WGC-Dell Match Play final day preview
It’s Sunday at Austin Country Club and we’re down to only four golfers remaining in the 2021 WGC-Dell Match Play: 30-seed Scottie Scheffler, 31-seed Victor Perez, 32-seed Billy Horschel and 52-seed Matt Kuchar. The group of underdogs — none higher than the 30-seed in the 64-player tournament — are each looking for their first PGA Tour win in the 2021 season. Each wound up in the semifinal round on Sunday thanks to several days of high-caliber golf against many of the best players in the world.
The four players will each play two matches on Sunday. First, each will play a semifinal match in the morning (those matches are Kuchar-Scheffler and Horschel-Perez). The winners from each of those matches will go on to play in the championship match in the afternoon, while the losers will play in the third-place match.\
Scottie Scheffler is both the betting and hometown favorite heading into the final round of play. Scheffler attended college just down the road from Austin Country Club at the University of Texas and grew up in Dallas, but we’re betting the young Texan is more excited about the attention he’s drawn in Wisconsin this weekend. U.S. Ryder Cup captain Steve Stricker tweeted that he’d seen the young Texan’s performance against current World No. 3 Jon Rahm in the quarterfinals Saturday. In a few months’ time, Stricker will have to make a decision about captain’s picks for the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. As for Scheffler, the Dell could mark his first PGA Tour victory.
Below is the payout information, including winner’s share for the WGC-Dell Match Play’s $10.5 million purse; you can catch the action from 10:00-2:00 p.m. ET on Sunday on Golf Channel, and from 3-7:00 p.m. ET on NBC.
