STAFF PICKS
NCG's writers recommend players to pick in each of the pools.

Pool A
Who? Martin Kaymer (ET)
Why? He had a shocker last week but everyone expected that. He'll bounce back and finish in the top 10 at the very least.

Pool B
Who? Martin Laird (PGA)
Why? The Scot had a dream debut at Augusta and was in one of the last groups out on Sunday. He's massive off the tee and a solid putter. He also knows how to win.

Pool C
Who? Seung-yul Noh (ET)
Why? He's the defending champion and will be full of confidence around the course.

Pool D
Who? Rhys Davies (ET)
Why? Came close in Morocco and is arguably the best putter on tour so will have plenty of chances.

Pool E
Who? Adam Scott (PGA)
Why? Even though Masters champ Charl Schwartzel is entered this week, chances are he won't play so your next best bet is Australian Adam Scott, who has a revitalised game after switching to a broomhandle putter.

Well that is half the selections sorted - they are as adventurous as KDUB ;0)

"Dear Fantasy Golf manager,

As the fields at this week's events - the Malaysian Open and the Texas Open - are not the strongest, we have added a group of new players to our database for you to choose from.

Among them are 2009 Open champion Stewart Cink and the European Tour's latest winner, David Horsey, who captured the Trophée Hassan II just over a week ago."

Have they not looked at the start lists

Cink & Horsey are now playing.

STAFF PICKS
NCG's writers recommend players to pick in each of the pools.

Pool A
Who? Luke Donald (PGA)
Why? Arguably the most consistent player in the world right now and up there with the very best putters. Impossible to rule him out anywhere.

Pool B
Who? David Horsey (EUR)
Why? Quite left-field with the defending champion in the same pool, but won in Morocco last month and is in top form.

Pool C
Who? Brandt Snedeker (PGA)
Why? Had a strong finish last week (4th) and is known as one of the best putters on tour. Expect another high finish.

Pool D
Who? Sergio Garcia (EUR)
Why? He's showing signs of his old self and the field is not as strong as the ones he usually faces. Has a great chance.

Pool E
Who? Liang Wen-Chong (EUR)
Why? Is on home turf and finished in the top 20 last year. Has as good a chance as anyone in this pool of taking home the title.

Again, they're up to their usual tricks...there's at least one player missing (a certain second favourite for the Volvo China Open in Pool C) from this week's list!
