Pro Golfer Kevin Na Whiffs on a Drive

Pro golfer Kevin Na completely misses the ball on the 15th tee of the Justin Timberlake PGA Tour event in Las Vegas, Neveda!

The way he hit his next shot, he probably wished he would've missed that too.

Fantasy Golf Buy, Sell or Hold for Deutsche Bank Championship

The cuts have begun and we are now down to the top-100 in the FedExCup points as we head to the TPC of Boston.  The course escaped any major damage from Hurricane Irene and officials say final preparations won't take that long as the week begins.

With his win, Dustin Johnson now sits atop the points standings and Matt Kuchar resides in second.

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


Buy

Matt Kuchar (A) - He wants that top spot in the FedExCup points standings.

Luke Donald (A) - He finished in a T-2 here last year.

Steve Stricker (B) - Hasn't missed a cut so far in 2011, finished 9th here last year.

John Senden (B) - Is about due for a top finish or a win.  Had an 8th place finish here in 2010.

Vijay Singh (B) - Playing well in the playoffs.

Charl Schwartzel (B) - The Masters champ is back.  He hasn't played since a decent result at the PGA.

Sergio Garcia (C) - Had a good PGA, but nothing spectacular at The Barclays.  Should rebound this week.

Jason Day (C) - A bunch of good results the second half of 2011 has put Day in good position.



Sell

Graeme McDowell (A) - He's having a bit of a down 2011 for a play that hits the ball as well as he does.

Sean O'Hair (B) - No reason to take Sean this week.

Chris Couch (C) - Hasn't played well in his last two events.  No reason to take him this week.


Hold

Keegan Bradley (C) - Should you take Keegan Bradley at a tournament in Boston?  Up to you to decide.

Fantasy Golf Buy, Sell, or Hold for The Barclays

The playoffs begin this week and a strong field heads to New Jersey for a very important event, The Barclays.  In a few weeks the PGA will crown this year's winner of the FedExCup.

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

Buy:

Matt Kuchar (A) - It's a different course, but he used this event as a springboard last year.

Luke Donald (A) - Playing well right now, he should be a solid play this week.

Steve Stricker (B) - If you have any starts left for Stricker, use him.

Webb Simpson (B) - Is anybody playing better than Webb Simpson right now?

Davis Love III (B) - Davis might be able to snatch a win at one of these tournaments.

Rickie Fowler (B) - Fowler is primed for a good run in the playoffs.

Tommy Gainey (C) - Why not?  He's playing well.

Adam Scott (C) - With Stevie on the bag, he's playing well.  He could win this week.

Sell:

Padraig Harrington (A) - Hasn't really been a threat in 2011.

Ben Crane (B) - One top-10 all year is not great.

William McGirt (C) - Just squeezed into the top-125.  Not a threat.

Hold:

Jim Furyk (A) - It hasn't been the best of years for this veteran, but he's playing better now at the end of the year.
