The defending champion of this event that is held at the Colonial Country Club is Boo Weekley.  He is joined by former champions, Zach Johnson, David Toms, Corey Pavin, Rory Sabbatini, Tim Herron, Keith Clearwater, Olin Browne, Steve Flesch and Rod Curl.

 

Top Choices

It is hard to ignore the favorite in this one as Matt Kuchar has finished in the top ten in five of his last six starts. He finished second in this tournament a year ago.  You also have to consider Zach Johnson who has won this event twice and finished in the top ten in his last five trips to Colonial.

 

Golf Predictions

This could be the week that Graham Delaet gets his first win and he is listed at golf odds of 33-1.  Another player getting some action on the odds board is Chris Kirk as his odds have dropped to 35-1.  For my longshot I will go with Ryan Palmer at odds of 45-1.
