Comments: Fantasy Golf: Expert Picks for Northern Trust Open
The PGA has over one month of the 2011 campaign in the books, yet we continue to stare at a calendar showing nearly two months of time to endure before the first major event – The Masters – marks the "official" start of the season for a majority of golf enthusiasts. This week's Northern Trust Open brings the Tour back to the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California. This illustrious course has served as PGA staple since 1929, marking it as one of the historic venues of the game. Former champions include iconic golf greats such as Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer, Hale Irwin, and Tom Watson. Recent champions include Fred Couples, Nick Faldo, Ernie Els, Robert Allenby, Mike Weir, Adam Scott, Phil Mickelson, and defending champ Steve Stricker.
