Fantasy Golf Buy, Sell or Hold for British Open

A tough and historic course and difficult weather conditions await the golfers at Royal St. Georges and the 2011 Open Championship.

The weather forecast calls for cool temps and a chance of rain on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  If the wind picks up as it usually does, the scores will go up as well.

Here's this week's buy, sell, and hold.

Buy:

Graeme McDowell (A) - My top pick for the tournament.  His game is right on the cusp and the course and conditions should suit him this week.

Luke Donald (A) - He's about due to win one of these.

Lee Westwood (A) - Are you noticing a trend here?

Steve Stricker (B) - He's coming off another win at the John Deere.  If he isn't too tired he's a solid play this week.

Webb Simpson (B) - He's playing well, so why not?

Sergio Garcia (C) - He's got a chance.

Rory McIlroy (C) - Everyone will have McIlroy as a C selection.

Sell:

Jim Furyk (A) - I don't expect Furyk to break out this week.

Martin Laird (A) - No chance this week.

Hiroyuki Fujita (B) - A Japanese player who has not made a cut at a big tournament this year.

Robert Rock (C) - I usually only have a chance to list this guy a couple times a year, so here he is.

John Daly (C) - Do you even have to ask why he is on the list?

Hold:

Nick Watney (A) - He's one of the hottest players right now, and if he keeps it in play and putts he could win.

Fantasy Golf Buy, Sell or Hold for John Deere Classic

While some players have the British Open on their mind this week, others are still state side for one of the best run events on tour, The John Deere Classic.

It is played each and every year at the TPC at Deere Run in Silvis, IL.  It seems more and more golfers are playing the John Deere before they head to Britain, and they all have a good time.

Two-time defending champ Steve Stricker is back before he heads across the pond.  Also expected to tee it are reigning British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, Davis Love III, Stewart Cink and Jason Day.

Can Stricker three-peat?  Here is this week's buy, sell and hold.

Buy:

Brian Gay (A) - Gay is having a great season and should show well here.  He hasn't played here since a T-12 in 2008.

Steve Marino (A) - Marino could get real hot and go low here.

Steve Stricker (B) - How can you not go with the two-time defending champ?

Chris Riley (B) - No shame in going with this veteran golfer who had three solid rounds at the AT&T,

Vaughn Taylor (B) - Taylor is having a nice year and he finished T-7 here in 2010.

Jason Day (C) - A solid C-level pick.  He finished T-15 last year.

Charles Howell III (C) - Howell's game may be finally coming around and he likes this course and event.

Sell:

Michael Sim (A) - Has made only 3 cuts in 2011.

Todd Hamilton (B) - Has made only 3 cuts in 2011.

Rich Beem (C) - This may sound like a broken record, but he has made only 3 cuts in 2011.

Hold:

David Toms (B) - Is having a good year and should play well on this course.  A little risky, but usually a safe play.

Check back for our "flyer" of the week.

Fantasy Golf Buy, Sell or Hold for the AT&T National

On to Tiger's tournament, minus Tiger this week  at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, PA.
Eleven major championship winners are in the field this week, so there will be some great golf played.  Defending champ, Justin Rose is back to defend his title and looking to wrestle the trophy away from Rose will be the likes of Geoff Ogilvy, Adam Scott, Hunter Mahan, Nick Watney and Rickie Fowler.

Major winners hunting for the title include 2009 U.S. Open champ Lucas Glover, 2008 Masters winner Trevor Immelman, 2006 U.S. Open winner Ogilvy, 2003 U.S. Open champ Furyk, 2003 Masters champ Mike Weir, 2003 British Open champ Ben Curtis, 2003 PGA champion Shaun Micheel, 1997 British Open winner Justin Leonard and 1995 PGA champion Steve Elkington.

The buy, sell and holds keep getting tougher and tougher as the season goes on, but we'll keep looking for the hot players.

Buy:

Jim Furyk (A) - This is the type of spot where Furyk usually plays well.

Nick Watney (A) - I know this is like a broken record, but Watney is good and he had a T-7 here in 2010.

Webb Simpson (B) - Stay with a hot golfer and go with Webb.

Justin Rose (B) - The defending champ is about due for a big week.

Vijay Singh (B) - Vijay likes this course and he had a T-9 here last year.  Never count him out.

J.B. Holmes (C) - Finished 5th here in 2010.  Four top-10's in 2011 and no missed cuts.

John Merrick (C) - Played well at Aronimink last year and has been very consistent this year.  A safe play for sure.

Sell:

K.J. Choi (A) - His game is in a little bit of a funk right now.  He's too good for that to last, but pass on him for this week.

Chris Stroud (B) - Outside of one top-10 this year, he's been awful.

Mike Weir (C) - What has happened to Mike Weir?  Beyond awful in 2011.

Hold:

Bryce Molder (B) - Molder has been in a slump, but he bested out of it last week at the Travelers with a T-6.  May want to hold this week to see if that was legit.
