Spieth struggled in the second half of last season, but he posted a T17 on this course last October. There are worse options to take a flyer on as a second golfer.

Poulter is coming off a miserable T48 at the BMW Masters. It would be better to wait until he has a couple solid rounds under his belt before grabbing the veteran.

Keegs has cracked the top-20 in both appearances on this course and will be worth grabbing as a second golfer this week in all formats.

Mahan started the year by posting a T3 at the Frys.com Open. The veteran may not get much attention this week, but he is certainly worth a pick in the top-15.

Watson has yet to play this season, but he ended the year with back-to-back top-15 finishes. He debuted with a T8 at Sheshan last year and should come close to mirroring that performance this year.

Westwood has two top-15’s already this year. He also has two top-five finishes at Sheshan International, so consider the veteran a pretty safe bet this week in China.

5. Rickie Fowler

This will be Fowler’s first action of the season. He is ranked pretty high this week, so it may be better to wait a week or two before grabbing this notoriously slow starter.

4. Graeme McDowell

McDowell has racked up back-to-back solo third place finishes on this course. He will be worth a top-five pick this week.

Garcia posted a solo fourth place finish here last year. The Spaniard shows up every week, and if last week’s T2 is any indication, Garcia is in for another huge season.

Scott rattled off 10 straight top-10 performances before his brief hiccup (T38) at the Japan Open. He is still a machine and will be worth a top-five pick in all formats.

Rose has amassed two T4’s and a win at the Scottish Open in his three tournaments this fall. He will be the heavy favorite this week in China.
