Three Against The Field / Dan Geraghty / 24 June 2009 / Leave a comment

Dan Geraghty selects another trio to have on your side on the big PGA Tour event...

Well, after last week's prolonged US Open I'm barely ready for this week's tournament so I'm not sure how some of the players will be feeling. My three for Bethpage all made the 62 man cut and Bubba Watson put up the best fight, only to fade away during Sunday's back nine.

Watching last week's US Open from the sidelines will surely have hurt Kevin Na. He's sitting 19th in the Fedex cup rankings and has certainly played well enough this year to feel he deserved a place in last week's field. He finished in the top ten here in 2007 and is in the very first three-ball out on the course this week. He's well rested and getting a first win under his belt here would be a great step to securing his place in next year's US Open.

My next two selections both played well at the US Open and have good tournament form here at the Travelers Championship.

Bubba Watson finished sixth last year in only his second appearance in this tournament. Bubba has limited his appearances this year so he should be relatively fresh for a busy summer and last week showed he's in fine form. Like Na, Watson is looking for his first win on tour and everything points towards a good week here.

Ryan Moore putted fantastically last week and again showed he can compete at the highest level. He's yet another looking for a breakthrough victory on tour and has a number of second place finishes to his name, including on his first visit here in 2006. Moore's had a disappointing time of it lately, before the US Open he had missed his last three cuts. Here's hoping his top ten at Bethpage Black kickstarts a run of form.

Selections: Kevin Na ([55.0]), Bubba Watson ([46.0]), Ryan Moore ([95.0])
