It's been a frustrating season for Francesco Molinari after finishing 88th in his last outing at the PGA Championship (7 over par). Molinari is 166th in the FedEx Cup and 129th in the World Golf Rankings. Accuracy is essential at Muirfield Village Golf Club and he ranks 87th in Driving Accuracy Percentage. And his power is far worse, 164th in Total Driving and 262nd in Longest Drives. He's also 119th in Total Strokes Gained, 132nd in Strokes Gained Around the Green, 175th in Greens in Regulation, 174th in Sand Save Percentage, 81st in Total Putting, and 196th in Par 5 Birdie or Better. Veteran Stewart Cink finished 34th in his last tournament three weeks ago at the Byron Nelson Classic (13 under par). He finished 21st at the Sony Open and hit his highest FedEx Cup mark just two years ago at No. 1. He also had a pair of Top 10 finishes last season and two victories in 2021, the Safeway Open and the RBC Heritage. He still has very good power, ranked 32nd in Driving Distance. Iron play is a key on this course and Cink made a hole-in-one with a 6-iron last weekend. Play Stewart Cink to win this head-to-head matchup.
