Top 5 at Buick, Fantasy Golf Dream

Posted by Alan L. Hammond Jan 26, 2007

At the start of the second round of the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines, the top five positions will be occupied by 13 players. How’s this for a leaderboard: Brandt Snedeker, Charlie Wi, Jeff Quinney, John Senden, Gavin Coles, Chris Couch, Robert Garrigus, Cliff Kresge, Stephen Marino, Jose Maria Olazabal, Darron Stiles, Kevin Sutherland and Johnson Wagner.

One, maybe two of those (Jose Maria and possibly Kevin Sutherland) are well known. The rest, well, they have some work cut out before they become recognizable. There are a few fantasy golfers out there with one or more of these fellas on their teams who are feeling pretty good right now. How they finish in the tournament and in the coming weeks will be worthy of taking note, as they may make good additions to fantasy teams as the year progresses.

Lots of people are pulling for these underdogs. It is, however, a long way to Sunday. The cream will rise to the top. For those who have these guys on their fantasy roster, best of luck.
