I think last years clear-cut winner deserves a little more respect than his current odds, Robert Garrigus [75.0] has looked a bit out of sorts in recent months, but last year's triumph came after a woeful run.

Dan Geraghty fancies a favourite, middle ranker and last year's champ in this week's Three Against the Field column.

I guess I should have known the infuriatingly slow Ben Crane would go in a week late.

I would certainly like to cheer Englishman Luke Donald this week on in his quest to top the PGA Tour Money List, however, I'm inclined to agree with Paul Krishnamurty that the two favourites are ones to swerve as the pressure mounts.

Gary Woodland [24.0] appears for the first time since a 13th placed finish at the Tour Championship. The monster hitter has had a remarkably consistent season, he's finished in the top-25 in 14 of his 24 starts and has enhanced his reputation so much that he finds himself as one of this week's star attractions. Robert Garrigus's win last year tells us the course may suit the bombers and while Luke and Webb are watching each other, Gary may well roll past them both.

It has been a thoroughly disappointing year for Jeff Overton [46.0] following a fantastic debut (and perhaps final!) Ryder Cup performance. But Overton been showing definite signs of life with a fine sixth placed finish last week. It's last chance saloon time for the gentle giant to break his PGA Tour duck this season and with it my last chance to force my favourite clip of last year on you.

I think last years clear-cut winner deserves a little more respect than his current odds, Robert Garrigus [75.0] has looked a bit out of sorts in recent months, but last year's triumph came after a woeful run and this tournament has thrown up repeat winners on no less than five occasions.

Dangers: Last years runner up Roland Thatcher [170.0] is an old favourite of mine and must have a good chance back at Disney. Spencer Levin [28.0] was third last year and clearly enjoys it here but if he's going to finally win he'll need to learn to control his infamous temper. Good luck everyone!

Selections: Gary Woodland [24.0], Jeff Overton [46.0], Robert Garrigus [75.0]
