AT&T National Matchups
GARY WOODLAND vs. NICK WATNEY
Woodland and Watney are both inside the top 10 in the FedExCup standings -- which one will win this Matchup and earn more points?
K.J. CHOI vs. ADAM SCOTT
These PLAYERS champions will likely be Presidents Cup teammates this year in Scott's native Australia. Get an insider's look at this Matchup on Wednesday at PGATOUR.COM.
HARRISON FRAZAR vs. JEFF OVERTON
Overton's on the short list of best young players without a win, while Frazar picked up his first TOUR victory in 358 starts at the FedEx St. Jude Classic.
JUSTIN ROSE vs. VIJAY SINGH
Both have three top-10s on the season and are in the top 40 in FedExCup points, but only one (Rose) is the defending champion at AT&T National.
BILL LUNDE vs. CHARLEY HOFFMAN
The intriguing matchup-within-the-Matchup: Lunde is ahead of his good friend and fellow UNLV grad Hoffman by one shot in the $1 million Kodak Challenge, which also continues at Aronimink.
