Craig Barlow
This guy's been all over the block in eight appearances at Castle Pines GC, from a tie for seventh in 2002 to five missed cuts. Against that backdrop this season looks fairly solid: 16 starts, two tops 10s (and a tie for 11th last week at the Buick Open), closing in on $1 million and only three missed cuts (none since the EDS Byron Nelson Classic in mid-May). One last thing: He's 34th in par breakers at a place where birdies are mandatory and fourth in eagles.

Chris DiMarco
Thought about Lucas Glover, Scott Verplank, Harrison Frazar and Vaughn Taylor, then settled on the Claw. The guy is prepping to go four rounds with Tiger at Medinah and he needs someplace to loosen up and do a little sparring. Castle Pines works.

Camilo Villegas
He's admittedly making his INTERNATIONAL debut, but Villegas is coming off a solid tie for 11th at the Buick Open last week. Not to mention, he ranks fourth on TOUR in eagles and 15th in total birdies -- which could add up big in this Stableford event.

Tom Pernice, Jr.
The 2001 winner of The INTERNATIONAL is coming off a final-round 64 at the Buick Open, which means he's in the right frame of mind to attack the golf course. Still has a chance to make the Ryder Cup team with a strong finish the next two weeks.

Camilo Villegas
The Stableford scoring used at this event may help the young rookie achieve his first victory on the PGA TOUR. As a rookie, Villegas ranks 10th on TOUR in par breaker percentage, and is 12th in birdie or better conversion percentage, and is 25th in bounce back percentage. Additionally, he ranks 15th in holes played per eagle recorded.

David Duval
Duval has been going LL Cool J - "Don't Call It A Comeback" -- on people this year, what with a top 20 at the U.S. Open and six made cuts in his last eight events. He keeps telling anyone who will listen that he's back and the Denver resident could make it official with a win on his home course.
