Sepp Straka had a hot start to the season but has slipped to No. 43 in the World Golf Rankings after finishes of No. 148 at The Open Championship, No. 109 at the Scottish Open, and No. 125 at the U.S. Open. It's hard to see him turning that slide around as he's weak in the essential metrics for this course at #170 in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green, #150 in Tee-to-Green play, and #85 in Hit Fairway Percentage. In addition, Straka is #104 in Driving Accuracy Percentage and #103 in Greens-in-Regulation. Meanwhile, Tony Finau is fifth in Greens-in-Regulation and seventh in both Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green and Tee-to-Green play. Finau has moved up to No. 14 in the World Golf Rankings after a sizzling month winning the Rocket Mortgage Classic and the 3M Open, along with finishing No. 28 at the BMW Championship and fifth at the St. Jude Championship. And he's done well on this course finishing No. 15 at the 2018 Tour Championship, seventh in 2019, and No. 11 last year. Take Tony Finau to win this head-to-head matchup.
