Tommy Fleetwood has missed the cut in three of his last five tournaments, along with a #46 showing at the Masters slipping to #119 in the FedEx Cup rankings. You need power and accuracy on this long Torrey Pines course, and Fleetwood is #87 in Driving Distance and #86 in Driving Accuracy. It also has narrow fairways and thick Kikuyu grass in the rough, and Fleetwood is #96 in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green. And with the fast Poa greens, he's just #118 in Total Putting. By contrast, Charley Hoffman is #28 in the FedEx Cup and has been playing great with nine Top 20 finishes in his last 12 appearances. He finished third at the Charles Schwab (10-under-par) two showings ago and second (16-under-par) at the Valero Open in April. Hoffman is ranked #26 in Driving Distance, #33 in Greens in Regulation, and sixth in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green. Take Charley Hoffman to win this head-to-head matchup.
