If there’s one golfer primed for a breakthrough victory at the Valero Texas Open this week, it’s got to be Kevin Chappell. He’s got a great track record in this tournament, nabbing three top-15 finishes since 2011, including last year’s T-4 showing. Chappell has been playing some solid golf of late as well, tying for seventh in his last start at Augusta.
Another golfer who’s primed for a huge performance this week is Luke Donald. He has been playing some solid golf of late, grabbing top-30 finishes in four of his last six starts, including a runner-up showing at last week’s RBC Heritage tournament. He will look to keep the momentum going at TPC San Antonio, the site of his 13th-place finish last year. Key to Donald’s resurgence has been his terrific play with the flat stick. He is fourth in the PGA Tour in strokes gained via putting with an impressive .931 average. That will come in handy for Donald when tackling the delicate greens here in Texas.
One golfer who can definitely make a run at the Texas Open crown this week is Jhonattan Vegas. The Venezuelan has been on fire of late, grabbing top-17 finishes in four of his last six starts, including a fourth-place showing at the Honda Classic last February. What makes Vegas such a threat in every golf event that he competes in is his length off the tee. He is 41st in the PGA Tour in driving distance, averaging 297.4 yards per drive this season. That powerful swing will come in handy for Vegas when tackling the tough 7,522-yard, par-72 TPC San Antonio course.
