Bill Haas. In the 15 tournaments since he was last cut, Haas won once and was a runner-up twice. His worst result was a T47 and in the 14 other events he finished at least inside the top 35.
Padraig Harrington. Although he carded a one-under 70 in the second round, it probably could have been much lower. He hit 83 per cent of greens in reg, but needed 33 putts overall -- with a 1.933 putts per GIR average.
Sean O'Hair. Not since the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in early August has O'Hair posted a top-five finish. In fact, his only top-25 came last week with a T24 at the Honda Classic.
Robert Garrigus. Make that four missed cuts, a WD and a T51 since losing in a playoff to Jonathan Byrd at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.
Ryo Ishikawa. On his month-long tour of the U.S., Ishikawa has been cut twice, been knocked out in the first round at the match play and finished T42 at Doral after a final round 78.
K.J. Choi. Two-time champ cards four bogeys and no birdies to get the weekend off.
Trunk Slammer of the week: Jamie Lovemark. Five missed cuts, a WD, T28 and T58 for the 2010 Nationwide Tour player of the year. Was sitting at -1 standing on the 16th tee, a quadruple bogey and back-to-back bogeys pushed him to five-over.
Double Dip
Jonathan Byrd, 28-1. After winning the first event of the season, Byrd struggled to find his form with three mid-30s finishes, while also being cut twice. He is coming off a T10 at Doral last week though and has hit a lot of greens in reg. If he can make some putts (1.756 per GIR) he could make a run.
Stewart Cink, 66-1. Since wince the '09 British Open, Cink has turned in just four top-10s and only one of those was a full field event. But he knows how to win and has played solid all week. May be a little too far back, but he's worth taking a flyer on.
Jason Day, 100-1/Paul Casey, 80-1. There have been nine rounds of 65 or less this week including one by both of them. If Justin Rose can fire two rounds of 65, why can't they?
