Playing the field at the Frys.com Open

Each week, we break down the most significant players and storylines for the upcoming weekend's tournament. We're not saying these guys will win, or that you should pick them for your fantasy team; we're just saying you ought to keep an eye on them. You never know what might happen. Today, the third event of the Fall Series, the Frys.Com Open.

Rickie Fowler: He's back! One of the U.S. Ryder team's bright spots is poised to break big and get his first win. He nearly won this tournament last year, and he's gained plenty of confidence since then.

Bo Van Pelt: He's another one of those cats who seems to be so, so close to pushing through to the big time, but he's not yet there. With the (relatively) weaker field of a Fall Series event, this could be his time to step up.

David Duval: Yep, he's still hanging around. We want so badly for Duval to play well, and time after time he comes up short. One more good week, David. That's all we ask.

Pat Perez: Just because we want to see him absolutely lose his mind again somewhere along the way.

Paul Goydos: The oh-so-close journeyman is one of our favorites, despite -- or maybe because -- he can't ever seem to close the deal. Bring one home, Paul!

Tim Clark: He won the Players and seemed poised to bust out, but since then, not much. Step it up here, Tim! 

John Daly: Here's a bit of trivia for you -- Daly is one of only two players in the field with more than one major. (The other is Lee Janzen.) We didn't know what we had when we had Daly on top of the world, friends.

All right, you're up. Who are your picks for this weekend?
