JoePa's HP BYRON NELSON Picks
Nice to have a winner again last week, as Chris Kirk was a straight up winner even though I picked him for a Top 5 finish. Distance will be a big key this week with the Dallas area taking on lots of water and no roll on the course. It should be steamy with a chance of some more rain and temps in the 80s.
BRANDT SNEDEKER 22/1 OUTRIGHT WIN & 9/2 TOP 5 FINISH - Sneds came out of no where last week he shot four sub 70 rounds and finished T2nd last week at Colonial. Even though he had the putter working beautifully last week, He did miss a couple of putts, including one on 18 that could have propelled him into a playoff with eventual winner Chris Kirk. His finish in Fort Worth was his best finish of the season since winning at Pebble Beach earlier in the season.
IAN POULTER / WITHDREW ON WEDNESDAY AFTER MY POST-
GARY WOODLAND 6/1 TOP 5 FINISH - Runnerup finish at the Cadillac Match Play and T4th at Quail Hollow. He likes this course and has collected five straight pay checks at TPC Four Seasons where he finished a personal-best T7th in 2014!
JUSTIN THOMAS 6/1 TOP 5 FINISH - Second week in a row that I have backed a player making a debut in a Texas tournament! Again, not usually to my liking, but, Thomas comes to Big 'D' in great form with Top 25s in his last four Tour starts the best being a T7th at Quail Hollow. His string of finishes also includes T24th at The Players, T12th at the Zurich and T11th at the RBC Heritage. Nine of his last 12 rounds have been in he 60s! He's 7th in driving distance, 2nd in par 5 scoring, 8th in putting average and 9th in birdie average.
JONH HUH 14/1 TOP 5 FINISH - Simply like his ability to drive the ball deep off the tee and that he finished with 8 birdies on Sunday at Colonial where he finished T18th with a final round 64. He placed 8th here in 2013 and T16th in 2014. Currently ranks 23rd in strokes gained putting.
