All times are eastern.

Davis Love III, Fredrik Jacobson
Tee time:
12:42 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 19
Why you should watch: Both players will need to come from behind on the weekend to have a chance to win. However, you can never count out Davis Love III at Harbour Town. Love is a five-time winner of the Verizon Heritage and he's hungry for a win. When he's within striking distance at Harbour Town on the weekend, few players are more intimidating.

Anthony Kim, Cliff Kresge
Tee time:
1:36 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 0
Why you should watch: Each player is looking for his first TOUR win. Kim, who was the youngest rookie on the PGA TOUR at age 21 in 2007, has drawn comparisons to Tiger Woods by such stalwarts as Mark O'Meara. He'll need to start racking up the wins to get into Tiger's league, but certainly seems like one of those players whose thisclose to knocking the door down. Cliff Kresge on the other hand, could provide the ultimate feel-good story. April is Autism Awareness month and Kresge's son, Mason, suffers from the disorder. There wouldn't be a dry eye at Harbour Town on Sunday if the journeyman were to pull it off.

Lucas Glover, Boo Weekley
Tee time:
1:45 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 2
Why you should watch: This will be a crowd-pleaser. Lucas Glover is a South Carolina native and a Clemson University graduate. Boo Weekley is the defending champion and always a fan-favorite. Both are playing great golf. For Glover a huge week in his home state could do wonders for a career that many expected to have more "Ws" by now. For Weekley, it's a chance to add a second tartan jacket to his closet -- perhaps one for fishing and one for hunting.

Glover 9 7 -- -- -- -- 2 70.86
