Sony Open, First Round

My four Yahoo Fantasy picks were Zach Johnson, YE Yang, David Toms, and Matt Kuchar. Solid first rounds by all 4. My bench was Mark Wilson, Pat Perez, Bryce Molder, and Rickie Fowler. It looks like 5 of the 8 will make the cut. Okay, but definitely not a great way to start the season. I'm probably going to end up putting Pat Perez and Mark Wilson in the starting lineup for moving day. Along with Zach Johnson. Unfortunately both of my C-list players are going to miss the cut.

I really like how the tournaments transfer from a wide open, par 73, huge green course like Kapalua, to a tight, winding, par 70, small green course like Waialae. It really makes the players think about where to put their tee shots, which is why I picked some players who can find the fairway (Yang, Toms, Johnson, Wilson).

Oh yeah, and how could I forget, Long John makes his return to the Tour. And he greets us with his normal greeting... a missed cut. What's up with the painter's cap? It was cool to see Ricky Barnes rockin' it, but John Daly? He should be wearing a cowboy hat.

I'll be back later on to update on the second round, and ridicule Daly's stylish apparel. I'm sorry but those pants just don't do it for me.

Cheers!
