Fleetwood Trending Towards Victory

In his last two events, Tommy Fleetwood entered the final day with a chance to earn his maiden title Stateside, as he was inside the top-five. A tough final day at the Players dropped him down the board, but at the Valspar, he wound up T-3rd.

He’s twice made the quarterfinals of this event, including in 2021, where he lost to eventual champion Billy Horschel. He’s in a group featuring Sungjae Im, Maverick McNealy and J.T. Poston. None of them have ever made it out of the group stage.

In his last twelve rounds on the PGA Tour, Fleetwood has ranked tenth in SG: tee-to-green, and eleventh in total strokes gained. He’s been solid in all key SG parameters during that time frame. His experience in the last two Ryder Cups will also be a boon for the Englishman.

Pick: Tommy Fleetwood to Win (+4500)

Corey Conners Thrives At This Course

After an inauspicious debut at the Match Play in 2021, Corey Conners was outstanding in 2022, making it all the way to the semi-finals. He won six of seven matches, where he wound up third by beating Dustin Johnson 3&1 in the consolation match.

For the campaign, he’s put together a solid run, with five top-25’s, though he hasn’t been phenomenal. For that reason, he finds himself as a +225 underdog in his group with Cameron Young (+150), Sepp Straka (+350), and Davis Thompson (+400).

Other than a runner-up at the American Express, Thompson hasn’t been better than 53rd in six other events in 2023. Straka is coming off a missed cut and a T-65 the last two tourneys. Cameron Young is the favorite but his best showing on the PGA Tour in his last eleven tournaments is a T-10th at Bay Hill.

Pick: Corey Conners To Win Group (+225)

WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play Head-To-Head Picks

1. Collin Morikawa (-165) to defeat Victor Perez (+140): Collin Morikawa comes into the tournament having played some fantastic golf in 2023. He’s put together a runner-up, a third place showing, a T-6th and a T-13th at the Players Championship. Last year, he made it out of the group stage, going 2-0-1. Following his victory to kick off 2023, Victor Perez has had three decent starts, but nothing in the top-10. He did make the semis here in 2021, but Morikawa is third in ball striking and fifth in total strokes gained the last 24 rounds.
2. Kevin Kisner (+140) to defeat Hideki Matsuyama (-165): An intriguing underdog play is that of Kevin Kisner to defeat Hideki Matsuyama. Kisner comes in with no form at all, while Matsuyama was fifth at the Players Championship. Something changes when Kisner gets to this track, however, as he’s made the final in three of the last four years (winning it in 2019). At Austin Country Club, he’s 22-7-1, where’s Matsuyama is far less accomplished at 5-8-2.
