Houston Open: Top 10 PGA Tour Fantasy Power Rankings
By Sam Belden
Phil Mickelson — 32nd
Mickelson’s tie for fifth at the Match Play stands as his fifth top five finish since the calendar turned to 2017, so we know he’s still as consistent as ever as he nears his 47th birthday. In addition, he’s really heated up over the last month, posting top 10s at back-to-back WGC events. With that kind of momentum, he should be ready to turn some heads at the Golf Club of Houston, where he found the winner’s circle in 2011. All told, Mickelson hasn’t missed out on the top 20 at the Shell Houston Open since 2010, the kind of track record that will only amplify his great form.
It’s been nearly four years since Mickelson last won a PGA Tour event, but he has what it takes to end that drought this week. With the Masters fast approaching, he’s got a great chance to further boost his confidence with a victory.
