Fantasy golf picks for the Northern Trust Open

Last week I wrote about the sorry state of the A-players -- Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington, Kenny Perry, Vijay Singh, etc. -- and how it was making a normally easy choice in my fantasy lineup a tough one. Not so much this week. While those players mentioned above are still available -- really, is anyone taking Phil this week? -- there are plenty of solid options across the board.

A-Players
K.J. Choi: With four straight top-30 finishes at Riviera, Choi is my guy this week. He didn't play too well last week, but he's already notched two top 15s this season.

Mike Weir: I should have taken my own advice last week. I chose Weir as my second A-player, but didn't start him over Furyk. Ouch. Sandwiched between a missed cut at the FBR, Weir has a T-3 and a second-place finish. Weir missed the cut last year, but he is a two-time winner at the Northern Trust.

B-Players
Aaron Baddeley: Badds has never missed the cut at the Riv, he's got Pete Bender back on the bag and he's hungry for another win.

Zach Johnson: Johnson's been on fire out of the gate in 2009. He has a win, a T-6 and a T-12. He's also never missed a cut in five appearances at Riviera.

Chad Campbell: He's got a solid record at the Northern Trust, plus Campbell is fresh, having only played two events this season. 

Lucas Glover: Glover has made the cut in both his appearances at Riviera, and he's coming off a T-3 at the Buick.

C-Players
Luke Donald: In three of his last four starts at the Northern Trust, Donald has finished in the top 15. He also hasn't finished out of the top 25 in three starts this season.

George McNeill: There is nothing flashy about McNeill or his record, he's just a solid player who's had solid finishes for the last two years.
