Prediction for Dean and Deluca Invitational

Colonial Country Club, 7,209 yards, par 70. 72nd edition of the tournament at Colonial.

Defending champion: Jordan Spieth

TV: Thursday-Friday: Golf Channel: 3-6 PM CT/4-7 PM ET; Saturday-Sunday: Golf Channel, 12-1:30 PM CT/1-2:30 PM ET; CBS, 2-5 PM CT/3-6 PM ET. 

Weather: Extremely hot Thursday and Friday. Thursday, sunny, 93, winds 16-25 MPH, Friday 100, but no rain, the players want some rain particularly on Friday. Winds Friday 17-24 MPH. Saturday and Sunday chance of strong t-storms. Saturday 97, winds 15-20 MPH. Sunday, 88, winds 10-15 MPH. That's scary hot and chance of some rough sledding on the course and in the area. The story of this tournament will be who can handle these demanding elements the best. 

Prediction

Going with the 34 year old from Lubbock, Texas. He finished T-5 last week at the Nelson, shooting 67,69,68, 68 good for -8, 4 back of winner Billy Horschel. He's been trending well the last 2 years. I see him getting over the top in Fort Worth this week.
