Premium Pick

Tony Finau has plenty of power, but it was a subtle shift in his grip that allowed him to add some much-needed finesse to improve his accuracy. Finau put his right hand more underneath the grip and used a simple swing when the wind was picking up. It worked and he went on to win the 2016 Puerto Rico Open. He's had a terrific 2020, rising to No. 16 in the Official World Golf Ranking with three Top 10 finishes, including second in the Phoenix Open in February. His accuracy will come in handy at the Colonial Country Club in Texas, with its tight fairways, ample rough, and trees surrounding the winding Trinity River. Accuracy off the tee and precision shots are essential. Last week, Finau's ball-striking accuracy ranking was 49 out of 226 of the top golfers. That is a huge edge in this matchup versus 36-year Marc Leishman, whose ball-striking accuracy ranking is #189. Back Tony Finau to win this head-to-head match-up.
