The Oaks was designed by Greg Norman and Sergio García. The look is traditional but has a open feeling for players and spectators. The fairways are a mix between tight tree-lined and wide open, all focusing on hitting second shot target areas that are protected by tall natural grass roughs.

That goes for the greens as well as many of them go from putting surface to traditional rough and then natural grass in only a few yards. A misplayed approach shot could be disastrous. Look for some elevated short iron play this week!

As for tee shots – the wind may be an issue for the first couple of days. This might elevate some scoring for the opening rounds and may make the cutline interesting. Errant tee shots will find deep outer roughs somewhere between 4-7 inches.

2022 Valero Texas Open Predictions

Corey Conners +1800

Corey Conners won this event in 2019 and has played well here over the years. He seems to have a knack for knowing how to play the wind at this course and is great at hitting fairways in the right spot. In his 2019 win he went 20-under with his two-stroke victory. You have to go back to 2003 to Tommy Armour III’s win of 26 under to beat Conners mark.

Bryson DeChambeau +2200

Bryson DeChambeau may not be the threat he was a few years ago due to some lingering injuries. But if he has his powerful driver on point he could play his tee shots below any wind issues. This course plays long in some places and opening shots will be a premium. It will be interesting to see how his wrist holds up heading into the Masters.

Ryan Palmer +6600

Ryan Palmer has scored four top ten and six top twenty finishes here so he knows this course! Palmer is not having any issues between the tee and the green this season. But he’ll need his putter to come alive to be at the front on Sunday. Palmer has had four rough outings with 3 cuts and a T70. Before that, he finished T11, T12, and T16.

Others I Like: Abraham Ancer (+2200) looked strong last week and has a solid game going. He should hit TPC San Antonio running. Luke List (+6600) has a win this season and is always a threat with his putter which is a high-value club at this course.
