PGA-Expert Picks: Deutsche Bank
Each week of the season, our experts share their thoughts on which players fit the criteria for the following categories: Horse for the Course (a golfer who knows the field like the back of his hand), Birdie Buster (a player who could register a score low this week), Super Sleeper (someone who could get unexpectedly in the fight) and the potential winner.
The tournament this week: Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts .
Horse for the Course
Michael Collins, senior analyst for ESPN.com golf: Jason Day
could be the golfer to spend this year's playoffs starting outside the top 100 (113) in the standings to the FedEx Cup Championship Tour (top 30) . In the playoffs, he played only 13 tournaments on the tour, with three missed cuts and a withdrawal, but a strong finish on Sunday (65) served to classify the Deutsche Bank and takes him to a field in which he finished third last year, and was one of only four players to shoot four rounds in the 60s.

TPC Boston is another place where Woods has been successful in recent years. In seven appearances, has been out of the top 11 only once, and won in 2006.

Looking solidify a spot on the U.S. team in the Ryder Cup as a possible selection of the captain, the man who leads the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting achieved with a pair of top 5 in his last two starts at the Deutsche Bank Championship. What Ryder Cup captain does not want the best tournament putter on your computer?

Birdie Buster
Michael Collins: Nick Watney
had two victories in 2011, but before winning last week at The Barclays, had only three top-10s this year with an eighth place as their best result. It is the year that the pupil of Butch Harmon thought for him, but must be taken into account when lit. Although this will be his fifth straight week in court, when you're shooting ... Be sure to roll! And if Bill Haas won the grand prize of the Fed Ex Cup last year, would be appropriate for his double, Watney, put yourself in a position to take the money this year.

Kevin Maguire: Steve Stricker
A tie for 54th at The Barclays last week probably is not the way in which Stricker wanted to start their playoffs, but the likely choice of Ryder Cup captain has a pair of wins in the playoffs FedEx Cup career. He seems to enjoy playing at this time of year, so expect that to continue this week at TPC Boston.

Super Sleeper
Michael Collins: JB Holmes
After seven consecutive cuts, is almost a blessing in disguise that pass the cut at the Wyndham Championship. Holmes has been placed in position to reach the Tour Championship with a good week, and the last time we played in this field, in 2010, finished in the top 10. It is a field for bombers and he still is.

of Australia's 24 years old, got a tie for third in Boston last year. In a disappointing 2012 season, Day enters this week at the 88th in the standings. I'd love to return to the Tour Championship, where he finished tied for sixth last year.

missed the cut at the Wyndham Championship and the Barclays last week, falling 12 places to 100th position, the last qualifying spot to end the Deutsche Bank Championship. Obviously you need to get your game to work if you want to prolong their playoffs.

Kevin Maguire: Dicky Pride
Speaking of playing with house money. Proud to have sealed his card for 2013 force behind the final three in the Top 10 this year. I had not had one since mid-2009. And as 96th in the standings of the FedEx Cup, a strong week it would get into the third stage of the PGA Tour playoffs, a place they probably could not have imagined at the start of the season.

Michael Collins: Rory McIlroy
Because he was not a member of the circuit last year, was not eligible for the playoffs. Competed in 2010, with a 37th place at TPC Boston. He has two years of experience and two majors to his credit, and I expect a very good week in a field that is well suited to your style of golf. With an average score of 69.02 in the tournament, if one keeps his average will be easy a top 10. I expect a lot more than that this week.

Farrell Evans: Brandt Snedeker champion Former U.S. Amateur Public Links finished second in the Barclays. He's playing this week in Boston with the hope that a big tournament will get a place on the U.S. team in the Ryder Cup last year, the former Vanderbilt star finished tied for third at the Deutsche Bank.
Bob Harig: Adam Scott nearly Saving his victory at the Open Championship, has been a quiet year for the Australian, who won his first tournament of the PGA Tour for nine years at the TPC Boston. A win this week puts him in the top positions and in the race for the FedEx Cup
Kevin Maguire: Jason Day
Never underestimate motivation. The Australian, who finished tied for third and second in his last two tournaments at TPC Boston, is currently out of qualifying for the BMW Championship next week.Without a good ending, their playoffs could end on Saturday. Do not expect the new Pope get some extra time off on the weekend.
