In the last 10 years or so, Els, Love, Stricker, Furyk, Woods have consistently been high on the leaderboards throughout.

Singh is woefully out of form at the moment, and to some extent him and Garcia are very similar. Supreme strikers of the ball, but miss so many birdie chances from inside 20 ft.

Westwood has been involved with every major on day 3 for the last two seasons, I think there are only about 4 players that could say that so he obviously cant be discounted. I said Richard Green last year, and the Power called me a chump. How times change. Its also about time Dougherty and Casey stepped up to the plate, though I dont think they will.

Havent looked at either the entrants list or in fact the odds, but in the absence of Woods and the collapse of the vale bets id go personally for:-

Westwood
Scott
Mickleson
and a couple of cheeky ?5's on Martin Kaymer (outsider as unproven on links) and Freddie Jakobson (looked the nuts a few years ago and has gone awol for a while)
