The Sleeper Report: Fantasy Golf Sleepers, Long Shots, and Undervalued Picks for the 2015 Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio

Event Preview

Just two events remain until the Masters and both will be played in the Lone Star State, starting with one of the mainstays on tour, this week’s Valero Texas Open.

Players will converge on TPC San Antonio, a par-72, 7,433-yard course, which has been the host for this event since 2010 and has seen five different winners with three of the past four having finished with a score of eight-under par.

Last season, Aussie Steven Bowditch looked past the fact that he missed the cut in three of the four Florida tournaments and rattled off a 69-67-68 over the first three days; building a large enough lead to hold up his poor 76 on a blustery Sunday afternoon. He was just the second Australian-born golfer with a victory at this event since the move to San Antonio as Adam Scott also took home the trophy for the Aussies back in 2010.

World No. 6 golfer Jordan Speith will attempt to win in consecutive outings after grabbing the Valspar Championhship few weeks ago. Speith will be playing in his home state of Texas and would become the first multiple winner of the 2014-15 season if he is able to secure his third career victory here at TPC San Antonio.

It will not be an easy task though, as Jordan is joined by fellow top-10 golfers, Jim Furyk and Dustin Johnson, as well as another eight players from the top-25. Among that group is Jimmy Walker who will be looking to hold on to the FedExCup lead with a strong showing. Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Sangmoon Bae are the other three golfers playing this week who are in the top-10 of the FedEx Cup standings.

This event is one that anybody can win as evidenced by the fact that each of the last four winners are currently ranked 99th or worse in the World rankings, so let’s look at a few picks who could win despite some challenging odds.
