NEUTRAL -1
Edge is PURE course-fit play (+0.281 Spieth vs +0.082 Lowry) with NEGATIVE skill gap (-0.209 SG/round to Spieth); expected finish near-equal (82 vs 81) confirms matchup is essentially coin-flip.

- Skill differential: -0.209 SG/round (Spieth WORSE on fundamentals)
- Expected finish: Spieth 82 vs Lowry 81 (1-stroke gap)
