With a few deadlines closing in, I don't have time for a full preview this week. So I present to you my picks with limited distraction.
Hunter Mahan, 22-1. Has been one of the early season stars, posting four top-10s in seven starts. He has yet to miss a cut this year and has played well at Bay Hill the last year with a T25, T22 and T6 here.
Sergio Garcia, 50-1. It's been a slow but steady decline for the former world number two, who now finds himself ranked 82nd in the world. His game is showing signs of coming back around, with a top-30 finishes in all four of his events this year. He has also posted five top-10s in nine appearances in Arnie's tournament.
Kevin Na, 50-1. There was an ugly three week stretch where he was cut at Torrey Pines, TPC Scottsdale and Pebble Beach but on both sides of that stretch he posted top-five finishes. He's been in contention the last two years, with a T2 last year and a T11 in 2009.
Aaron Baddeley, 50-1. When you consider the success he's had since reverting from the stack and tilt to his old swing -- a T6 at Pebble Beach and a win at Riviera is never bad -- it makes his last few years less relevant statistically. He had a good stretch here from 03-05 with a sixth, a T56 and a T5.
Longshot: Kevin Streelman, 100-1. In two appearances at Bay Hill he's posted a T66 and a T7. He's coming off his best start of the year with a T15 at Doral two weeks ago.
