Really a dart throw, but Tiger or chubbyPhil are the obvious early picks...
I was bored last eve, fighting off a horriblefookinsummerheadcold, flipping channels and watched the Golf Channel review, showing WF, hole by hole.

The interesting thing to me was the side by side comparo pics of the holes from 1997 to 2006: something like 18,000 (thousand!) trees have been removed from the course, espc. ones squeezing the std landing area on fairways and those overhanging the greens. I realize it's still considered a killer tough course, but the "look" was remarkable diff. from '97 to '06, following the "re-do"; not a tree hugger issue, but it sure "looks" diff and could be a course "anywhere in America" to the casual TV viewer, as opposed to the typical "old established Northeast" type course that I've seen.

Jes' an observation on the very diff "look"...
I couldn't break 120 from the TIPS, I suspect, lol!
