Justin Leonard could well contend. Or miss the cut. Same for Ernie.
David Duval could well make a run, but one would be incredibly surprised if he missed the cut.
In any event, who are the most interesting figures coming in not named Tiger?

We could go on with others players. And its never terribly dull musing over potential longshots and challengers. But until one not named Tiger proves he can carry the day, we dont hold out much hope that all of this discussion is but idle talk or printed words filling space.
