The PGA Tour goes international this week to Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club in Malaysia. Be aware that the tournament starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday night on the east coast, due to the time difference. 78 players will be competing in this par 72 course. There are some notable names in the field; Henrik Stenson, Sergio Garcia, Luke Donald, Jason Dufner, Danny Lee, and two-time defending champion, Ryan Moore.

The Lineup
Henrik Stenson ($12,100)
This will be Stenson's first action on Tour this season, since his great playoff run. In the four playoff events, Stenson finished, 2nd, 2nd, T10th, and T2nd. He would have won the Deutsche Bank if not for an errant shot paving the way for Fowler. Stenson is the best player in the field, and if he plays to his potential, he will win.
Tony Finau ($8,500)
Finau is becoming really good. He made noise last year as a rookie rising in popularity and is making more noise now as he was the cover on the latest Golf Digest. Finau has played in both tournaments so far, finishing T32nd with 72.5 points, and T16th scoring 96.5 fantasy points. He is 10th in birdies made so far this season, a trend that will continue. Finau will continue to improve on his finishing positions this week.
Daniel Summerhays ($7,800)
Summerhays finished in the same spots as Finau in the Frys.com Open and Shriners Open. He had made 75% of greens in regulations and is 16th in total birdies.
Jason Dufner ($7,600)
Dufner was cut at the Shriners Open last week, but I expect him to rebound. He played well here last year shooting a 6-under, tied for 26th. Dufner will need his putter to behave this weekend to have a shot at competing.
Matt Jones ($7,300)
Jones caught my attention when he battled with Jason Day at the PGA Championship on Saturday. Jones was cut at the Frys.com Open to kick off the season. His stats aren't good, but he's more of a flier who will be low owned.
Prayad Marksaeng ($6,700)
Marksaeng will be one of the lowest owned players in the field this week, and if he hits, it will vastly help your lineup. Last week at the UBS Hong Kong Open, Marksaeng finished T35th, 3-under. For some odd reason, I think he will play well.
