Woods and Mickelson grouped together, but Watson and Holmes is my choice

When I read that Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Adam Scott would be playing together next week at Torrey Pines, I thought, 'what a great idea.'  The networks and the fans will be happy.  Plus, ESPN's Chris Berman will have a field day with the threesome, so get ready for plenty of new sayings you would never want to add to your repertoire with your Sunday group.

Even though it will be a fun threesome, the group that excites me the most is the longhitters group of Bubba Watson, J.B. Holmes, and Brett Wetterich.  While none of them show much emotion on the course, you know they will be hitting the big stick a ton.  The kid scorer assigned to the group will be kept busy.

Wetterich leads by one over Oberholser, both seek second win on tour

Brett Wetterich fired a 5-under 66 on Sunday to take the third round lead at the Deutsche Bank Championship.  Wetterich is one of the longest hitters on tour and was able to take advantage of the classic layout at the TPC of Boston.  "It was nice to go out and play well," said Wetterich at his press conference. Arron Oberholser trails Wetterich by one stroke.  After his round, Oberholser told Jimmy Roberts of NBC Sports, "My putting has been saving me this week.  But I think if I’m going to win tomorrow, I’m going to have to strike the ball a little bit better than I have been."  Both Wetterich and Oberholser will be seeking their second win on the PGA Tour.
