2022 Charles Schwab Challenge: Top 10 power rankings at Colonial

Jordan Spieth plays well in his home state. That’s embodied at the Charles Schwab Challenge where he owns a win, two runner-ups, and seven top-10s in nine starts.

The Texan’s never missed the cut at Colonial.

In fact, he’s never finished worse than T-32nd. Incredible stuff.

The crowning achievement was in 2016 when Spieth fired 67-66-65-65 to win by three.

“It’s great, because we have quite a few golf courses on the PGA Tour that are some of the shortest golf courses that produce some of the highest scores. It just shows you that you don’t have to keep adding length,” Spieth was transcribed by ASAP Sports in 2017. “You can carve it a different way. This is not — Phil has won here twice. Phil hits the ball a long ways. There have been bombers who have won here and there have been guys who have played for positioning and short game that have won here.”

Last year, the former Texas Longhorn was the 54-hole leader before faltering on the back nine Sunday. Jason Kokrak passed up Spieth, who settled for solo second (63-66-66-73). Spieth’s Thursday 63 was two off the course record.

He was fourth in the field in strokes gained putting for the week (7.119) and did not make any double bogeys or worse. Spieth just didn’t make enough birdies on a day where even par 70 couldn’t quite cut it.

Spieth is a recent winner at the RBC Heritage in a nice bounce back from a missed cut at the Masters. He nearly went back-to-back at the AT&T Byron Nelson, settling for solo second.

He didn’t have his best stuff last week at the PGA Championship, but the 28-year-old still grinded out a T-34th. Given the disappointment of his performance at Southern Hills and a feeling of unfinished business in the DFW, I like a resilient player like Spieth to roll it better than he has this season and bounce back once again.
