Rory McIlroy had a strong start to the season, but the coronavirus stoppage appears to have thrown him off his game. In three of his four appearances since the restart, he finished #41 once and #32 twice, including his last showing at the Memorial (four-over-par). McIlroy has slipped to #151 in Driving Accuracy Percentage and faces Jon Rahm, who is eighth in the FedExCup rankings with five Top 10 finishes this season. That includes four Top 3 finishes, including winning his last appearance at the Memorial two weeks ago. And Rahm is well-suited for the TPC Southwind course, ranked #39 in Approach-the-Green and fifth Off-the-Tee. Play Jon Rahm to win this head-to-head matchup.
