The last stop in Texas for 2016 comes at Ben Hogan’s old stomping grounds, Colonial Country Club. With the Hawk fondly remembered around the grounds, look for his type of players (ie. accurate) to populate the leaderboard.
Jordan Spieth is making another start in his home state after a rough Sunday at the AT&T Byron Nelson. He is joined by big names such as Adam Scott, Matt Kuchar and Zach Johnson. Not exactly murderer’s row, but a solid cast of characters as we get ready to countdown the days until the U.S. Open.
