It's been hit-or-miss with Mackenzie Hughes this season....mostly miss. He's had three finishes in the Top 6, along with 10 missed cuts and finishes of #55, #83, #70, #44, and #58. And each time he had a strong tournament, he flopped in the next three, finishing #83, #48, and #44. Last week he was #13 at the Northern Trust. The Olympia Fields North Course is long with tight fairways, putting a premium on driving accuracy and tee-to-green stats. Hughes is ranked #158 in Driving Accuracy (57.32%), #156 in Strokes Gained Tee-to-Green. On some of these long holes, it helps to have power, but Hughes is #90 in Driving Distance. By contrast, Brian Harman is #59 in Driving Accuracy (64.00%) and #57 in Strokes Gained Tee-to-Green. And Harman comes off back-to-back strong showings, #27 at the Wyndham (10-under-par) and #11 last week at the Northern Trust (14-under-par). Back Brian Harman to win this head-to-head matchup for a Max Play.
