Power rankings: Valero Texas Open
The PGA Tour makes its third of five Texas stops tihs week, heading to TPC San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open.
Texan Jimmy Walker defends on a demanding AT&T Oaks Course, which has large greens that are among the most difficult to hit on the PGA Tour. Wind is typically a factor. Walker will also have to face off with the likes of Phil Mickelson, Brandt Snedeker and Bryson DeChambeau.
Here are our top five players for the Valero Texas Open:
1. Charley Hoffman -- Coming off a T-14 at Harbour Town, Hoffman has been in the top 15 here in each of the last five years. No reason to bet against that.
2. Matt Kuchar -- Kuchar also has a very good record at TPC San Antonio, finishing in the top 15 in three of the last four years. A T-9 at Harbour Town is encouraging, of course.
3. Branden Grace -- The Harbour Town winner is going to keep on going this week. He's made both cuts here in the past, and he handled nasty conditions well on his way to both of his worldwide wins in 2016.
4. Daniel Summerhays -- Not going to see this much this year, but Summerhays is a grinder that is perfect for this course. He's been inside the top seven here in each of the last three years.
5. Billy Horschel -- Horschel seems to play his best when the weather gets nasty. He's missed one cut this season and has four top-20 finishes. He has two third-place finishes here in the last three years.
