NOTES: This is the fourth of five PGA Tour events in Texas this year. The final one will be the Good Good Championship in Austin from Nov. 12-15. … Colonial is playing host to its 80th event, making it the longest-running host venue for a non-major on tour. Hole Nos. 3-5 were dubbed the “Horrible Horseshoe” by the late golf writer and Texas native Dan Jenkins. … The field returned to 132 players with the withdrawal by Brooks Koepka. The field had been at 135 to ensure each group had three players as part of the Returning Member Program. Wyndham Clark also withdrew following his victory last week and was replaced in the field by Lanto Griffin. … This is the final event for players to earn spots into next week’s signature event via the Aon Swing 5. The top five currently are Clark, Brandt Snedeker, Mark Hubbard, Jason Suber and Zach Bauchou. Suber is in the field on a sponsor exemption along with Zac Blair, Albert Hansson, Nick Hardy, Charley Hoffman, Kevin Kisner, Matt Kuchar, Ryan Palmer, Webb Simpson and Camilo Villegas. Nick Dunlap and Mason Howell are in the field as Champions’ Choice selections. … Zach Johnson holds the tournament scoring record of 259 set in 2010.
BEST BETS: Ludvig Aberg (+800 at DraftKings) has yet to win this year but enters with six finishes of T8 or better in his past seven starts, including a T4 at the PGA Championship. … Justin Thomas (+2000) is coming off a season-best T4 at the PGA Championship. … Griffin (+2200) seeks to join Ben Hogan (1946-47, 1952-53) as the only back-to-back champions in event history. … Rickie Fowler (+2200) has three consecutive top-10 finishes in non-majors. He has not won on tour since the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic. … J.J. Spaun (+2500) is the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 9, but has only one top-10 in six previous event appearances. … Robert MacIntyre (+2500) hasn’t finished better than T42 in his past four starts. However, that followed a solo fourth at The Players and a T2 at the Valero Texas Open. … Hideki Matsuyama (+3000) is one of the more accomplished players in the field, but his lone top-5 so far this season came at the WM Phoenix Open in February.
