The Crowne Plaza Invitational is one of the most prestigious and historical events of the Tour calendar and considered to be the fifth Major. Zach Johnson is the 2010 Champ and is listed at 22/1 odds to repeat. PGA oddsmakers have Hunter Mahan and Jason Day listed as 18/1 odds favourite to win the 2011 Crowne Plaza Invitational.

Zach Johnson: the defending Crowne Plaza Invitational winner finished strong with a closing 66 at THE PLAYERS. Combined with a solid T6 finish at the Wells Fargo Championship the week before, I think he is about to hit his stride just in time to repeat.
Hunter Mahan: has a less than stellar record at Colonial (no top 25s in seven trips) because of his strong season; the Dallas resident's T6 at THE PLAYERS was his 6th top 10 of the season. Tenth in greens hit, precise iron game will help this week.
Jim Furyk: has never won at Colonial, but he does have two second-place finishes among his six top-10s there. Furyk's looking for that breakout tournament this year — and judging by his record, this might be the place for it to happen.
