TPC Sawgrass is a relatively short golf course so power is not essential. That's a plus for 44-year-old Kevin Streelman. However, it's a tricky course with water on 17 holes, so golfers have to be patient with outstanding accuracy and short-game skills. That doesn't work in Streelman's favor, ranked 76th in Driving Accuracy Percentage, 133 in Total Strokes Gained, 161st in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green, and 85th in Sand Save percentage. Streelman has slipped to 158th in the World Golf Rankings after finishing 73rd at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, 50th at the Genesis, and 96th at the Phoenix Open. He hasn't been under par in six consecutive outings. Meanwhile, Scott Piercy is 45th in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green and 26th in Strokes Gained Around-the-Green. He's also been playing very well in his three appearances tying Streelman for 50th at the Genesis, plus finishing 33rd in the Phoenix Open, and 21st last week at the Puerto Rico Open. Take Scott Piercy to win this head-to-head matchup - Max Play.
