The Fantasy Insider: RBC Canadian Open
Canada is one of the friendliest countries you’ll ever visit, but the players might not be smiling this week when they hit the course — Glen Abbey is a track with teeth. The RBC Canadian Open last came here in 2004, and only three tournaments that year produced a higher scoring average. I love seeing a hearty challenge on the course, so this set-up will have me engaged for four days. Stick with me and let’s pick some winners in the Great White North.

One putt could have changed plenty for Harrington (AP)
Padraig Harrington has two British Open titles, and it all started with a miss. But it wasn’t his. The morning after he defended his title at Royal Birkdale, the Irishman already was looking ahead.

Sleeper picks: RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey GC
Editor’s note: PGATOUR.com has tried to make our experts work a little harder when they make their picks each week. The favorite can be anyone in the field, although Tiger Woods can only be used seven times during the year. Sleepers can’t have won in 2008 or had a top-10 in their last five starts. A sleeper can’t be ranked in the top 30 in the field, either.
