1. Bubba Watson: Took a five-week break between the Players Championship and the U.S. Open, so he is well-rested. Has four top-six finishes at River Highlands, including his first tour win in 2010.

2. Angel Cabrera: Tied for ninth and 11th place the last two years. If he can put four good rounds together, Cabrera will easily have his best performance of the year.

3. Brandt Snedeker: Three straight top-10 finishes and already won this year at Pebble Beach. Final-round 64 last year vaulted him into a tie for 11th place.
