Dew Sweeper

By Brent Kelley, About.com

Definition: A player in a pro tournament who, in the third or fourth round, has a very early tee time. Early morning pairings (when the dew is still on the ground - get it?) on the weekend in a tour event are made up of the players who've made the cut but are closest to the bottom of the field. So "dew sweeper" is not a complimentary term.
