Xander Schauffele vs Rory Mcllory Prediction: It is tough to back either golfer

In day 3 action of the ongoing Wells Fargo Championship golf tournament, Xander Schauffele will play Rory Mcllory in a 2-ball round. Going into this game, the winning odds are even. Who wins this encounter?

Xander Schauffele is looking for his first PGA Tour win since 2022, following the Travelers Championship and Scottish Open just ahead of the 150th Open Championship. Since the start of the Wells Fargo championship, the American golfer has been excellent, and he knows he has to step up again even though he might not need a 64-67 in a 36-hole to win this tournament. With the golf data, Xander Schauffele has a 57 per cent chance of winning this tournament thanks to his four-shot lead.

Just like his opponent, Rory Mcllory, has been excellent in the first two days of this tournament. McIlroy shot a bogey-free three-under-par 68 at Quail Hollow, and he is just four shots off leader Xander Schauffele. On Friday, Rory McIlroy shot a faultless 18 holes with three birdies for a three-under par 67. At the moment, Rory Mcllory is one of the two golfers in the top 13 losing strokes with the putter, and only one golfer is ahead of him. Having won this tournament at this same venue three times, in 2010, 2015, and 2021, Northern Irish golfers hope to step up here and win another year.

These top golfers are expected to compete at the highest level. At the moment, we are witnessing solid performances from them, but Xander Schauffele is in the lead here and has a good chance of winning in what should be an intense game.
