Dustin Johnson comes off a near-miss, finishing second at the PGA Championship two weeks ago. This Northern Trust course offers a different challenge with 64 bunkers, a lot of open ground, and fast greens. Johnson has three flaws that will hurt here. He is ranked #79 in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green, #39 in Sand Save Percentage (56.14%), and #144 in Total Putting. He doesn't match up well with Collin Morikawa, who is second in the FedExCup rankings after winning the PGA Championship. He also won the Workday Charity Open last month (18-under-par). For this course, Morikawa has key edges at second in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green and #22 in Total Driving. Play Collin Morikawa to win this head-to-head matchup for a Max Play.
