Augusta National was already tough and they've added 40 yards to the fifth hole, making it a par 4 close to 500 yards. Golfers need a strong shot off the tee, as well as Strokes Gained Distance off the Tee. 50-year old Phil Mickelson is ranked #179 in the FedExCup and #56 in Driving Distance. Last season he was #108 in Strokes Gained Distance off the Tee and since September in four appearances for the 2020-21 season he's ranked #269. In those four recent tournaments, he's missed the cut twice while finishing #44 and #76. Cameron Champ is 25 years younger with plenty of power, currently fourth in Driving Distance (326 yards) after ranking second last season (322). He's also #32 in Strokes Gained Distance off the Tee after ranking second last season. He finished #10 at the PGA Championship in August and eighth in his last tournament three weeks ago at the Zozo Championship. Take Cameron Champ to win this head-to-head matchup.
