Defending champion: Kevin Kisner, -10. Outlasted Sean O’Hair, Jon Rahm and Jordan Spieth by a shot.
Colonial Country Club, 7,209 yards, par 70, the 71st time this tournament has been played on this course. The Tour started playing there in 1946. Only Augusta National in 1934 has hosted a PGA tournament for a longer period of time.
Last week, 21 year old South African born and former NCAA team champ at Oregon, Aaron Wise, shot 23 under to win the Byron Nelson on Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas. He defeated second place finisher Marc Leishman by 3 shots. Wise, the ultra-talented youngster, shot 65,63,68,65, in a superior display of golf.
TV this week: Thursday-Friday, Golf Channel, 3-6 PM CT; Saturday-Sunday, Golf Channel, 12-1:45 PM CT, CBS 2-5 PM CT.
It’s going to be hot in Fort Worth. 92 tomorrow, 95 Friday, 97 Saturday and Sunday. It’ll be an endurance test, which favors the younger guys.
Prediction
I’m going to take a 24 year old Texas college educated player, but it may not be the one you’re thinking of. Believe in the way he’s playing. He’s knocking on the door of winning as regularly as you can on tour after emerging victorious at the John Deere Classic last July. I took him at the Players, and I’m going to take him again here.
I like the Clovis, California native by way of SMU to take home the hardware from Colonial.

Spieth is hitting it well. Due to make some putts.
I like your pick and have him in my fantasy field. I like Justin Rose to win. The Englishman would look good in the winners jacket
Thanks fellas.
Like you pick also DW. I am going withe Jon Rahm. Did you see our man G Logic on the Fox 6 news Monday? He was spreading some of his logic on the tax situation in Irondale. He nailed it and should be the Mayor of Irondale!
Walt, who is G Logic?!
That it totally Classic, Walter. Logic should be governor.
Hey fellas- I’m late to the convo due to lack of knowledge but Walter Pittman gave me the secret password! DW I like you sticking with B DeChambeau, he’s got the game. I didn’t realize that he won both the U.S. Amateur & the NCAA Championship in 2015. My pick is also my favorite golfer Jordan Spieth. Thanks David for your research and great writing skills to put these blogs together!
Thanks a ton for the comments, B Skinner! Please keep’em coming!
Buddy, G Logic, is Bubba Gameological Bates. Gameological from our fantasy football days when he called his team the Gems and called himself Gimeological. Chris Sultis misspelled it Gameological. Thanks.
