After a wild week at the British Open, things get back to normal as the Tour heads up north. Heavy rains have softened up the greens at Shaughnessy, which last hosted a tour event in 2005, so despite some unfamiliarity with the course look for scores to go low this week. Here’s a look at some of the top contenders…
Ryan Moore (25/1): The Washington state native should feel right at home in the Pacific Northwest. He was a runner-up at Shaughnessy the last time the Open was played here back in 2005. He had a solid showing at the British Open (T28) and tied for second at the Travelers Championship the last week in June.
Matt Kuchar (12/1): He missed the cut at the British Open, ending his streak of 29 made cuts. But he’s still been remarkably consistent in 2011, and he was in contention at Shaughnessy in 2005 (T14).
Charl Schwartzel (15/1): He’s hung around again and again this year (seven top-25 finishes), including a T16 at the British Open.
Luke Donald (8/1): He’ll have something to prove after a disastrous missed cut at the British. He won in Scotland the previous week, and is certainly the best golfer in this field with eight top-10 finishes in 11 Tour events this year.
Anthony Kim (30/1): He’s still trying to find his form after an injury-plagued 2010, but last week was a major confidence boost for Kim. He finished T5 at the British, playing Friday-Saturday-Sunday, when things were especially difficult, at 2-under par.
Spencer Levin (40/1): A horrendous Saturday took him out of contention at the British Open, but he managed to sandwich an 81 with a couple of 1-under 69’s in very tough conditions. He had two top-15’s in his three starts prior to the British.
Bo Van Pelt (25/1): Getting back to North American soil should do Van Pelt some good. He had a disappointing week at the British (T57), but had a run of five straight top-15 finishes prior to that.
Rickie Fowler (15/1): He’s put together a couple of nice weeks, with a T5 at the British Open preceded by a T13 at the AT&T National. He’ll have to solve his Sunday woes, though, as he carries a 71.83 final-round scoring average (134th on the Tour).
