Traveling outside the U.S. hasn't been so hot for Scottie Scheffler of late. He was No. 18 in the Canadian Open last month and finished No. 87 at the Scottish Open (5-over-par) last week. For this challenging course, Scheffler has some worrying metrics: No. 107 in Driving Accuracy Percentage, No. 111 in Total Putting. And if that poor Driving Accuracy Percentage puts him in some of the 112 bunkers, including a large bunker protecting the third green and a trio of bunkers in the center of the 13th fairway, Scheffler is No. 55 in Sand Save Percentage. Justin Thomas is seventh in the World Golf rankings, sixth in the FedEx Cup. In his last five outings, Thomas won the PGA Championship and was third at the Canadien Open. He's No. 14 in Driving Distance, No. 30 in Greens-in-Regulation, sixth in Strokes Gained-Approach the Green, No. 28 in Strokes Gained-Around the Green, seventh in Sand Save Percentage, plus No. 1 in Par 4 Scoring Average. And Thomas was 11th in the 2019 British Open. Play Justin Thomas to win this head-to-head matchup.
