Golf » Five to watch

Vijay Singh

You think Vijay likes Bay Hill? How about this for a resume — T2 (2005), 7 (2006), 1 (2007), T3 (2008). Course favors long hitters. Vijay qualifies there. Perfect place to jumpstart his campaign coming off knee surgery.

Retief Goosen

Twenty fewer pounds, a new fitness regimen and the return of his syrupy putting stroke has the two-time U.S. Open winner back in the top 25. Win last week at the Transitions was his first in U.S. since 2005.

Davis Love III

After playing in 70 straight majors, Love’s streak ended last year when he failed to qualify for the Masters. But the 44-year-old can get back to Augusta with a top-50 rank. Currently No. 47. Has never won at Bay Hill.

Rocco Mediate

Made cut in his first five starts. Played Bay Hill 21 times, finishing second in 1993 and 2007. Would love to win this tourney. Hometown Greensburg, Pa., is 10 miles from host Arnold Palmer’s hometown of Latrobe.

Brett Quigley

Has finished second the last two weeks. Has earned more than $9.9 million in his PGA Tour career, yet has never won in 342 starts. Finally ready for breakthrough at age 39 and in his 13th full season on tour?
