Michael Bradley to defend Puerto Rico Open title on parallel PGA TOUR event

While 68 of the world’s best players tee up at the WGC- CA Championship in a no-cut event at Doral, 132 guys gather at Trump International GC in Rio Grande, in beautiful Puerto Rico.

Defending champion Michael Bradley finished T60 in greens in regulations last year, but a hot putter earned him the Puerto Rico Open title. 60-year-old Tom Kite, who designed Trump International golf course in 2004, will make a rare start with the youngsters this week. He last played in a PGA Tour event here in 2008.

With the top guns at Doral, it’s not easy to pick a winner at the Puerto Rico Open.

The 7,500-plus yards, par 72 course, is one of the longest on Tour and was ranked 31st in difficulty in 2009 (out of 51), that means you’ve got to make a lot of birdies to win. Rookie Alex Prugh has already racked up three top-10s this season, he’s 15th in total driving and he could clinch his first win in Rio Grande.

Rory Sabbatini is the highest ranked player in the FedExCup standings in the field this week, he will look to found back the form that gave him a runner-up finish at the season-opening SBS Championship. The 5-time PGA Tour winner should be in contention on the weekend.

Jeev M. Singh, now a PGA Tour member, finished fourth at the CA Championship last year. He’s got a chance to do well in a lesser field.

Bryce Molder is playing good golf, he tied for 10th at Pebble Beach and finished T8 at TPC Scottsdale. He’s averaging more than four birdies a round in his last 12 rounds, a very good stat at Trump International GC.

Kevin Stadler has two top-10s and three top-25s in five events, he just needs a few more birdies here and there to win a title. He also finished T44 and T4 the last two years in Puerto Rico, showing the course suits his game.

That’s some of the players who could make some noise at the Puerto Rico Open, I’m sure you have your own favorites.
