Sam Burns/Scottie Scheffler (-180 on DraftKings Sportsbook) vs. Cam Davis/Sung-Jae Im
While we already knew Scottie Scheffler was among the best players on the planet in stroke play, is matchplay record is even more impressive. Coming into the week, the world #1 is 11-2-2 in match play, significantly better than the next closest player in the field. His teammate, Sam Burns, will be making his match play debut but does come into this event off of three straight top 25s to finish.
As for Im and Davis, Im has a matchplay record of 3-4, while Davis will be making his debut in this event. While Im is clearly their only hope of winning this match, he’s struggled here at Quail Hollow, failing to make the cut in his 2021 appearance.
Tony Finau/Max Homa (-170 on DraftKings Sportsbook) vs. Taylor Pendrith/Mito Pereira
A winner here at the Wells Fargo Championship in 2019, Max Homa is one of only two (JT) players in this field with a career victory at Quail Hollow. Homa also comes into this event the hottest player on the planet, winning the PGA Tour’s first event of the year last week at the Fortinet Championship. As for his teammate, Tony Finau is coming in off a stellar 2021 season, the best yet of his career.
As for the international team, both Pendrith and Pereira will be in unchartered territory today, both making their professional matchplay debuts. They also have just one combined appearance at Quail Hollow, a 2018 missed cut by Pereira.
While the odds are steam, I think the Americans should be favored by more than -200 in this matchup.
