Just like Matt Kuchar beat Sergio Garcia in the WGC-Match Play quarterfinals, Kuchar gets the nod over Garcia for the fourth spot in this week’s Canadian Open power rankings.

The machine is due for repair as his missed cut last week at the Memorial was his first weekend off since the 2018 PGA Championship. That won’t deter me from thinking he’ll get back on the horse. His play was very solid prior.

Kuchar is a two-time Tour winner this season (Mayakoba, Sony), a solo runner up at the Match Play and RBC Heritage and went T26-T7-T12-2-T8 prior to his struggles at Jack’s place.

Kuchar is among those who have played Hamilton in competition when he finished T34 (67-69-68-70) in 2012.

He ranks 12th on Tour in total strokes gained, 15th tee to green and 80th or better in every category.

Kuchar is very accurate to avoid the little trouble that awaits at Hamilton and is first on Tour hitting nearly three out of four (73.15%).

He’s fourth in par-4 scoring.

Kuchar has only missed two cuts in a row once since 2011 and I like him to bounce back this week at the Canadian Open.
