Had a feeling about Fredrik Jacobson but just didn\u2019t think his trends showed a win on the horizon. His victory at the Travelers supports the theory that peripheral stats are more important than results. ![\"\"](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/att-national-e1309288447325.png\" "\\"att-national\\"")

\nFedEX Cup Points Up For Grabs: 500<\/strong><\/p>\nThe AT&T National at Aronimink Golf club is one tough tournament as far as non-majors go. Aronimink played as the second-hardest of 14 par-70s on Tour last season. <\/p>\n
Bogey avoidance, the ability to hit greens, putting and scrambling are all important stats to look at this week.<\/p>\n
THE ELITE<\/h3>\n
Nick Watney <\/strong>
\nAT&T National odds: +1200<\/p>\nWe know the drill with Watney at this point. He\u2019s had the odd hiccup but he\u2019s been among the best players on Tour all season long. He\u2019s 13th<\/sup> on Tour in greens hit, fifth in bogey avoidance, and could seize a golden opportunity against a weak field this week.<\/p>\nTHE CONTENDERS<\/h3>\n
Bo Van Pelt<\/strong>
\nAT&T National odds: +2000<\/p>\nVan Pelt is an accurate player, 23rd<\/sup> on Tour in greens hit, and carries momentum into the AT&T National. He tied with Watney for 13th<\/sup> at the Travelers last week and has four straight top-15s overall. As usual, he\u2019s an underwhelming but reasonable pick.<\/p>\nRyan Moore<\/strong>
\nAT&T National odds: +2000<\/p>\nIf you want the hot hand plus <\/em>the guy with solid history at Aronimink, Ryan Moore is your man. He finished second there last year, also ranking second in the field in putting. Moore also sizzled at the Travelers, shooting three of four rounds at 64 or lower, including his 63 on Sunday that helped him finish second. If he can keep the momentum going, he could win big this week.<\/p>\nHunter Mahan<\/strong>
\nAT&T National odds: +2000<\/p>\nMahan hasn\u2019t flirted with a win for more than a month but his accurate ball-striking makes him someone to consider. He\u2019s fourth on Tour in greens in regulation and a respectable 41st<\/sup> in putting. If anything holds Mahan back this week, it will be his often-spotty scrambling.<\/p>\nSOLID PICKS<\/h3>\n
Webb Simpson<\/strong>
\nAT&T National odds: +2500<\/p>\nThe peripheral stats seem to point Simpson\u2019s way this week. He led the Travelers Championship field in putting en route to a T13 finish. He\u2019s 21st<\/sup> on Tour in greens and ninth in the important bogey-avoidance stat. Simpson has also been one of the Tour\u2019s most consistent players of late, posting seven top-25s in his last eight tries.
Jacobson\u2019s putter suited him well to the tournament even if he hadn\u2019t been topping leaderboards left and right prior to last weekend.<\/p>\n
