Comish's NOTE -- I'm traveling this week and will be unavailable on Thursday, so I need everyone to submit their picks by Wednesday at 4:00. I'm also traveling back on Monday, so the stats won't get updated until Monday night.

Texas Children's Houston Open 

Memorial Park Golf Course

Houston, TX • USA

Texas Children's Houston Open

A couple of notes from the Valspar Championship:

• One of the game's great characters, Viktor Hovland, saw his game in complete disarray coming into this event, so it was both surprising and fun to see him notch his 7th (!) PGA TOUR victory at the ripe old age of 27. Congratulations to Norway's favorite son, death metal aficionado, and short game magician who will probably be a problem for the USA come Ryder Cup weekend.

• My guy, Adam Scott, had a fairly lackluster T57 finish. The fact that he even made the cut to pick up a little spending cash was due to Neal Shipley. He made a bogey on 18 on Friday that moved the cut line and brought 12 guys into the weekend. Shipley even suggested those players could express their thanks by buying him some Waffle House gift cards, which will hopefully keep him knee deep in scattered, smothered, and covered hash browns for a while. 

With that, we leave the Florida Swing and head to the Lone Star State for the Texas Children's Houston Open. This middling event boasts a pretty deep field and is no doubt being used as a tune-up for our first major of the year, The Masters. My guy has been lingering on leaderboards over the last couple of seasons. Son of Soviet refugees, he is the embodiment of the American Dream. His father was a hedge fund manager, and his mother was a tennis player at Rutgers. As far as I can tell, the only negative is that he graduated from Duke, but nobody can be perfect. Don't let his recent disaster at The PLAYERS Championship fool you; he's a journeyman pro with 3 runner-up finishes (one of them was last year in our backyard at the 3M Open), and his current Official World Golf Ranking of 40th suggests he is due for his first win on the big stage. A round of applause for the kid from Short Hills, NJ, a guy who aspires to own a lot of dogs someday, Mr. Max Greyserman!
