Jon Rahm won the Memorial three weeks ago, the fifth time this season he's finished in the Top-10. He is #10 in the FedExCup rankings. This PGA Championship golf course has 47 bunkers and seven par-4s over 450 yards, and Rahm has the power and accuracy necessary, ranked #35 in Driving Distance, second in Total Driving, #45 in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green, seventh in Scoring Average (69.522), as well as #22 in Total Putting. He finished fourth at the 2018 PGA Championship. By contrast, Dustin Johnson is #115 in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green, #87 in Driving Accuracy Percentage (62.37%), #97 in Greens in Regulation, and #179 in Total Putting. And he's been over-par badly in two of his last three outings, including 16-over at The Memorial while missing the cut. Take Jon Rahm to win this head-to-head matchup.
