EXPERT WINNER Randy Chambers Jason Day

Sam Belden has made his pick and it is Rickie Fowler who he thinks will win the WGC Dell Match Play Championship this year. The Oklahoma State product is playing some of the best golf of his life, racking off six top-10 finishes in his last seven starts. Fowler has had some success in this particular format as well, nabbing three career top 10s here at the Match Play. With the form that he is in right now and his experience with this golf course, Fowler has an excellent chance of grabbing the championship this weekend.

Randy Chambers of Sports Chat Place has made his choice and it is Jason Day who he believes will win the WGC Dell Match Play Championship this week. He has been playing some spectacular golf of late, grabbing the victory in his last start at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He held off the strong challenge of Kevin Chappell to win the tournament by one shot.

What makes Day such an enticing pick is his solid all-around play. He’s currently seventh in birdie average, second in strokes gained: putting and eighth in the all-around ranking. That will be a major weapon for Day when he tackles the difficult Austin course this week.

EXPERT WINNER Adam Solowiei Jason Day

Adam Solowiei at the site Sports Unbiased is a big believer in Jason Day. He believes that Day is the hottest golfer on tour right now and he will carry that momentum this week at the Dell Match Play Championship. The Australian has four top-25s this year including an impressive victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week. Day also knows his way around this format as well as evidenced by his WGC Match Play win in 2014. It’s safe to say the world no. 3 will be a major threat to win the title this week.
