PGA Tour Top 10 Power Rankings: Genesis Open

Justin Thomas — 2nd

While Thomas doesn’t have the greatest track record at Riviera — he’s two-for-two, but has yet to finish inside the top 40 — he’s been playing well enough to contend anywhere. With seven top 25s in his last eight starts dating back to last fall, his good form goes much deeper than his two most recent wins. While he struggled at TPC Scottsdale, his missed cut was mostly due to a nightmarish putting performance in the second round. He still ranks ninth on the new PGA Tour season in strokes gained: putting, so I’m willing to write the mishap off as an anomaly as we head to the Genesis Open.

With a well-rounded game that’s built to win, Thomas is fast becoming a fixture in the PGA Tour winner’s circle. Don’t be surprised if he finds himself there again come Sunday afternoon.
