Henrik Stenson — 37th

Stenson has found the top 10 on seven occasions in his last eight starts. The only poor result from that group was a mid-tournament withdrawal from the WGC-Mexico Championship due to illness; ignoring that, he’s on a run of seven in a row. What’s more, he’s become a perennial contender at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, finding the top 10 in each of the last four years and notching a podium finish in each of the last two.

Stenson is often lauded for his ball striking, but it’s his performance on the greens that’s really come out of the woodwork recently — at last week’s Valspar Championship, he was ninth in the field in strokes gained: putting.

With a strong performance at the Copperhead Course, Stenson’s confidence should be as high as ever. It seems like it’s only a matter of time before he hoists a trophy at Bay Hill, and given his current form, that day may come as soon as this Sunday.
