Big predictions for 2017

The first tournament of 2017 is in the books, and it was a surprisingly great one. I say "surprisingly" not because it didn't include a great field, but because tournaments with just 32 golfers are rarely as compelling as this one was up until the very end on Sunday evening as Justin Thomas took down Hideki Matsuyama by three strokes.
Tournaments like this one rarely deliver two of the best young stars of the next generation trading daggers down the back nine of such a picturesque landscape like Hawaii.
