Viktor Hovland is #21 in the FedExCup rankings and is the only player to make all five cuts since the PGA restart. He played on this course a week ago and finished third at the Workday Charity Open at 15-under-par. That was his sixth consecutive tournament ranked #23 or better, and that doesn't include his winning the Puerto Rico Open in February at 20-under-par. Hovland is also ranked first in Tee-to-Green in three straight tournaments. And in the key metrics for this course, Hovland is eighth in approach to the green and #38 in total putting. By contrast, Brooks Koepka is #156 in the FedExCup rankings after missing the cut last week at one-under, shooting 76 and 69, and he returns to the same golf course. With a thicker rough, it's an even tougher challenge for Koepka, who ranks #163 in approach to the green. Take Viktor Hovland to win this head-to-head matchup.
