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 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.

Fantasy Golf Buy, Sell, or Hold for the HP Byron Nelson Championship

The PGA Tour moves across the Metroplex to Irving, TX for the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

A good field featuring Dustin Johnson, K.J. Choi, Ben Crane and defending Champion Jason Day will all be ready for the tournament rounds, Thursday at the TPC- Las Colinas.

The U.S. Open is coming fast and the players are adjusting their schedules to be as ready as they can for the next major of 2011.

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

Buy:

Nick Watney (A) - Only one missed cut all year.  His game should be ok for this course.

Rory Sabbatini (A) - He's playing like a man possessed.  Don't bet against him this week.

John Senden (B) - The Aussie missed the cut here last year, but he's coming off a good performance at Colonial.  He's about due for a win.

Jeff Overton (B) - Overton finished T-2 here last year.  His game likes the hot conditions that are expected this week.

Blake Adams (B) - You may not be all that familiar with the name, but Adams is an Oklahoma boy who likes playing in Texas.  Finished T-2 here last year.

Sergio Garcia (C) - Sergio needs a good finish and now.

Scott Verplank (C) - A great C-level play this week.  Verplank is a Texas boy, who played college golf in Oklahoma.  He'll be a threat this week.  He finished T-5 last year and his game is solid right now.


Sell:

Michael Sim (A) - Were back to putting Michael Sim as the sell for the A-level picks.

Derek Lamely (B) - See above for Derek Lamely

Garth Mulroy (C) - Hey, Garth Mulroy is in the field this week.  Don't pick him.  Party on, Garth!


Hold:

Dustin Johnson (A) - After a blazing start to the 2011 season, Johnson has cooled off.  Some think he may catch fire again this week.

Don't forget to listen to the AudioBoo for the "flyer" of the week.

Kindle Free Pick of the Week - Their Last Suppers: Legends of History and Their Final Meals

Ever sit and wonder what might be your last meal?

Did you know that Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian and his longtime private chef was Jewish? What dish played an integral role in Marilyn Monroe's unsuccessful bid to woo back Bobby Kennedy? Part historical narrative and part grilling guide and cookbook, Andrew Caldwell's Their Last Suppers: Legends of History and Their Final Meals guides history buffs and gourmands alike through gastronomically inspired biographical accounts of more than 20 legendary personalities.

Unearthing recipes as far back as 323 B.C., Caldwell, the History Chef, provides insight into 2,000 years of culinary lore. Each historical figure's profile includes a brief description of pursuits and accomplishments as well as little-known anecdotes, popular foods of his or her time period, recipes for the figure's actual last meal, and cooking tips. Because the kitchens of Montezuma, Caesar, and other notables profiled within the book were often very basic, Caldwell brings their fare into modern kitchens, although he strongly believes that, whenever possible, grills and open fires should be used for most dishes and therefore provides specific preparation tips throughout.

From the Titanic's 12-course tasting menu to personal recipes for Princess Diana's Favorite Watercress Soup, Elvis Presley's Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich, Julius Caesar's Ambrosia, Cleopatra's Hummus, and Stone Crab a la Kennedy, historians and foodies alike will relish the trivia and tastings paired within Their Last Suppers: Legends of History and Their Final Meals.
