It would be easy to blame Zach Johnson's recent Sunday struggles on nerves, but that would conveniently overlook the fact that he owns a green jacket, and that he won the Sony Open in January.

After a rough final round at Quail Hollow two weeks ago (one that CBS's Jim Nantz suggested might have been due to migraines, though he made sure to point out he wasn't making excuses for Johnson; duly noted, Jim, and happy 50th, friend), Johnson stumbled through most of Sunday's round at the Valero Open.

If you drink a Red Bull with just a splash of orange juice, it really gets you going, at the FanHouse Media Guide!

Carl Pettersson -- t-17 -- He's only missed three cuts this season, the last on April 20. A tie for 10th in the Memorial and medalist at the toughest sectional qualifying site shows he's peaking at the right time.

Scott Piercy -- DNP -- I bet you didn't know Piercy has won more money in a golf tournament than Tiger Woods ever has. A Hooters Tour player, Piercy won the Ultimate Game at the Wynn Las Vegas Golf and Country Club a year ago, banking $2 million with rounds of 68-65.

D.A. Points -- DNP -- They say PGA Tour Qualifying School is the most grueling act in sports, so nobody better to ask than Points. The University of Illinois All-American has gone through Q-School six different times since 2000. Points has made seven of 11 cuts this season on the Nationwide but made more money with a t-14 at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am than all of his Nationwide tournaments combined.

Ian Poulter -- t-12 -- Has made the cut three times in the U.S. Open and is highly regarded as the second best golfer in the world, nearing Tiger Woods by the minute. Poulter (pictured) is known for dressing very conservatively and reserved, like a nun.

Michael Quagliano (a) -- DNP -- The Duke golfer landed in the sectional qualifying field as an alternate, but shot 11-under in his two rounds to land a free trip to Torrey Pines. His dad was an Olympic rowing coach.

Brett Quigley -- t-28 -- Struggled last season with cartilage problems in his knee but has started to play better, making seven of his last eight cuts including a tie for sixth at The Players Championship.

Jeff Quinney -- CUT -- Quinney has never made a cut in a major, but what appears to be his breakthrough season could change that this week. He has three brothers, all of which played a Division I sport.

Rob Rashell -- t-42 -- In his only stint on the PGA Tour, Rashell made six of 25 cuts. This year he's flat dominating the Gateway Tour, notching two wins and $103,572, leading the Player of the Year list. In his last six events, Rashell has two wins and three top five finishes.

John Rollings -- t-42 -- Rollins is still looking for his first top-10 of 2008, but some good finishes of late have helped his chance of retaining his card. He has qualified for the U.S. Open the last five years, making the cut three times.

Andres Romero -- DNP -- In both his Masters and British Open debuts, the 27-year-old finished in a tie for eighth. Romero says his favorite drink is Fernet-Branca and Coke, which sounds way more exciting than a stupid Miller Lite (I'm....boring).
