Russell Henley

Henley's worst finish in his last five Houston Open appearances is a T-8. He won in 2017 and seems to always show up, regardless of his recent form.

Scottie Scheffler

Scheffler is going to be a prolific winner on the PGA Tour. There's no better place for him to collect his first victory than in his home state of Texas.
