The Northern Trust Open turned out to be very interesting as James Hahn surprised the world of golf by proving that he can do more than just crush the “Gangnam Style” dance. Hahn took down Dustin Johnson and Paul Casey in a very exciting playoff match with two huge birdie putts. Congratulations to Hahn on his first PGA Tour win, but now we move on to this week’s Honda Classic at PGA National.

This tournament boasts a star-studded field (including Rory as he makes his 2015 debut) at the spectacular PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The course should provide plenty of excitement with the infamous Bear Trap (Holes 15, 16 and 17) promising to make things interesting as the leaders try to close out their rounds on Sunday afternoon.

How it works:

• My Guy: If I’m picking in a one-golfer league, and had to just pick one…he’s the guy.
• Stripes: “Man, I was striping it today” as the big guy (TW) likes to say. Call these guys my “favorites” each week.
• Wildcard: All in the name. Enough said.
• Shank: I hate to even say this word, especially on a golf course, so as you can imagine these are guys to avoid.
