Tag Ridings
Last year9s solo seventh kick-started a furious last-season rally that brought him into the top 100 for the first time and secured this year's playing card. His last top 10 was the Ford Championship at Doral so it's no surprise he9s mired in 137th in earnings and looking to turn on the afterburners. His putts per round (28.84, 37th) should push him up the standings.

Notah Begay III
A former winner here who has shown signs of coming back. He's comfortable on the course. Why not?

Woody Austin
He's got three top-20 finishes in his last three starts, including a tie for 16th at the PGA Championship. Austin knows how to win, too, and this might just be where he gets the third of his PGA TOUR career.

David Duval
He's making his second trip to Montreux Golf & Country Club after missing the cut badly last year. But Duval's performance in 2006 suggests a rebound and veterans have played well at this venue (like John Cook, Kirk Triplett and Scott Verplank).

Gabriel Hjertstedt
With a tie for ninth in Tucson and a tie for sixth at the B.C. Open, Hjertstedt has finished in the top-10 in each of the first two dual field events this season.

Bubba Watson
Hey, you're going to have to go low or go home, so the flier here is on Bubba. He'll put the ball a long ways out there (first on the TOUR with an average drive of 319 yards), giving himself a chance to score. He hits a respectable 67 percent of greens in regulation so if a few putts fall, he could walk away the winner.
