Houston Open: Top 10 PGA Tour Fantasy Power Rankings
By Sam Belden
Jordan Spieth — 7th
Going by the standard we have for most golfers, Spieth is in terrific form, but he’s still faded a bit over the past month — his last top 10 came when he won at Pebble Beach in February. However, the 23-year-old didn’t fare too poorly at the WGC-Match Play last week, posting a win, a loss and a half in what turned out to be a surprisingly competitive pool. With two consecutive top 15s at the Shell Houston Open, including a share of second place in 2015, he definitely checks the box for course history. As the PGA Tour’s top-ranked player in both strokes gained: approach-the-green and greens in regulation, he has the game to take full advantage of that experience this week.
It seems there’s something about the month of April that brings out the best in Spieth’s game. If history is any indication, he’ll be poised to shoot some low scores this week.
