Many eyes will be on Rory McIlroy after winning the Zurich Classic his last time out. He didn't fare well on this course a year ago, though, finishing 47th (one over par). McIlroy is 20th in Total Strokes Gained, 21st in Tee-to-Green, 118th in Strokes Gained Around the Green, 87th in Strokes Gained Putting, 51st in Birdie or Better Percentage, and 56th in Total Putting. Due to the difficulty and length of this course with its tree-lined parklands and twisting fairways, golfers must scramble when needed and McIlroy ranks 43rd in Scrambling. Xander Schauffele is third in the FedEx Cup and fourth in the World Golf Rankings with seven Top 10 finishes in 11 tournaments. He's third in Total Strokes Gained, third in Tee-to-Green, and 10th Off-the-Tee. Schauffele is also sixth in Total Driving, 35th in Driving Accuracy Percentage, fifth in Scrambling, 11th in Birdie or Better Percentage, and 24th in Total Putting. Schauffele finished second in the Wells Fargo Championship last year. Play Xander Schauffele to take this head-to-head matchup as a Max Play.
