THIS WEEK'S MAINEVENT

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKEOPEN

Someone Old?Someone New?

For the last fiveyears the Tour's Vegas stop has been won by a rookie without a previousvictory, so going by the money list, this week's favorites would be MarcLeishman (47th), Webb Simpson (70th), Jeff Klauk (82nd) and Scott Piercy(86th). Of course last week's action might inspire a former Presidents Cupper.Those include Stuart Appleby, Woody Austin, Davis Love III and David Toms, whohas rebounded to 14th in earnings after dropping to 131st last year.
