4. Jon Rahm
Since the start of the 2017 calendar year, this Spaniard has been one dangerous hombre on the PGA Tour.
He claimed his first PGA win in January, capping off a magnificent four-round performance to beat a star-studded field with a magnificent eagle on the 72nd hole Sunday afternoon.

Since that win, Rahm has three top-five finishes, a top-10 finish last weekend at the Shell Houston Open and another top-20 finish to his credit.
He’s been red hot of late, which will serve him well this weekend at Augusta. It’s worth pointing out he’s never before competed in a Masters before, so it’s going to be interesting to see how far his hot play will carry him at this unique and challenging venue.
