Power Rankings Tigers Back at Torrey

Here are GolfChannel.com’s Power Rankings, the top 10 favorites for the Farmers Insurance Open:

2011 Power Rankings: Week 4
	RANK	NAME	COMMENTS
	1	Tiger Woods	Woods makes his 2011 debut on a course where he’s won seven times, including a U.S. Open. He’s more dominant here than anywhere.
	2	Ben Crane	As Bill Haas showed last week at the Bob Hope Classic, the defending champion of an event always has to be considered a factor.
	3	Phil Mickelson	Mickelson has won this event three times, but not since 2001. The San Diego native is arriving from Abu Dhabi, where he finished a pedestrian T-37.
	4	Nick Watney	Watney won this event in 2009 and has two other top-10 finishes. This will be his first start of the season.
	5	Rickie Fowler	Fowler tied for fifth in his Farmers Insurance debut last year. Expect him to be a prominent figure on the weekly Power Rankings this year.
	6	Charles Howell	A two-time runner-up at Torrey Pines, Howell is coming off a T-13 at the Hope.
	7	Bill Haas	Nearly became the second player ever to successfully defend his title at the Bob Hope. The kid is reaching his potential.
	8	Dustin Johnson	Johnson is getting primed for Pebble Beach, where he will vie for his third consecutive victory. He hasn’t had much luck at this event, but he’s never been this good.
	9	Robert Allenby	Allenby has been Mr. Steady over the last few years, but Mr. Winless as well. He has a couple of T-9s at Torrey Pines in his career.
	10	Bubba Watson	Watson tied for fourth in ’07 and tied for seventh in ’09. Another odd year could mean another positive result.
