Colonial Country Club / Getty ImagesIt's tournament time! The PGA Tour moves to Fort Worth this week for the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club, the second leg of the Texas two-step through the DFW Metroplex. Here's a tournament primer to get you prepared for the week.

The course: One of the most historic courses on the PGA Tour, Colonial hosts the longest running non-major tournament held at one site. The fact that Ben Hogan was a member here tells you everything you need to know about the layout: It's built for solid ball-strikers. At only 7,204 yards, there aren't many holes on the course that require driver off the tee. With only two par-5s, Colonial puts premium on scoring by hitting as many fairways and greens as possible. There's a reason why some of the shorter hitters on tour (Zach Johnson, David Toms, Steve Stricker) have thrived here in the past. Like Harbour Town Golf Links (site of the Heritage), being dialed in with your short irons is critical at Colonial. With tress lining a majority of the holes, getting aggressive is the wrong play. The course has undergone some changes in the last year to toughen up the layout, including adding some well-positioned fairway bunkers to deter golfers from pulling driver and cutting off the dogleg. While they may come in handy during the tournament week, they frustrated Phil Mickelson to the point that the two-time winner pulled out of the tournament and hinted that he might not return in the future. If there's one hole to watch at Colonial, it's par-4 fifth hole. At 481 yards, it requires the most precise drive of the day. Anything left finds a ditch and trees running along the hole; the right side has the Trinity River to contend with. Even a deep poke could leave a long approach to a tricky green. The course ranked as the 22nd-most difficult on tour last year with a stroke average of +0.082 over par.

The schedule: The tournament runs Thursday-Sunday. It'll be broadcast on the Golf Channel from 3 to 6 p.m. ET on Thursday and Friday; and on CBS from 3 to 6 p.m. ET on Saturday and Sunday.

The field: Matt Kuchar (No. 5) and Hunter Mahan (6) are the only members of the Official World Golf Ranking top-10 in the field this week. But that doesn't mean the tournament is lacking big names. Rickier Fowler, David Toms (defending champion), Zach Johnson, Jason Dufner, Ryo Ishikawa, Louis Oosthuizen and Geoff Ogilvy are also teeing it up at Colonial.

Rory McIlroy's getting a bobblehead. — San Francisco GiantsRory McIlroy may not be a fan of the San Francisco Giants (or baseball for that matter), but the Bay Area team plans to immortalize the 23-year-old in bobblehead form anyway during a game against the Astros later this year.

If you're wondering why the Giants are even giving McIlroy some bobblehead love in the first place, the game happens to take place the same week as the U.S. Open at Olympic Club in San Francisco, so the marketing gimmick makes sense.

No word yet if he's going to show up for Irish Heritage Night or throw out the first pitch, but as defending U.S. Open champ, I don't think anyone would blame him if he passed on the game.

Even if he does decide to pass, I'd ask the Giants for a couple of those bobbleheads. Unlike some of the awful ones out there on the market, this one looks pretty darn good. Well done, Giants! Now if you could just learn how to correctly spell the name of your hometown. (See the opener of the advertisement.)

Jason Dufner, loving life. (Getty Images)Welcome to the new season of Teeing Off, where Devil Ball editor Jay Busbee and head writer Jonathan Wall take a day's topic and smack it all over the course. Suggest a future topic by writing jay.busbee@yahoo.com, or hit us on Twitter at @jaybusbee and @jonathanrwall. Today, we consider whether the first win is the toughest.

Busbee: So Jason Dufner wins for the second time in three weeks! Bravo, Mr. Dufner. Now, that brings up the old question: is the first win the toughest? For some cats, it absolutely is. For me, I won my first Tour event at age 14. (You're not going to find me in the record books. I was scrubbed from the official record.) But SERIOUSLY, let's kick this around. What do you think makes it easier to get that second win after the first?

Wall: So you won a tournament at 14, huh? I may have to do some digging to find the lost photos of a young Mr. Busbee in his Jack Nicklaus getup, hoisting a trophy over his head. Getting back on track, I think the easy answer is that the pressure to win your first is no longer there. Sure, you're going to feel the butterflies down the stretch, but you now have a newfound confidence that when you get in the same situation again, you can close things out. The first win is definitely the toughest, and as we've seen from Jason Dufner over the last 22 days, it does get a heck of a lot easier the next time around.

Some fine shots from the weekend's play, spotlit by Nick Flanagan's amazing bank shot off the hospitality tent. Why was that No. 5, huh? But plenty more from friends like Jason Dufner and Phil Mickelson. Enjoy.

Nick Flanagan: Oversized check collector. — Twitter @4FlanaganNick Flanagan had one heck of a Sunday at the Nationwide Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am. After making birdie on the final hole of the tournament by bouncing his ball off the grandstand behind the green to within 15 feet of the cup (you can check out the highlights here), the Aussie went on to secure the tournament in a three-hole playoff over Cameron Percy for his first win since 2007.

Needless to say, it was a big day for Mr. Flanagan. He not only pocketed a cool $108,000, but also walked away with another sweet parting gift: the oversized check. Yep, just like "Happy Gilmore," Nick Flanagan appears to be an oversized check collector.

After his round, he tweeted the above photo from his car with the following message:

Feel like happy Gilmore driving home. Thank you everyone for the support. Effing legends! Yewwwwww! twitter.com/4flanagan/stat…

I always wondered what happened to those oversized checks. I guess we now have our answer. The only question that remains is if those things can be deposited at the bank. I'd sure like to see Nick Flanagan attempt to put that thing in his account.

Jason Dufner / Getty ImagesLet's be honest, we're all incredibly busy. Nobody has time to sit down and watch four rounds of golf coverage -- unless, of course, you watch TV for a living, and if that's the case, please email us your number. So in an effort to condense the tournament coverage for you into a few quick hits, here are five things we learned from the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

Jason Dufner the real deal? It sure looks that way — Remember when we all questioned when, if ever, Jason Dufner was going to win a PGA Tour tournament? Yeah, we can all look back on those days and laugh now. After his win at the Nelson, Dufner now has two wins in a 22-day span. Not only that, he's positioned himself as a major force on tour by making some big-game putts, something that seemed to elude him over the last couple of years. After the choke job at the PGA Championship, he's looking more and more like the real deal following another impressive win. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go work on my waggle.

J.J. Henry misses out on a golden opportunity to resurrect his career — Winning on the PGA Tour is usually a blessing. But in J.J. Henry's case, it's been nothing but a curse. After winning the Buick Championship and making the Ryder Cup team in 2006, Henry's career went into a tailspin. He hasn't finished higher than 76th in the FedEx Cup standing, and through the early part of this season appeared to hit rock bottom when he missed five consecutive cuts. While you should never put a lot of weight into one tournament, Henry had a chance this week to turn his career around, and through 70 holes he had a legitimate chance, until a three-putt double-bogey on the 17th hole took him from a one-shot lead to a one-shot deficit. Henry can console himself with his $312,000 third-place check (the most he's made in one week since the 2010 Turning Stone Championship), but he has to feel like he let a perfect opportunity get away from him this week.

Dicky Pride comes within a single shot of a fairytale ending — Dicky Pride was thisclose from producing one of the greatest storylines of the season. The 42-year-old, who hasn't played full time on the PGA Tour since 2002 (severe health problems limited his playing time), has been a mere footnote over the last 10 years. He almost changed that on Sunday. Hanging around the lead all day, Pride found himself within a shot of Jason Dufner coming to the 18th hole. But after his tee shot found the water, Pride figured his chances were sunk. Far from it. He somehow found a way to hit his third shot on the green, before canning an incredible 22-foot par save. Even though Pride came up a shot short, you have to be impressed with the way he played, especially after being out of the spotlight since his last win 18 years ago (1994 FedEx St Jude Classic).

Shakespeare once wrote that when troubles come, they come not as single spies, but as battalions. For Jason Dufner, the same sentiment holds true for PGA Tour victories. He took down the Byron Nelson this past weekend with a spectacular closing birdie; we've got that here, along with much of the best of the rest from the tournament. Make sure to check out JJ Henry's spectacular ace and Dicky Pride's birdie run, but this was all Dufner, all the time. Congrats to a guy who's won more in the last month than Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Byron Nelson himself combined.

Jason Dufner / Getty ImagesIRVING, Texas — For pretty much every guy on the PGA Tour not named Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson, winning twice in the same calendar year is considered a major accomplishment.

But if you're Jason Dufner, that's just a typical month. After picking up his first PGA Tour win in a playoff two weeks prior in New Orleans at the Zurich Classic, he waggled his way to his second win on Sunday at the HP Byron Nelson Championship, rolling in a 25-footer on the final hole to win by one over Dicky Pride.

If winning twice in the same month wasn't good enough, Dufner had another life-changing event along the way: He got married.

Two wins and a wedding? It's safe to say nobody on the planet has had a better three-week stretch than the guy from Auburn, Ala. And based on the direction his game is trending at the moment, it looks like things could only get better.

After his colossal collapse at the 2011 PGA Championship, many wondered if he'd ever rebound from a tournament that, for all intents and
