Default I'm pretty sure that Billy

Horschel has earned an IPO. This win will, I think, put him in 3rd spot on the money list.

I generally try to avoid writing about fantasy golf in the introduction part of this preview each week, but the curious case of Billy Horschel has forced my hand this week. You see, Horschel was not on my radar entering the year, and I wasn't alone. Horschel's first two seasons on the PGA TOUR resulted in return trips to Q-School, and although he showed some signs of improvement in 2012, he never threatened the top 125. All of which makes his play this season quite a surprise. It's not unheard of for a golfer to come from outside the top 125 to comfortably inside that magic number, but we are nearly halfway through the regular season and Horschel sits third in the FedEx Cup standings. His rank is no fluke either - you don't find yourself that high in the standings this deep into the season without some consistent play. In addition to his win last week, Horschel also has a runner-up and a third-place finish. He's teed it up 12 times this season and has five top-10s, six top-25s and no missed cuts. So why make the exception and write about Horschel in the intro? Basically to make a point that as long as a golfer has his card, he has a chance to make it big. On paper, there was little to indicate that Horschel had this in him, but as I've always said, there isn't much separating golfers on the PGA TOUR, and sometimes a little confidence is all they need.

I'll add Jordan Spieth to the suggestion list. 10 tourns....7 cuts...averaging 100K in winnings per tourn. He is in the trop 30 (on tour) in: driving accuracy/eagles/scoring avg/total driving and is ranked 17th in all around.
