Webb Simpson is third in the FedExCup rankings with nine Top 12 finishes in 13 tournaments this season. That includes winning the RBC Heritage in June (22-under-par) and placing eighth at the Rocket Mortgage Classic (15-under-par) last month. Simpson is seventh in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green, #17 in Off-the-Tee Fairway Percentage, #31 in Driving Accuracy, and fourth in Birdie Average and Scoring Average (69.093). This course has Bermuda greens, and Simpson has been one of the best Bermuda putters on the PGA Tour, currently ranked #10 in Total Putting. Brooks Koepka had to deal with a lot of media coverage and pressure last week as he was trying to win the PGA Championship for the third straight time. He fell short, finishing #29 because of scores of 69 and 74 over the weekend. Koepka hasn't participated in the Wyndham Championship the last three years and rates poorly in the key accuracy metrics necessary, ranking #196 in Off-the-Tee Fairway Percentage and #79 in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green. Back Webb Simpson to win this head-to-head matchup for a Max Play.
