PGATOUR.COM will have expert picks and sleepers for each Nationwide Tour event this year. Our experts -- Nationwide Tour producer Ceri Mobley and marketing assistant Jordan Crampton, who formerly worked for the Nationwide Tour -- will each choose two players they consider favorites that week and a sleeper pick (a player who is not inside "THE 25"). Here are their selections for this week's Moonah Classic at Moonah Links in Victoria, Australia.

Crampton's picks	Mobley's picks
Henrik Bjornstad. Bjornstad's T4 in Panama caught my attention. He could be a serious threat in '09. He was the last man out of the field at the Nationwide Tour Championship last season, and he will be out for revenge in '09 trying to secure his TOUR card.	Michael Sim. Bill Calfee, President of the Nationwide Tour, was excited for this guy's post-injury return, so who am I to argue? He already proved he's in tip-top shape with a win a couple of weeks ago, and he will win again.
Bryan DeCorso. My fellow Canadian did well at the season opener in Panama, and he also finished T10 here during his hot start in the 2008 season. Let's hope he keeps the momentum going through 2009.	Craig Parry. This veteran missed out on the Moonah Classic last year with an injury early in the year. He won the Australian Open at this course in '07, and he's really happy to be in the field this week.

Crampton's picks	Mobley's picks
Tripp Isenhour. Although the obvious choice here might be defending champion Ewan Porter, I'm going to leave him on the table for my counterpart and go with Tripp, who made the cut here last year and played well in Panama.	Danny Lee. While I appreciate Jordan's kindness in leaving me the guy whose season collapsed after a win last year, I'm going to go with the hot hand, instead. Lee just won the Johnnie Walker Classic. That's good enough to catch my eye.
