BRIAN WACKER Staff Writer	Rickie Fowler Hideki Matsuyama Henrik Stenson Justin Thomas	Henrik Stenson	I was tempted to go with Fowler -- he tied for third here in 2013 and scores well on par 5s -- but Stenson's form is too good. The Swede has two straight fourth-place finishes and in his last three trips to Bay Hill hasn't finished outside the top 15.
