2022 Charles Schwab Challenge rankings: Top 10 expert picks

1. Scottie Scheffler: Scheffler couldn't handle the bad side of the draw at Southern Hills and went packing. Unfortunate situation, but he should be fine this week.

2. Justin Thomas: JT is probably gassed after winning the PGA on Sunday, but he's been having a tremendous, consistent season.

3. Jordan Spieth: Spieth struggled at Southern Hills despite some tremendous driving and decent ballstriking. Maybe got too hot too soon?

4. Collin Morikawa: Morikawa was never in the equation at the PGA Championship, and that's not entirely surprising given the emphasis on short game and his, well, relative skills.

5. Will Zalatoris: Zalatoris has been on the tough end of two big playoffs this year, and I'm sure it will sting. Still, he knows he's good enough to win a major, and that has to feel good.

6. Mito Pereira: Speaking of pain. That was tough, but Pereira's finish at Southern Hills was the downside of a day in which he held a share of the lead for 17 holes. He'll come back from this.

7. Abraham Ancer: I really liked the way Ancer played at Southern Hills, and it shows that length isn't much of an issue for a quality ballstriker like him.

8. Sam Burns: Burns had a T-20 at the PGA after a couple of surprising MCs. He should be a solid play this week.

9. Kevin Na: Na is a past champion here, and he seems to be playing well enough to sneak in another win here.

10. Kevin Kisner: Kisner is a fellow past Colonial winner, but he hasn't really done anything here in five years.
