Adam Scott — 72nd

At last year’s Honda Classic, Scott was on fire, signing for a 65, a 66 and two 70s to clip Sergio Garcia by one stroke and take home his 12th PGA Tour win. That week, he delivered one of his strongest putting performances of the year and was solid across the rest of the board, setting him up for a great defense this week. He also tied for 12th at the 2014 Honda Classic, so it’s not like the win was a one-off. Furthermore, Scott has fared well in both of his official starts this year, notching a tie for ninth over in Singapore last month and a tie for 11th at the Genesis Open last week.

Everything appears to be aligning in Scott’s favor this week. If he can stay focused, he’s got a great chance to become the Honda Classic’s first back-to-back winner since Jack Nicklaus in 1978.
