NOTES

PGA: U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson is in the field. ... Masters champion Bubba Watson won the 2010 tournament for his first PGA Tour title, overcoming a six-stroke deficit and beating Scott Verplank on the second hole of playoff. Watson missed the cut last week at Olympic with rounds of 78 and 71. ... Kenny Perry won in 2009, shooting 61-68-66-63 for a tournament-record 258 total.

LPGA: Michelle Wie is trying to break out of a season-long slump. The recent Stanford graduate, the 2010 Canadian Women's Open winner in Manitoba, has failed to advance to weekend play in all five events she has played that had a cut and lost in the first round of the Sybase Match Play.

Champions: The tournament is in its first year at Vallee du Richelieu after two years at Fontainebleu. ... Michael Allen leads the tour with two victories and earnings of $1,071,282.
