Why he ll win: I know, we ve been down this road before with Xander. One of these majors he is going to win, and this course sets up nicely for his ballstriking. Schauffele is second in shots gained overall and 14th tee-to-green. Just as importantly, he is eighth in putting and 19th in greens in regulation. He comes in with a T11 and T14 following his T3 at Augusta, which was his seventh top-6 finish in 15 career major appearances. He s due.

Why he ll win: Rory has none of the baggage he carries into Augusta (he needs a win there to complete the career Grand Slam). He is coming off a very good win in Charlotte. With light wind forecast for the tournament, his driver prowess will be on full display along with a confidence in the putter he hasn t had in a while. It won t be easy, but McIlroy will join Gene Sarazen and Sam Snead as a three-time winner of this major championship. Hello, history!
