The Texas Two-Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the very last rendition of the WGC Dell Match Play in Austin last week, the PGA Tour heads 90 minutes down I-35 to San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open on the heels of the year\u2019s first major. Augusta looms in the background and you can almost smell the Pimiento Cheese. Before we get to the gloriousness of The Masters, there\u2019s one more change for a major miracle in the Lone Star State as a familiar site beckons for rookies and tour vets alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For it being my hometown event, my match play picks were delivering the same dead man walking energy as the entire tournament week. A sad ending to the Dell Match Play era in Austin (and maybe on the PGA Tour?) was coupled with an underwhelming performance, to say the least outside of Max Homa making it to the weekend. Am I distracted by The Masters? Undoubtedly – But I hit Jordan Spieth\u2019s victory here at Valero in 2021 so let\u2019s run it back with another W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wide Open Spaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TPC San Antonio\u2019s Oaks Course is the host, and this track bordering on 7500 yards would play a lot more beastly if there weren’t nice wide landing zones on many of the driver holes – it\u2019s bombs away this week. Still, don\u2019t let the name of the track slip past you – you can get stuck in trees here and record a 16 like Kein N famous did in 2011. The track is crafted around a drama-friendly finish. The par three 16th has a donut bunker in the middle of the green, 17 is a short par four ripe for birdies and the par 5 18t can be an eagle or a double dobby real fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the week before The Masters, so predictably the field is a little bit trimmed down in anticipation of the year\u2019s first major. Notables atop the odds boards include the fiery Tyrell Hatton, Hideki Matsuyama, and Rickie Fowler – who is on the outside looking in the week before Augusta. There\u2019s definitely an opportunity for a longshot or rookie to make their way into contention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forecasting The Texas Open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This tournament has a knack for producing winners with Texas ties, from Jimmy Walker to Andrew Landry and Jordan Spieth..so as cliche as it is I\u2019ll play to the narrative. In terms of player fits it\u2019s all about the irons and wedges for my card, as drivers have room to work at TPC San Antonio. It\u2019s going to be a dry spring week in SA, so firm fast will be on full display. Let the big dog eat and don’t be afraid to throw a couple of tall boy longshots on your card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Who\u2019s hot and trending \u2013<\/strong> recent high finishes, top-10 streaks, and consistent play are never a bad thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Horses for courses \u2013 <\/strong>players love certain courses and course familiarity and experience are invaluable in a field of the world\u2019s best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. What the numbers tell you this week \u2013<\/strong> while I\u2019m far from analytical, there\u2019s always a tournament darling or two scattered across the golf talk stratosphere that stuns on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Intangibles \u2013<\/strong> while this allows for theater of the mind, there\u2019s a mysterious optimism surrounding that feels \u201cdue\u201d or if the price looks just right for buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Dell Match play, Max Homa was my lone play that made it through the group stage and onto the weekend. Outside of that dud, it was a dull week as we bid adieu to Match Play on the PGA Tour, hopefully not for too long. The picks were a D for Dell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Picks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(Wanna start a Pick-X pool with your friends? Learn more <\/em>here<\/em><\/a>! Or, if you’re looking to start your own PGA One-and-Done pool, check those out <\/em>here<\/em><\/a>) (Hint: the main difference between the two is how many players you’ll pick each week)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1: Si Woo Kim – An interesting leadoff play but it fits here – T13 last year and he seems to jump to the top of boards with little notice. Odds are curiously low.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2: JJ Spaun – The Stars have aligned as the defending champ is coming off a strong showing in Austin, he\u2019ll undoubtedly be a factor come the weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3: Ben Griffin – Looked impressive in the group stage despite not making the weekend in Austin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4: Matt Kuchar- This is why he\u2019s called the ATM – he\u2019ll show up and walk to a top 10 or 20 finish here and his 2nd last year shows he\u2019s a fan of the course.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5: Beau Hossler – Here\u2019s a Texan play, and it\u2019s a guy who has peaked his head out in Texas events before that\u2019s due for a big finish.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6: Dylan Frittelli – How about another UT Longhorn winning in Texas this week that isn\u2019t Scottie or Jordan? He finished just outside the top 10 here last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RYP <\/strong>One and Done <\/strong><\/a>Pick: Si Woo Kim<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Deets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where to watch: <\/strong>Golf Channel and NBC all week – one last peacock broadcast before the CBS run begins for Jim Nantz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why to watch:<\/strong> It\u2019s the week before The Masters, and the Texas Open always creates some buzz with an interesting list of recent champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to eat: <\/strong>San Antonio claims that their breakfast tacos are better than Austin\u2019s. They are likely wrong but I\u2019ll make some anyway as a tribute to the Texas Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
