The Country Club is a long, challenging course with plenty of hills, doglegs, and blind shots, putting a premium on Greens-in-Regulation and Approach-the-Green. Over the last five tournaments, Jon Rahm won the Mexico Open but also had finishes of No. 55, No. 27, and No. 48. For this long course, his Driving Accuracy Percentage ranks No. 46 while his Approach-the-Green ranking is No. 22. In addition, the tiny greens are as just as challenging as the fairways with ample slope and Rahm is currently No. 86 in Total Putting. Rory McIlroy is No. 4 in the FedEx Cup rankings after winning the Canadian Open last week, his sixth Top 10 finish in 11 outings this season. He's third in Driving Distance, No. 20 in Approach-the-Green, and No. 1 in scoring average. Play Rory McIlroy to win this head-to-head matchup.
