Fantasy Aces: Match game
He's currently No. 3 in the world, and started this season with a runner-up finish at the the Mercedes-Benz Championship, a tie for fourth at the Sony Open and a tie for 11th last week in L.A.
Go ahead, point out the fact that he lost the Mercedes to Daniel Chopra in a sudden-death playoff, which can be considered a match-play situation.
But here's the best part: Stricker faces Chopra in Wednesday's first round.
He will get his revenge.
Ace up Soderstrom's sleeve: Scott Verplank.
Picking a guy who's known for stepping it up in Ryder Cups and Presidents Cups doesn't seem like a bad choice, until you see who he's up against in Round 1: Tiger-killer Nick O'Hern. I still like the upset here.
Lance Ringler's best bet: K.J.
