Bolton writes the following about Furyk: "Shared both the 36- and 54-hole leads at Olympic Club two weeks ago en route to a tie for fourth place. Seven top 15s in his last nine starts. Three top 10s in as many starts at Congressional in this event. Ranks 22nd on TOUR in greens hit."
Bolton writes the following about Woods: "The tournament host is 'defending' his 2009 title given Congressional hasn't hosted since. Prefaced a T21 at Olympic Club with a victory at the Memorial, his second of the season. Ranks second on TOUR in both greens hit and the all-around."
