Shane Lowry is #123 in the FedExCup rankings after missing the cut in four of his last nine tournaments, all since the PGA restart. He is short on power at #76 in Driving Distance, #57 in Total Driving, #60 in Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee, and #42 on Approach. That will hurt on a course like this with fast, narrow fairways where the longest par 4 is just 456 yards. Sergio Garcia is on a better run, finishing #35 or better in four of six tournaments, including fifth at the RBC Heritage (19-under-par). He has a big edge in power with his matchup, ranked #27 in Driving Distance (305.8 yards) and #13 in Total Driving. And Garcia is a stellar third in Strokes Gained Off-the-Tee. Take Sergio Garcia to win this head-to-head matchup.
