Lucas Herbert is off a good showing at The Open Championship, but in his two prior outings stumbled at No. 73 in the Scottish Open (4 over-par) and No. 144 in the U.S. Open (13 over-par). He's at No. 49 in the World Golf rankings. Herbert has poor stats for the key metrics needed on the TPC Southwind golf course ranked #53 in Driving Distance, #190 in Driving Accuracy Percentage, #204 in Greens-in-Regulation, and #202 in Strokes Gained Approach-The-Green. Troy Merritt is also off a strong outing finishing No. 14 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, finishing in the Top 30 in two of his last three tournaments. He's #49 in Driving Accuracy Percentage and 88 points higher than Herbert in Strokes Gained Approach-The-Green. Take Troy Merritt to win this head-to-head matchup.
