This will be a pretty fascinating US. Open. I think the oddsmakers are right with Scheffler being the heavy favorite, and then Bryson after him. Oakmont is the ultimate test, and I don't see a lot of guys playing right now with the mental toughness to get through this course every day.
Who else can win?
- Rory completely fell apart at The Canadian Open. Massive swing failures on Friday. Maybe he just checked out, but that had to rattle him a little.
- Xander? He has the skills/mindset, but he needs to play a lot better than he has so far this season.
- I think playing on LIV tour has weakened Rahm mentally. I guess he could turn it around after competing at The Masters.
- I'm a big Aberg fan, but he's been so inconsistent
Some commentator said it recently and I agree...the harder the course, the better for Scottie. The fact that it's almost impossible to go low at Oakmont suppresses the chances of a lesser player catching fire and making a serious run.
