Sergio Garcia, Jay Williamson, Lucas Glover
Tee time:
9 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 8
Why you should watch: Sergio Garcia has been playing outstanding golf lately. Jay Williamson is playing in front of the home crowd. And Lucas Glover -- well, he's looking for a good finish after a tough couple of months. All three players start the second round at 2 under, trailing leader Camilo Villegas by three. And, they had better get used to their company. As soon as the trio finishes their second round, they will head right back to the tee to start the third round. Look for all three to thrive on the crowds, which will be giving the home support to Williamson.

Anthony Kim, Phil Mickelson, J.B. Holmes
Tee time:
9:10 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 38
Why you should watch: Talk about a Ryder Cup warm up. Kim, Mickelson and Holmes will all be U.S. Ryder Cup teammates. What better way to get acquainted than in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup pressure-cooker. All three players were 2 under in their first rounds, respectively, and will begin Saturday trailing Camilo Villehas by three. The beauty of this group is that all three players are capable of making birdies in bunches. That's what makes them all so fun to watch. Now we get that times three in one threesome.

camilo.split.jpg

Camilo Villegas, Steve Stricker, Kenny Perry
Tee time:
9:50 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 16
Why you should watch: Camilo Villegas will start Saturday's play with the lead. But, he's just one shot clear of Steve Stricker and Kenny Perry. Those are two players where a one-shot lead isn't enough. Plenty of birdies will be made in this group. You've got the dynamic Villegas who's still looking for that maiden TOUR win, playing alongside two accomplished veterans, who by the way, will also be Ryder Cup teammates for the U.S. in a couple of weeks. There will be plenty of excitement.

2008 Stat Comparison
Player Events Played Cuts Made 1st 2nd 3rd Top 10 Top 25 Scoring Avg.
Villegas 20 17 -- -- 2 5 8 70.99
Stricker 20 14 -- 1 -- 5 11 70.92
Perry 24 22 3 1 1 7 12 70.11
