Yea, I know it's now called the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, but that is way too long to say or write.
K.J. Choi is coming off an impressive win at The Players and he is in the field this week. He has never won here, but he has to be thought of as one of the favorites.
Zach Johnson is the defending champ and Zach is looking for a good result to get his spring and summer kickstarted. Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker, and the embattled Rory Sabbatini have all won here recently.
It's a tough course and a strong field. It should be a quite a shootout this week.
Here is this week's buy, sell, or hold.
Buy:
Phil Mickelson (A) - Always a strong play at Colonial
Martin Laird (A) - Played well here last year with a T-10. Five top-10's already in 2011.
Steve Stricker (B) - You have to play Steve this week. He loves this event and he's always a strong play.
Charl Schwartzel (B) - Nothing spectacular since The Masters, but he played well last week and should be ok to play this week.
Sergio Garcia (C) - He won here all the way back in 2001. He might be in contention again this year.
Tom Lehman (C) - He's mainly playing on The Champion's Tour, but he's played well in the two events he's entered on the young guy's tour. He's won this event and he knows the course.
Sell:
Padraig Harrington (A) - Not playing well enough to start him this week, sorry.
Brent Delahoussaye (B) - He hasn't made a cut in 2011, and if you can't spell or pronounce his name, there is no reason to start him.
Tom Byrum (C) - What is he doing in the field this week?
Hold:
Davis Toms (B) - Toms is playing great golf, but he's played a lot. He might be getting a little tired, but he did finish T-13 here last year when he wasn't playing that great.
* - Don't forget to listen to the AudioBoo for the "flyer" of the week.

* Update - Plan your lineups accordingly. Phil Mickelson and Steve Stricker have pulled out of this week's Colonial.
