With the first round of the Farmers Insurance Open in the books, one thing is apparent: The two courses are not equally difficult. Smart fantasy owners will ensure that they shift all their Friday starters to those golfers playing the North Course, which plays far easier than does the South. Fifteen players shot minus-5 or better on Thursday, and only one of those (Robert Allenby) played the South Course.
Prominent names who'll tee off on the North Course Friday include Phil Mickelson, Luke Donald, Ernie Els, Charles Howell III, Lucas Glover, Stephen Ames, Kevin Johnson, John Daly (if you like playing sentimental favorites), and of course Allenby. Get 'em active!
On the other end, it's time to sit Ben Crane, Ryuji Imada, Boo Weekley, Ricky Barnes, Bubba Watson, and first-round leader Scott Piercy.
