1. Tiger Woods-the obvious fave. It'd be a shock if he didn't win.
2. Justin Rose-always gets these spurts where he sticks near the top for a few weeks in a row.
3. Phil Mickelson-used to play really well at Torrey Pines. The course should still suit him, especially if the frost knocked the rough back as much as reports indicate and it turns into a shootout.
I'll be there on Saturday. I'll let you all know how it's stacking up first hand.
One of my wife's good friends husband is the lead camera guy for the PGA tour coverage. He's been doing it for years and he always follows the leaders group. If all goes well, I'll have some hospitality tent passes waiting for us at will call, and maybe some locker room passses. That would be the cat's behind!!
He won 8 of 15 PGA Tour starts last year, and has won the Buick four times. I would say there is some credibility to Card's statement!
Not to be argumentative (heck, I'd never do that ), but that's still nearly half that he didn't win and the longer this steak goes on the more likely it is to be broken. I think shock is a bit strong, as well.

I don't see how the "streak" is more likely to be broken as it gets longer...every week is still a new event and statistically, no one event should have a greater or lesser probability of occurring based on previous events. Chances are it'll end sometime, but the chances of it happening this week versus as the Nissan are just the same.

It's not like flipping a coin, though. There are factors other than pure mathmatical probabilty and even if there weren't that would make it 50-50 and neither outcome could be considered shocking.

We'll see on Sunday, I suppose.
