Scottie Scheffler Coming Off Second Win of His Season as FedEx Cup Playoffs Continue
It really is amazing what Scottie Scheffler is capable of when he makes putts the way he should from inside 10 feet. This past week in Memphis was actually the best statistical putting performance of his career, gaining nearly nine strokes with the flat stick through the four days. The lack of stress this victory had after a 61 in Friday's second round should keep him sharp enough for his upcoming start at Bellerive. Scheffler wasn't in the field for the 2018 PGA Championship, but he undoubtedly does just about anything as well, if not better, than anyone else in the field. If the putting carries over from TPC Southwind, there is little reason to doubt he won't find his way into the conversation again this week.

Aaron Rai Hoping the Putter Cooperates at TPC Southwind
Aaron Rai bounced back from back-to-back missed cuts with a T29 finish at the Wyndham Championship. He now turns to the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he has four finishes of T26 or better in six trips to TPC Southwind. Historically, Rai has struggled on the greens here, losing more than 8.8 strokes putting over his last two appearances. His putting has not been much better this season, ranking 98th while losing -0.046 strokes per round. He has been strong in other key areas, ranking 23rd on approach (+0.448) and third in driving accuracy. He is also in the 66th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that accounted for 41.8% of all approach shots here last year. Rai's precision gives him plenty of upside, but his putting could keep him from making a serious run at the top of the leaderboard.

Hideki Matsuyama Brings Elite Form to FedEx St. Jude Championship
Hideki Matsuyama has been in elite form recently, recording five straight results of T14 or better, including three straight top-seven finishes. He looks to keep it rolling at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he has three T17 or better finishes, including a win in 2024. Success at TPC Southwind relies on precision on approach and off the tee, areas that fit Matsuyama's game well. He ranks 28th on approach (+0.423 strokes per round), sixth around the green (+0.434), and 71st in driving accuracy. He has also been elite in key ranges, ranking 11th in proximity from 150-175 yards (25'10") and 18th from 175-200 yards (31'3"), areas that accounted for more than 41% of all approach shots here last year. Matsuyama is in great form and offers event-winning upside at $9,000 on DraftKings.

Justin Rose a Boom-or-Bust Option at TPC Southwind
Justin Rose has not teed it up since The Open Championship and has been the definition of boom-or-bust this season, recording seven top-25 finishes and six results of T65 or worse in 15 events. He now turns to the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he won last year at TPC Southwind. Success here relies on precision over raw power, which plays to Rose's strengths. He ranks 19th on approach (+0.495 strokes per round), 66th in driving accuracy, and is in the 89th percentile in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that accounted for 41.8% of all approach shots here last year. Rose has a history of elevating his game in big events, but at $8,000 on DraftKings, he remains a play-at-your-own-risk option.
