The author makes an appeal to authority by stating that Hideki Matsuyama is the most trustworthy player among the leaders due to his excellent short game and past major championship win. This statement is not based on any evidence or facts about the current performance of other players, but rather on the author's opinion.
I'm going to go with Hideki Matsuyama, who is looking to win his second major championship after he captured his first at the 2021 Masters. He won against an elite field at the Genesis Invitational in February and is more than capable of doing it again.
If conditions are going to get more difficult, and Pinehurst No. 2 is going to get browner and firmer on the weekend, I’ll trust the guy who knows how to get up and down from just about anywhere.

The article contains several instances of appeals to authority and dichotomous depictions. The author repeatedly mentions the names of golfers who missed the cut and their current world rankings, implying that their high rankings make it more significant that they missed the cut. This is an appeal to authority fallacy as it suggests that a golfer's ranking determines the importance or significance of missing the cut. Additionally, there are several dichotomous depictions in the article such as 'biggest names' and 'highest-ranked players', which oversimplify and create false distinctions between golfers based on their rankings. No formal fallacies were found.
The biggest name on the cut line was World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
At No. 5 in the world ranking, he'll be the highest-ranked player to not make the cut.
