This is a fascinating matchup as these guys finished one-two last week. Brooks Koepka may have won the last two PGA Championships, but Justin Thomas is having a dominant season, ranked No. 1 in the FedExCup. He has a remarkable 10, Top-10 finishes this season, including winning the Sentry Tournament of Champions (14-under-par), the C.J. Cup (20-under-par), and last week's St. Jude Invitational (13-under-par). Throw in third-place at the Phoenix Open, fourth-place in the Safeway Open, and a second-place finish at the Workday Charity Open four weeks ago, and he deserves that No. 1 ranking. On the key metrics for this course, Thomas is second in Scoring Average (69.001), #57 in Driving Distance, #24 in Greens in Regulation, and third in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green. The up-and-down Koepka is #140 in Greens in Regulation, #137 in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green, and #94 in Total Driving. He missed the cut in two of four tournaments last month and is just #96 in the FedExCup rankings. Take Justin Thomas to win this head-to-head matchup.
