However, at the risk of completely whiffing, I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt for this week’s event, if only because of his impressive track record at the Shell Houston Open. The 40-year-old has picked up two runner-up finishes in his last three trips to the Golf Club of Houston, a remarkable success rate. I’m not ready to totally write him off yet, and if he’s going to rebound, this course is an ideal stage on which to do it.
This pick may come back to bite me, but Stenson is talented enough to contend for trophies even when the momentum isn’t there. He’ll need to rely on his experience to do it, but I think he can summon enough game to make a run this week.
