Fantasy selections
Projected champion
Anne Detlefsen Zach Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama
Scott Piercy, John Peterson
Zach Johnson
Closed out 2013 season strong and played well at The Presidents Cup. No doubt he'll be in the mix in Vegas, where he was T10 in 2008.

Chris Dunham Ben Crane, Brendon de Jonge
Martin Laird, Nick Watney
Brendon de Jonge
Anyone who frequently reads my picks (Hi, mom!) knows that I like to mix it up a little bit with my lineups and I don't expect Crane, who has five top 20s in his last seven trips here, or former champion Laird will crack many lineups. Give me de Jonge to continue his stellar play from The Presidents Cup and win at TPC Summerlin.

Helen Ross Brendon de Jonge, Graham DeLaet,
Zach Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama
Hideki Matsuyama
My lineup features recent Presidents Cuppers, three of whom are looking for their first wins. I expect all to break through soon, but Hideki Matsuyama has momentum after last week's tie for third.

Mike McAllister Graham DeLaet, Zach Johnson
Kevin Na, Scott Piercy
Graham DeLaet
Had made 81 starts without a PGA TOUR win. Based on how he played at The Presidents Cup, maybe No. 82 is his lucky number in Vegas.

Rob Bolton Brendon de Jonge, Zach Johnson
Hideki Matsuyama, Nick Watney
Zach Johnson
No reason to deviate from the top four in my Power Rankings. Not this early. Not in this field.

Nick Watney
A dreadful summer was salvaged in the FedExCup Playoffs with a T9 at The Barclays and a solo second at the BMW Championship; he'll keep those vibes going at TPC Summerlin, where the Vegas resident has three straight top 10s.

Bill Cooney Graham DeLaet, Zach Johnson
Hideki Matsuyama, Nick Watney
Hideki Matsuyama
Matsuyama may prove to be one of the better ball-strikers on TOUR by season's end. Machine-like at times, I like him to take home his first title this week.

Bryan Mullen Graham DeLaet, Zach Johnson
Webb Simpson, Ryan Moore
Ryan Moore
Consider it a home game for the defending champion, who went to UNLV and resides in Las Vegas. Moore can go super low at TPC Summerlin (61-68-65-66 in 2012)  and he puts himself in great position to start the 2013-14 season well.

Amanda Balionis Graham DeLaet, Zach Johnson
Hideki Matsuyama, Webb Simpson
Webb Simpson
Has seen success here, finished T4 in 2010 and is also coming off a successful Presidents Cup appearance. Oh, and Simpson doesn't strike me as the partying type in Vegas, so his focus will be all on the course.

D.J. Piehowski Zach Johnson, Spencer Levin
Kevin Na, John Peterson
Zach Johnson
Nobody tell Zach Johnson it's a new season, since he finished his 2013 campaign with a win and seven top 10s in his last eight starts. Also look for Levin to continue his comeback from injury at a course where he's had success.

Sean Martin Zach Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama
Kevin Na, Nick Watney
Nick Watney
Seemed to be in good form at the end of the 2013 season, and has a good history at TPC Summerlin.
Ryan Smithson Brendon de Jonge, Graham DeLaet
Webb Simpson, Nick Watney
Brendon de Jonge
I can't wait to see what a couple of the Internationals' stars will do this week at TPC Summerlin. I'll bet I am one of the few who leaves Zach Johnson on the bench. I am saving him for later.

John
Swantek
Graham DeLaet, Robert Garrigus
Hideki Matsuyama, Kevin Na
Graham DeLaet
The week off following his International best 3-1-1 showing at The Presidents Cup will have the Canadian rejuvenated to pick up right where he left off last season, routinely contending for victories.

第2戦の専門家の予想では、上記のように英樹の優勝を挙げる人が3名もいる。

残念!!英樹、胃炎発症で棄権!!!メデイアもがっかり!!!飛車が抜けた日本選手!!!第三戦を待つ!!!

実力が、認められている今、旬のプレヤーと位置づけられたのである。遼は、この物差しには、番外にしても、

かなり、トップ戦線に近いにおいがする。カナダの新鋭、デレも、また、ヨングも最右翼である。

遼は、急いではならない。自分のゴルフに目標を掲げ、向こうから勝利がやってくる賢才のManagement を忘れないことだ。初優勝が。5年後では、辛抱できないのか。王者の剣を磨け!!!

英樹は、旬だから、優勝へ突進してみよ。スキルの引き出しは、試合ごとに増えていくはずだ。アメリカの経験が

恐ろしいほど、吸収して行く力を持っている。第三者が、とくにメデイアと選手が、太陽に一番近い選手とみなしているのだから、日本人としては、うれしい限りだ。でも、3位タイで新聞に幅広く宣伝されるようであれば、情けない。遼は、スキルも英語も仲間も盛んであるから、じっくり、煮こめ、笑顔が消えなくなるまで、精神統一だ
