Sean O'Hair
News: After a shaky start, O’Hair has played much more consistently lately, making the cut in five of his last six events.

Analysis: O’Hair is the defending champion at the John Deere Classic, and he enters this week playing his best golf of the season. He should make the cut, but a successful title defense will be tough.

Joe Ogilvie
News: Ogilvie followed his first top-10 finish of the season with a tie for 42nd at last week’s Cialis Western Open.

Analysis: Ogilvie has made the cut four times in five starts at the John Deere Classic, but his best finish was a tie for 16th in 1999.

John Senden
News: Senden has made the cut in his last five starts and finished in the top 20 twice.

Analysis: In four consecutive starts at the John Deere Classic, Senden has made the cut three times. He enters this year’s event ranked second in greens in regulation and should be able to post a finish in the top 25.

Steve Stricker
News: Making the cut in each of his last six starts, Stricker has also recorded three top-10 finishes.

Analysis: In six starts at the John Deere Classic, Stricker has recorded two top-10 finishes. Stricker is seventh on TOUR in putting average and is first in sand save percentage; he could post another top-10 this week.

Bubba Watson
News: Since starting the year strong Watson has hit a bit of a rough stretch, missing the cut in five of his last six starts.

Analysis: Watson is still leading the TOUR in driving distance, but his putting is causing him some problems. Watson currently ranks 167th in putting average and is 166th in putts per round.

Dean Wilson
News: Wilson has missed the cut in three of his last four starts.

Analysis: Wilson is tied for 22nd in putts per round and is tied for 20th in first round scoring average. He has made the cut twice in three starts at the John Deere Classic, but has never finished higher than tied for 66th at the event.

Shigeki Maruyama
News: Maruyama has two missed cuts and two top-15 finishes in his last four starts.

Analysis: Maruyama finished tied for seventh at last year’s John Deere Classic and enters this year’s event ranked 18th in putts per round and tied for 12th in final round scoring average.

Paul Azinger
News: Azinger has made the cut in 11 of his 14 starts in 2006, but has only recorded one top-10 finish.

Analysis: Azinger has made the cut five times in six starts at the John Deere Classic, but his missed cut was at his last start in the event in 2004.

Ben Crane
News: Crane has made 12 cuts in 14 starts in 2006, and tied for sixth in his last start.

Analysis: Crane is once again one of the best putters on TOUR, ranking 21st in putting average, 12th in putts per round and 25th in one-putt percentage. Look for him to be in contention on the weekend.

Robert Damron
News: Damron has missed the cut in 13 of 19 starts in 2006, but he has made it to the weekend in his last three starts.

Analysis: Damron finished tied for second at last year’s John Deere Classic. In seven starts at the John Deere, Damron has made the cut five times and recorded two finishes in the top-10. notas_de_prensa_archivo
