WIN

Jon Rahm is off a win at the Mexico Open after finishing No. 55 at THE PLAYERS and No. 27 at the Masters, over-par in both outings. In fact, he's been over-par in three of his last four tournaments. Rahm is #42 in Driving Accuracy Percentage, #154 in Strokes Gained Around-the-Green. Southern Hills golf course has challenging greens that flow away from the middle instead of funneling into them and Rahm is #135 in Total Putting. Meanwhile, Justin Thomas is #52 in Total Putting and his effective use of irons to get close to the pin will be a key asset. He's #13 in Driving Distance, fifth in Strokes Gained Approach-the-Green, fourth in Total Strokes Gained, and over his past 24 rounds he's fourth in Strokes Gained (+23.4). Thomas gained 7.4 strokes at Valspar, 5.4 at the Masters, and 4.6 at RBC Heritage. He's finished sixth, third, eighth, and fifth in four of his last six tournaments, and since 2017, Thomas has finished first, sixth, and No. 37 in the PGA Championship. Play Justin Thomas to win this head-to-head matchup.
