Power rankings: AT&T Byron Nelson
The PGA Tour rolls into Dallas for the AT&T Byron Nelson at TPC Four Seasons. Jordan Spieth is the hometown hero and the headliner in this week’s event. However, the likes of Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Jason Dufner and a slew of former major champions are looking to prove spoiler for Spieth’s possible first win in this event.
Here are our top five players for this week:
1. Dustin Johnson — He hasn’t won here, but he has four top-10 finishes in six career starts at TPC Four Seasons. He’s found a groove of consistent golf, even in places he hasn’t historically liked, including a T-28 at The Players.
2. Matt Kuchar — Kooch put up a T-3 at The Players, which is his best PGA Tour finish in over a year. Three top-15s in the last five years is a more than solid record here.
3. Ryan Palmer — Palmer loves this tournament, with a trio of top-15s. He’s also missed just one cut all season, in his first start. Was tied for fourth at the Texas Open.
4. Charley Hoffman — Hoffman has four career top-10s in this event, and he’s playing great golf, including a Lone Star win last month. That’s not shabby. Runner-up here last year.
5. Jordan Spieth — As Spieth goes through game changes, it’s clear he’s going to have moments of frustration. Spieth has the talent to do well here, but he said at The Players that he hasn’t felt he’s contended here since he was a 16-year-old amateur.
