His game has not been as sharp in ’17 as in ’16, still he has won twice and can win again on this course, a course he played great on last week.

Another of those quiet guys that are playing this week with a good reason, because their game is perfect for the course.
Best of the rest:
Brian Harman

T7 | T25 | T10 | T30 | CUT |
Is game is perfect for the course, he has driven it well this year, hits lots of greens and putts well. Should win by a mile, right?
Webb Simpson

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
5 | T3 | CUT | CUT |
Coming to a course he can do well on at the perfect time, He showed a lot with his Players win and I expect him to win again this year, could be this week.
Zach Johnson

T63 | T17 | T19 | 73 | 3 | Win | 4 | Win | T9 | T30 |
Short hitter that has a great advantage on this course. Watch him and back him, he will not let you down.
Steve Stricker

T7 | T47 | T27 | T38 | Win | CUT | T24 |
Can’t say enough good things about him. Giving up a spot in a senior major because he feels he can win this week, course has been good to him in past years.
Solid contenders
Adam Scott
2018 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T55 | T24 | Win | T65 | T64 |
Watch him this week, his game seems to have improved each week he plays. Also on a mission, doesn’t want to qualify for the U.S. Open. Oh, do I need to remind you he is a past champion of this event.
Jimmy Walker
2018 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T29 | T65 | T10 | T56 |
Another player coming from the depths of poor play and doing well in the last couple of weeks.
Jordan Spieth

I know that he is everyone’s big pick, but I worry about his putting.
Rickie Fowler

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | T54 | T5 | T16 | T38 |
Honestly I don’t even think he is worth the 20 words written about him, his game may not be ready for this week.
Jason Dufner
2018 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | T6 | T43 | 2 | T46 | 2 | CUT | T59 | CUT |
Have a feeling about him, showed something at the Players and I think that good play can carry over.
Long shots that could come through:
Emiliano Grillo
2018 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T24 | T55 |
This could be his week, very good driver and hits a lot of greens, all that and a solid putter spells a good week for him.
Beau Hossler
2018 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 | ’06 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

May not be the best of drivers, but hits a lot of greens and can putt well.
Chez Reavie

Hits lot’s of fairways, if he can get his putter going could do very well.
