Xander Schauffele is #95 in Driving Accuracy Percentage and finished #27 a year ago at the 2019 St. Jude Invitational. And with the Bermuda Greens on this course, note that Schauffele is currently #106 in Total Putting. None of those numbers will cut it when matched up against steady Webb Simpson, who is second in the FedExCup rankings with eight Top 10 finishes in his last 11 tournaments. That includes winning the RBC Heritage last month (22-under-par) and placing eighth at the Rocket Mortgage Classic (15-under-par) this month. Simpson is #11 in Approach-the-Green, #19 in Driving Accuracy Percentage, #14 in Greens in Regulation, and #11 in Total Putting. He has been one of the best Bermuda putters on the PGA Tour (ranking first over the last 50 rounds) and finished second in this tournament last year. Back Webb Simpson to win this head-to-head matchup.
