Tee times have been posted for the
first round of this week's Reno-Tahoe Open,
which gets going on Thursday at Montreux Golf & Country Club in
Reno, Nev. Here's a look at some notable groups.
Stewart Cink/Brian Gay/Padraig Harrington: This
trio has a mixed bag of results of late. Cink has missed three of
his past four cuts; Gay is coming off a final-round 66 in Canada
that gave him a T28; Harrington, meanwhile, has been hot. He's
cashed a check in his previous five events, carding top 15s in the
first four tournaments during that stretch.
J.B. Holmes/John Daly/Craig Barlow: Two big
hitters and a home-state favorite. Holmes (309.5 yards) and Daly
(303.5 yards) both rank in the top 15 on TOUR in driving distance.
Barlow, who grew up and lives in Henderson, Nev., is making his
sixth start of 2012. Barlow had a T25 here last season and had a T5
in 2010.
Rocco Mediate/Camilo Villegas/Justin Leonard: This
group of players has all experienced an up-and-down season. Mediate
is coming off a T42 in his last event at the True South Classic.
Villegas was in the mix in Canada after a second-round 64 but faded
on the weekend. Leonard has only one top 10 on the year. This will
be a big week for Mediate, Villegas and Leonard as far as
positioning for a possible spot in the FedExCup Playoffs.
