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."
