Matt Kuchar

Brillant ball-striking at Shriners last week was erased by losing over five strokes putting. Expect the vet to thrive at El Camaleon - a plodders' paradise.

Jordan Spieth

Remains elite in this field despite struggles at Shriners last week, mainly off the tee. Hopefully switching back to his older driver will help.

Tony Finau

Continues to knock on the door of career win No. 2, with his only victory coming in Puerto Rico. Perhaps his key to success is the tropical climate.
