A perfect way for fantasy golfers to check on the past performance of all the players in the Canadian Open are these performance charts, one with the players listed alphabetically and the other with the players listed by average finish.
One last way to check who is the best is through a special formula worked out in Golfstats that gives us the best average performances at the Canadian Open in the last five years.
Time to look at our who's hot and who isn't:
Sorry, because of traveling back from the British Open, didn't have Milwaukee results to do this. We will update this on Thursday morning.
Who to Watch for at the Canadian Open:
Best Bets:

Can you think of any better of a story, a Canadian winning again and it being Weir. Playing great right now, he really needs to do something to get himself on the Presidents Cup team which will be played in Canada.
| Jim Furyk | ||||||||||

Again we have said this before and will say it again, he is ready for a win, comes to a course that he can do well on. Look for a good week from him if he can get the putter rolling

Best of the rest:
| Justin Leonard | ||||||||||

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| - | - | T66 | - | T2 | T55 | T26 | T3 | - | T6 | T64 |
A player to watch, he is in the mist of regain his lost forum, his game has been sharp even though he missed the cut at the British Open. Played well in 2002 losing playoff to John Rollins.
| Steve Flesch | ||||||||||
| 2006 | '05 | '04 | '03 | '02 | '01 | '00 | '99 | '98 | '97 | '96 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Another of those players looking to regain his forum, he also played well at Angus in 2002.
| Pat Perez | ||||||||||

| Cut | T65 | T14 | T14 | T32 | T12 | - | - | - | - | - |
Solid pick this week, has played well at Angus and showing signs of an improved game.
Longshot's that could come through:
| Stephen Ames | ||||||||||
| 2006 | '05 | '04 | '03 | '02 | '01 | '00 | '99 | '98 | '97 | '96 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WD | T7 | Cut | T23 | Cut | Cut | T32 | Cut | T13 | T5 | T55 |
Very good sources say his game is ready to go needs a good finish to help his President Cup chances.
| Bubba Watson | ||||||||||
| 2006 | '05 | '04 | '03 | '02 | '01 | '00 | '99 | '98 | '97 | '96 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Big question will be if his long ball will work at Angus Glen. It worked last year and has worked on other similar courses.
