The Match pool picks
Will The Match end before Hole 12?
Yes
No
It’s very possible one of these guys does not acclimate well to the unusual format of playing pressure-packed while commentators are chirping in your ear. And that’s before the chirping you’re likely to hear from your opponent. One shines and one likely wilts, but we’ll see.
Who will have the better 8th Hole score?
Bryson DeChambeau
Brooks Koepka
Tie / Any other outcome
The 8th is actually the 9th hole normally, which is a Par 4 at 464 yards. With the length both these players have, that’s a drive and a flip-wedge. The math says they’ll likely split the putting contest on the green.
Who will hit the longer tee shot on Hole 10?
Bryson DeChambeau
Brooks Koepka
Koepka is one of the longest hitters ever on the PGA Tour. DeChambeau is the longest hitter in the history of the PGA Tour. As good as Koepka is with the 1-wood, he’s found an adversary that’s patently absurd with a drive in his hand. Brooks certainly can win this with his tee-to-green game, but the longer hitter is DeChambeau by a decent margin.
