Houston Open: Top 10 PGA Tour Fantasy Power Rankings
By Sam Belden
Rafa Cabrera-Bello — 97th
Cabrera-Bello couldn’t match his 2016 performance at last week’s WGC-Dell Match Play, but he still logged some solid rounds, defeating two opponents, including a red-hot Tyrrell Hatton, in the group stage. It still wasn’t good enough to advance to the knockout rounds, but that just means he’ll be better rested for this week’s event. In terms of course history, he’s made just one career start at the Golf Club of Houston, but it was a good one — a year ago, he shot a final round 65 to rocket into fourth-place. Now that he’s more familiar with the track, it’s not unreasonable to expect a similar result this week.
At 29th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: putting, Cabrera-Bello seldom struggles to score, so he should be all systems go for the Shell Houston Open. He’s got a great chance to establish himself as a legitimate course horse this week.
