This week we are in Fort Worth, Texas at Colonial Country Club for the Crowne Plaza Invitational. David Toms is the defending champion. The winner will take home $1.116 million and 500 FedEx Cup points.

Colonial is one of the tighter tracks on the PGA Tour. We are looking for golfers who hit a ton of fairways and greens while putting well. A low GIR (Greens In Regulation percentage) can be overlooked for a golfer who is an excellent scrambler. Consistency is more important than "upside" or potential here.

Given the nature of Colonial, it makes sense to go with golfers who have a history of success here. That's not to say that you should avoid golfers who have been playing well recently, even if they haven't exactly lit it up at Colonial. Or if they just don't have much experience.

But in a tie-breaking situation, I would go with the golfer who has done well here before.

 

Golf Yahoo! Weekly Lineup Game

 

Group A




Zach Johnson (Starting)

Johnson hasn't exactly lit it up so far in 2012, with only three top-10 finishes. Thankfully, two of those finishes were in his last three events, and they were a second-place finish and a T2 (tied for second place) finish. He ranks eighth on the PGA Tour in Driving Accuracy, 10th in Scrambling and 22nd in Putting (Strokes Gained). His last three finishes at Colonial? Fourth, first and T9.



 

Matt Kuchar (Bench)

Kuchar has been playing brilliantly in his past three events, with three top-15 finishes including a win two weeks ago at the Players Championship. He remains one of the most accurate golfers on Tour, ranking 31st in Driving Accuracy and 15th in GIR to go along with a tidy 19th in Scrambling. Kuchar was successful here last year, finishing T16.

 

Also worth using: Jim Furyk
