Drury and Laviolette Must Go
The venue is The Country Club. The defending champion is Jon Rahm. The Country Club has hosted the US Open three times before, 1913, 1963, and 1988.
Agreed with Scottie to win. My dark horse is Louis Oosthuizen....I guess if I had to pick just one guy I'd go Scheffler to win again...
Morikawa said yesterday that he can't cut the ball right now. Given that 1-2 yard cut is his go-to elite skill, I'd be surprised if he contended. Doesn't have a top 20 in his last four starts, and MC in his last event. He could find it this week, but it seems like he recognizes that he's completely off right now.It seems like Greens in Regulation is a key stat this week due to small greens you don't want to miss. The top 10 in that this year are Rahm, Scheffler, Knox, Conners, Burns, Zalatoris, Pereira, Im, Power, Matsuyama and Pendrith. Thomas is 14th, Schauffele is 16th, Horschel is a decent 25th. Rahm, Im, Connors and Horschel are the players on that list in top 50 for driving accuracy with Horschel at 10th. Morikawa was 5th in greens in regulation and 10th in driving accuracy last year to 33rd in greens in regulation and 21st this year so if he plays good he'd be a fit for the course and might be good betting value
He’s putting brilliantly and hitting some nice wedge shots, but not driving it that great and struggling with his short game. Complete opposite of a normal round for him.Rory having a good first round at a major is kind of a scary proposition. Will be very interesting to see how he does now that he doesn't have to play catch-up for the remaining 54.
If he wins, he's gonna replace Chris Evans and become the (Northern) Irish Captain America.He’s putting brilliantly and hitting some nice wedge shots, but not driving it that great and struggling with his short game. Complete opposite of a normal round for him.
We can only hope the meltdown continues. The biggest phony on tour based on his public persona and his real self.Meltdown from Phil incoming? I could see him hit 90 or something at this point. Just brutal putting there.
Those LIV guys are on the beach. Look at Oosthuisen. +7 last I checked. He’s usually great at majors. Probably hasn’t touched a club once outside of the rounds he has to play now that the Saudi checks are cashing.Meltdown from Phil incoming? I could see him hit 90 or something at this point.
