Tony Finau has the power for a long course like this, but accuracy is needed for the tight fairways and thick rough, and Finau is #192 in Driving Accuracy (53.70%), which is why he's #105 in Total Driving. He's also #88 in Total Putting and has struggled in two of his last three outings, finishing #65 in the St. Jude Invitational and missing the cut last week. He's matched up with a golfer who has far fewer flaws during a stellar campaign. Patrick Reed is #10 in the FedExCup rankings, going even or under-par in 10 straight tournaments, as well as ninth in the Official World Golf Ranking. And in the key metric for this course, Reed has been ranked #24 and #25 the last two weeks in Strokes Gained Tee-to-Green. Back Patrick Reed to win this head-to-head matchup.
