19. Louis Oosthuizen
19. Louis Oosthuizen
Oosthuizen has two top-25 finishes in his last three tournaments. The veteran will be worth grabbing as a mid-level second golfer.

Mahan has made the cut in three straight trips to Colonial, including two top-26 finishes.
16. Jimmy Walker

Johnson is having a magical season (two wins), but he hasn't played here since posting a T74 back in 2008. Look for DJ to struggle early on this week.
14. Boo Weekley

Weekley shockingly won this tournament last year. He also placed ninth in 2010 and will be a former champ with looking for.
13. Rickie Fowler
13. Rickie Fowler
Fowler is not getting much attention this week. However, he tied for fifth in 2012 and finished 16th in 2011, so don't discount the kid this week.
12. John Huh

Huh tied for 11th here in 2013 and tied for fifth in 2012. He will be one of the best sleepers to look for this week at Colonial.

11. Kevin Na
Na has eight top-20 finishes on the year. He is 17th on the tour in putting (1.738) and 20th in birdies (3.96). Na should be able to sink several long putts on the readable green down in Texas.
