Phil Mickelson vs. Brendan Steele

Phil Mickelson has been mostly off this season, especially since the coronavirus PGA restart. In 11 of his last 13 tournaments, he's finished #125, #58, #54, and #71, while missing the cut six times. He's been even or over-par in nine of 12 outings. The Silverado Resort and Spa course is relatively short, putting a premium on power off the tee. The 50-year old Mickelson is #59 in Driving Distance, #174 in Driving Accuracy Percentage, and #148 in Total Driving. Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee and on Approach are two other key metrics, and Mickelson ranks #108 Off-the-Tee, #129 on Approach. Brendan Steele is 13 years younger with better power. He's #38 in Driving Distance, #34 in Total Driving, plus #16 in Strokes Gained on Approach. Steele is also on a nice roll, going under-par in four of his last six appearances. That included finishing sixth at the Travelers Championship (15-under-par) and #22 at the PGA Championship. Back Brendan Steele to win this head-to-head matchup.
