Siding with three Clemson players, which, even though Clemson is in South rather
than North Carolina, "feels like home, ... it feels like South Carolina", in the
words of Jonathan Byrd. Plus, they can count on a good contingent of support not
only from Clemson, but due to being born in South Carolina and, for Glover and
Warren, living just 160 miles down Route 85 in Greenville. They have all used
that local factor to good effect in previous years and in Glover's case, it has
meant an improvement in each of his three previous visits, culminating in a 6th
place finish last year. In a good run of form that has yielded four top-15
finishes in his last five events in the U.S., a further improvement in his
finishing position may well be achieved this week.

While Glover may be consistent, Byrd does have the distinction of having won an
event in the past month: the John Deere Classic. Allied to a strong course
history - two top-5 finishes in five years - and an extra weekend of preparation
for this event after his missed the cut in last week's PGA Championship, Byrd
should be another who finishes high up the leaderboard this week.

Apart from the local connections, Warren can boast being the joint course record
holder (62) when finishing 3rd in 2005 and finished 2nd last time out in the
Reno-Tahoe Open two weeks ago. Well-rested from not playing last week, he is the
third member of this group who has already qualified for the FedEx Cup playoffs
and has his Tour Card secured for next year, so is purely playing because this
is a local event and that can be an important motivational factor at this stage
of the season.
