Pat Perez is in Humble, TX this week coming off a T12th finish at last week's Zurich Classic in New Orleans. A top five finish was needed to crack the Top 50 in the World Golf Rankings, so The Masters appears to be out of reach for Perez... unless he can notch his first Tour victory this week at the Shell.

PGATour.com's T.J. Auclair seems to think this is the week Perez gets it done - again, picking him as his sleeper of the week. Auclair writes:

"I just love watching this guy play. He's gotten much better about playing with his emotions on his sleeve, but he's intense. Intensity, to me, equals someone who cares. I'm not saying Perez cares more about winning than his fellow competitors. What I am saying is that he's just too good not to have won yet. After a tie for 12th at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, he's clearly swinging it well. Don't be surprised if he sneaks up on the field in Houston."

Preach on, T.J.

Redstone G.C. is one of the longer courses on Tour and a hell of a warm up for next week's event in Augusta. It's a bombers course and one spot remains in the Masters' field if this week's winner isn't already in the field. The incentive is there for somebody and a 'W' is there for the taking.

Could this be the week? Tune in tomorrow when PP tees it up at 1:30pm local time.
