Dan Geraghty is taking two handy Masters performers and a Ryder Cup star for his trio to back at this week's big PGA Tour event.

Last week's selections: Well, Phil Mickelson gave us a run for our money, but after an incredible final round, a few short missed putts meant he missed out by three shots. Anthony Kim had a good first Masters, which remarkably included him breaking the record for the number of birdies in one round at Augusta (11). In the end numerous bogeys on the final day stopped him getting competitive and the less said about Ernie Els Masters the better.

Onto this week and Camilo Villegas has to be the headline tip. He finished tied seventh here last year, carding six birdies in his first eight holes during the final round and at last week's Masters Camilo caught the eye finishing strongly with three birdies and one eagle in his last six holes to tie for 13th. He's had a good start to the year without winning and his game looks in great shape. Big names have dominated at the finish here in recent history, Villegas can keep that trend going.

Aaron Baddeley has excellent course form at the Harbour Town Golf Links, he won in 2006, finished tenth in 2007 and was runner-up last year. Despite some disappointing recent form figures, I've noticed his game picking up over the last few weeks and he was a good 17th at last week's Masters which must give him some confidence coming back to Hilton Head Island where he has performed so well.

Boo Weekley does not have good recent form figures on the PGA Tour but he missed the cut at the tournament before he won this in 2007 and had a couple of missed cuts to his name in 2008 before he won here again. I think [36.0] is too big a price for a man that has won this tournament the only two times he has taken part and I'm confident he'll trade shorter and won't be giving up his title easily.

Selections: Camilo Villegas ([18.0]), Aaron Baddeley ([28.0]), Boo Weekley ([36.0])
