This weekend's scramble lacks star power

If you were looking for a weekend to work on the honey-do list instead of watching golf, it has arrived. The Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C., begins today as spackle in the PGA Tour's bigger picture.

But just as spackle fills voids before any paint job can be completed, the Wyndham Championship is the last chance for players on the bubble to get into the FedEx Cup playoffs. The snooze aspect of this is only one top 20 player in the world is in the field: Anthony Kim.

That doesn't mean there won't be some drama. Especially if you are rooting for Michael Letzing, the man on the bubble in the 125th spot. This event could also hold your attention if you are pulling for Mike Weir (126th in the rankings) or former Masters champion Trevor Immelman (154th). Otherwise, you better enjoy watching every player ranked 111th to 131st jockey for a spot in the big dance.

Tiger Woods, ranked 108th, is not playing, but the odds are slim that he could drop 18 slots in one event. He'll face a tough road if he makes the FedEx Cup field so far back. But he can draw inspiration from Heath Slocum, who came into the Barclays event 124th last year. Slocum won the Barclays and was able to play in all four FedEx Cup playoffs on his way to winning more than $1.5 million in earnings and finishing fifth in the final standings.

But we are getting ahead of ourselves, so let's focus on this weekend and what will unfold at Sedgefield Country Club, a course originally designed by Donald Ross in 1925 and most recently updated in 2007 by Kris Spence.

Even though Spence added 400 yards to Sedgefield, bringing its length to 7,130 yards, ball placement in the fairway will be the key to winning. Players need be in appropriate spots to have good angles to the greens, which are very undulating and slope from back to front. Good iron players will have an edge in avoiding some of the collection areas just off the greens.

Because the par-70 course is short by PGA Tour standards and dry weather has made the rough less of a factor, it wouldn't be surprising to see someone shoot a low score. Sedgefield is a lot like the course that held the Greenbrier Classic three weeks ago and its possible someone will pull off another Appleby.
