It's been two weeks since Collin Morikawa finished second to Patrick Cantlay at the Memorial in a duel that included one extra playoff hole. So is Morikawa primed to win the U.S. Open...or suffer a letdown? He doesn't match up well for this course ranked #125 in Driving Distance, #83 in Strokes Gained Around-the-Green. And for these ultra-fast poa greens, Morikawa is just #129 in Total Putting. He's matched up against Justin Thomas, who won THE PLAYERS Championship and is currently fourth in the FedEx Cup. Thomas should excel at Torrey Pines ranked second in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green, #20 in Strokes Gained Around-the-Green, fifth in Eagles, #17 in Par 4's Gained from 450-500 Yards. Play Justin Thomas to win this head-to-head matchup.
