Fantasy Golf
The Fantasy Golf world has taken note of Michael's recent success as well as his past success at the Traveler's.  In fact, he was the first pick in the Expert Picks competition on PGATour.com meaning he was chosen before any other player in the field.  This is the first time he showed up in this column.

He was also listed #12 on Rob Bolton's Power Rankings column on PGATour.com.  He had previously made Rob's Sleeper Picks column a couple of times but this is the first time he made into the Power Rankings.
