Spieth a Solid Favorite

Spieth nearly won last week at Colonial but a late bogey cost him a chance at a possible playoff. He comes into this event ranked #2 in the world and playing really well. Spieth won the Masters which is a major but he also treats the tournaments in the Dallas area as very important. "I focus as if they're major championships," he said. "There's nothing better than playing well in front of your hometown family and friends."

This event is played at the TPC Four Seasons Resort at Las Colinas which is a par 70 that measures 7,166 yards. Scott Verplank who won this event in 2007 will be playing it for the 27th time.
