Who should you keep a close eye on going into this week's PGA TOUR event at Brown Deer Park GC? Here are a handful of names.

	PLAYER: Keny Perry \| POSITION: 2nd It's no secret Kenny Perry is the hottest golfer on the planet, with three victories in his last five starts, but he has been playing solidly all year. He hasn't missed a cut since the his first start of the year, a streak that has now reached 18 events. He started climbing the Points List at THE PLAYERS Championship, coming in at 61st and leaving in 56th. Its been a steady climb since then, to second, currently. He can maintain his lead over Mickelson with a fifth or better, even if Mickelson wins the British Open. MORE: 2008 stats \| 2008 results \| Profile
	PLAYER: Chad Campbell \| POSITION: 25th Campbell was the 106th seed last year, but four top 10s this year (versus one last year in the Regular Season) have propelled him to 25th. MORE: 2008 stats \| 2008 results \| Profile
	PLAYER: Tommy Armour III \| POSITION: 36th Armour has made seven straight cuts, including a tie for second, tie for third and tie for 10th since the Shell Houston Open, climbing from a low of 110th in the FedExCup standings to 36th. MORE: 2008 stats \| 2008 results \| Profile
