subject: Golf picks for Sony Open [print this page] The Sony Open at Hawaii is the other half of the two-tournament Aloha Swing. It will be hold at Waialae Country Club in Hawaii this week, but it won't be the clubby, winner's-only field of Kapalua. With a full field of 144 players, you have more fantasy decisions to make and the opportunity to really separate yourself from the pack. Don't worry; we're here to help. The Pro Tip: Look for players who are ready for a breakout season. This event isn't exclusive like the SBS, so someone you never considered can win it all, and your A-Group starter can miss the cut. A-Group
Zach Johnson: Stick with the defending champion even though Zach finished 10-shots off the lead at the SBS. Hey, the strategy worked last week with Geoff Ogilvy. Bench Player: Vijay Singh
We're predicting a comeback year for Veej. Plus, he's from Fiji, so he has that Pacific Ocean-island thing going for him. B-Group
Rory Sabbatini
His 6-under back nine on Sunday was special, and he nearly knocked off Ogilvy with a final-round 63. In golf, hot players generally stay hot. Keep that in mind every week when making your picks. Lucas Glover
Lucas was never going to just be a one-hit wonder after his U.S. Open win. He was shaping the ball at will at Kapalua before his final-round fade. Bench Players:
Pat Perez
He looked good with a top-10 in Kapalua. Sean O'Hair
Which hurt him more, the snap-hook into the jungle on 18 Sunday or the Cowboys thumping his beloved Eagles? We expect Sean to have a chip on both shoulders (a well-balanced Irishman, as the old joke goes). C-Group
Rickie Fowler
That's right, we're on the Rickie bandwagon here too. Bench Player: Angel Cabrera
