Webb is doing well but im still sticking with scott piercy, hes been the best rookie so far this season, i cant believe he did not even place in the top 5 after being solo leader after 10 holes sunday, i had a bet on him each way to win, i could have won about £480 but ah well, least he is doing well! he will finish the season the highest placed rookie on the money list im sure!

I'll have to reserve judgement on Piercy - not familiar with him yet.

Gary Woodland impressed me a couple of weeks ago as another one to put on the watchlist.

Is it too late to add Kevin Chappell to the list? I didn't realize he had turned pro until I saw his name on the leaderboard today. Shows how carefully I read my own school newspaper's sports page!

I saw his name on the leaderboard and wondered how it would work if an amateur got a sponsor exemption onto Pebble Beach. Then I did a quick Google search and found out that he had turned pro last summer, but has only cashed one paycheck on the Nationwide Tour since then.

+1 on Webb Simpson.

I'm hoping for a breakthrough for his fellow college alumni (Wake Forest) Bill Haas as well. He has the skill. I just think he needs a confidence boost.

Fairways and Greens.

With a tie for 5th at this weeks honda classic, scott piercy is proving why he is still the best rookie so far this year, i have to disagree with most of you guys but in my eyes webb simpson isnt even close, he did ok in 1 tournament and that was it, scott piercy is the best rookie so far!
