Wyndham Championship

JASON DUFNER vs. VIJAY SINGH Jason Dufner finished runner-up at the PGA Championship. Will that strong play carry another week to beat Vijay Singh, his golf hero, in Greensboro? DAVID TOMS vs. WEBB SIMPSON These highly ranked players in the FedExCup race (Toms-No. 8, Simpson-No. 12) both finished in the top-10 at Wyndham last year. Which one can take a good week to the top of the points list? DAVIS LOVE III vs. BILL HAAS It's a classic ACC rivalry Matchup between Davis Love III (UNC alum) and Bill Hass (Wake Forest). Which North Carolina collegiate will come out ahead at Wyndham? CAMILO VILLEGAS vs. HEATH SLOCUM Neither is a stranger to Playoff wins, but both need a big week to secure a spot in the 2011 Playoffs. At #125 and #121 in FedExCup points, will someone's bubble pop this week? ANGEL CABRERA vs. RETIEF GOOSEN In this friendly game of duck-duck-goose between '09 Masters Winner Angel "El Pato" Cabrera and '09 Transitions Championship victor Retief Goosen, who will end up in the boiling pot?
