Hideki Matsuyama
- Top 20 (-110)
- Top 10 (+190)
- Top 5 (+360)
- To win (+1600)
In strokes gained from the tee to the green, the 2021 Masters champion is ahead of the pack. Hideki Matsuyama has improved his tee-to-green and ball-striking skills in eight of his previous nine competitions. His five top-20 finishes after missing two cuts in early March include a single fifth in The Players Championship and a T13 result in last week’s Travelers Championship.
Deki ranks seventh in strokes gained on accessible courses and fifteenth in the percentage of strokes gained with a birdie or better, which is helpful given that Detroit Golf Club is prone to some poor scoring. Because he has previously belonged to Team No Putt, his putting is usually an issue.
There is space for development and a chance for an unanticipated breakout because Matsuyama has improved his putting stroke total in five of his previous nine competitions—a mark worse than Deki’s usual baseline.
With a T13 in 2019 and a T21 in 2020, Deki is among the few golfers with a consistent and robust course history in Detroit. In the opening round 2021, Matsuyama had a two-under score but was forced to retire due to a positive COVID-19 test.
Deki is the fifth-best ball striker on the pitch, so taking a chance on him in the top-20 market makes sense. The odds of +1600 to win are also worth grabbing if he just so happens to hit the flat stick, much as he did last year when he scored seven strokes putting to win the Sony Open.
