Rickie Fowler vs. Xander Schauffele

Rickie Fowler is #151 in the FedExCup rankings, off a #57 finish at the Zozo Championship. He has average power, which won't help this weekend, #50 in Driving Distance, #105 in Driving Accuracy, #69 in Strokes Gained Distance off the Tee. Last season he was #66 in Strokes Gained Distance off the Tee. And on these speedy bentgrass greens, keep in mind Fowler has been #62 in Total Putting in each of the last two seasons. Fowler is also #23 in the World Golf Rankings after being #47 last season, while Xander Schauffele is currently ninth after ranking seventh last season, as well as #11 in the FedExCup. Schauffele is in his prime at age 27 and playing like it, finishing fifth (U.S. Open), second (C.J. Cup), and #17 (Zozo) in three tournaments to open this year. He's been 18 and 17 under-par in his last two appearances. In one of the key metrics for Augusta National, Schauffele was eighth in Strokes Gained Distance off the Tee last season, plus has ranked #32 and #15 the last two years in Total Putting. And he finished second to Tiger Woods in the 2019 Masters Tournament. For my second Masters Max Play, take Xander Schauffele to win this head-to-head matchup.
