The only team with two players ranked in the top 10 ...

A lighter field at the Valero Texas Open, where I provided an early tournament preview at TheLines ahead of next week's Masters. Just six of the top-40 players in the world rankings are playing at TPC San Antonio, including native Texan and Longhorns favorites Scottie Scheffler, who was runner-up in last week's WGC Match Play in Austin. Fellow Texan Jordan Spieth is a betting favorite to win on the par 72 course that stretches to 7,435 yards with wind usually a factor.

I posted some historical Elite Eight data in my recent ...
