Three storylines for Valero Texas Open: Is it Tommy Fleetwood's time?

More than a handful of big names are struggling leading up to the first major championship of the season. Matsuyama went cold after his season-opening win at The Sentry and missed the cut in his last start at the Players Championship. 

Finau has more missed cuts (three) than top-10 finishes (one) this year. 

And Homa — well, Homa has missed four straight cuts and has only one top-20 finish since his T3 at the Masters last year. 

Matsuyama, Finau and Homa are typically high up on the list of contenders at Augusta National, but that's not looking like the case right now. A strong week at TPC San Antonio would do wonders for their confidence. 

Jordan Spieth's final tune-up before his return to Augusta

Spieth is still working his way back from wrist surgery, but he's shown some glimpses of his old self this year with a T4 at the WM Phoenix Open and the T9 at the Cognizant Classic. Professional golf is better with Spieth near the top of the leaderboard, and he's done that quite often at Augusta National over the years. 

In 11 career starts at the Masters, Spieth has a win and six top-five finishes. The American missed the cut last year during a period of injuries and a loss of confidence, but he's starting to find some form again. One last tune-up in his home state of Texas should give us an idea of how ready Spieth is to contend for another green jacket.
