Fantasy Golf Buy, Sell or Hold for the Memorial Tournament

 

No Tiger again this week, but we have Phil, Luke, Steve and Vijay again this week, so it's a decent field at Muirfield Village in Ohio.

Justin Rose won his first title on American soil last year and he's back to defend his title.
Let's get right to this weeks, buy, sell and hold.

Buy:

Luke Donald (A) - The new #1 player in the world also sits #1 on the money list.  Pretty much when he plays, he finishes in the top-10.  Didn't play here last year, but he's a good bet to do something this week.

Phil Mickelson (A) - Phil hasn't missed a cut all year, and he usually plays well here.  He finished T-5 here last year.

Hunter Mahan (B) - He missed the cut here last year, but before that he finished T-14.  He's playing too well in 2011 not to put him in your line up.

Rickie Fowler (B) - Fowler's game sets up well for the course as evidenced by his second place finish last year.  He's setting up his schedule perfectly to to do well here and at the U.S. Open. 

Bo Van Pelt (B) - Van Pelt's game is rounding into shape.  He is coming off a third place finish at Colonial and he shot a 12-under last year to finish T-3.

Ryan Palmer (C) - Palmer is having a career year.  He's coming off a second place at the Byron Nelson.  He makes cuts and can win any week he's out there.  He didn't play the Memorial last year, but that doesn't worry me.

Rory McIlroy (C) - Rory is about due for another top 10 and he's always a great play as a C-level player.

Sell:

Brian Davis (A) - Davis is a solid player, but he's missed two cut in a row coming into the Memorial.  That is never a good sign.

Jose Maria Olazabal (B) - He hasn't played nearly enough and is not ready for the test that Muirfield offers.

Scott Stallings (C) - Stallings hasn't come close to making a cut in weeks.  he won't make on this week either.

Hold:

Bubba Watson (B) - What is Bubba going to do this week?  He doesn't miss cuts, but he hasn't gone real low the past couple weeks.  He want to win again, badly.

Day 10: French Open Match of the Day - Pavlyuchenkova vs. Schiavone 

This is a great matchup of contrasting styles.  Pavs is the young Russian with the big forehand and is not afraid to go for broke.

Schiavone is the defending champ, she will use her experience, spins and angles to try and confuse her Russian opponent. 

It's a big moment for both players.  Pavs is trying to advance to a Grand Slam Semi and Schiavone is trying to show her title last year was no fluke.

Look for two tough sets, with the Russian, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova coming out on top.

Day 9: French Open Match of the Day - Sharapova vs. Radwanska

With all the upsets in the women's draw at the 2011 French Open, it's surprising to me that Maria Sharapova is still playing.

Clay isn't her best surface, but she's healthy and determined.  Sharapova is playing her game and if she's going to lose, she's going to go down swinging.

Radwanska is mainly a counter puncher and she will look to use some of the power that Sharapova will give to her.  Radwanska will get a lot of balls in play and will try and frustrate Maria.

Look for a three-setter here and Sharapova winning 6-4 in the third.

Blue Angels Remain Grounded for Safety Review

The precision flying team, the Blue Angels have canceled their headline performance at an upcoming midwest air show as they continue a safety review.

The Navy's air demonstration team announced Saturday it won't perform at the annual Rockford AirFest in June. The team is in a "safety stand-down" after flying too close to the ground during a maneuver at an air show in May.

Navy Commander Dave Koss is voluntarily leaving the team soon after some of its jets flew at a lower altitude than allowed at a Virginia air show last weekend.


Two military air demonstration teams and the U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team are still scheduled to perform at the Rockford AirFest. The event will be held June 4-5 at the Chicago Rockford International Airport.

The Blue Angels also cancelled an appearance at the Evansville Freedom Festival Airshow in Indiana on June 11-12.

Koss announced his departure four days after the team said it was going on an indefinite safety stand-down because of the error.

Four of the six F/A-18 Hornets flew below their specified altitude in a diamond formation at the Lynchburg, VA., show. All six aircraft landed safely about three-fourths of the way through the scheduled performance without damage to the planes or injury to the pilots. The exact altitude they violated has not been released.

American Idol Finalists Perform at Microsoft Store in Atlanta - Scotty McCreery Pics

American Idol champ Scotty McCreery was the last to perform at the Microsoft Store Saturday afternoon in Atlanta, and the best was definitely saved for last.

McCreery sounds as good as or better than he does on television, he plays to the crowd and has his act down pat. 

He's a country star in the making.

Here he shares a lighthearted moment with Lauren Alaina
