This is a matchup of power golfers. Cameron Champ has excellent driving distance, however, his Driving Accuracy Percentage is not good, ranked #154. Hitting it into the very thick rough will be a major challenge on this course. He's #48 in Total Driving, with a Driving Efficiency Rank of #187. Champ won the Safeway Open one year ago, but since then has been hit or miss, missing four cuts in his last 12 appearances alongside finishes of #67 and #65. That #65 finish was the BMW Championship two tournaments ago. Bubba Watson is not short on power, either, #10 in Driving Distance, #38 in Total Driving, and #33 in Strokes Gained Tee-to-Green. The Winged Foot golf course greens are mixed poa annua/bentgrass, and note that Watson is 33 spots higher in Total Putting than Champ, who is ranked #128. Back Bubba Watson to win this head-to-head matchup.
