Collin Morikawa One Of The Heavy Favorites At U.S. Open For Good Reason
3 months agoIt is a strong argument to say Collin Morikawa is the best player on the planet without a win in the last two-and-a-half months. He was the only player that gave Scheffler a scare this past week at The Memorial Tournament down the final few holes, and really, he's knocked on the door at almost every event he's played in since a T3 at Augusta. The world no. seven has averaged +1.203 strokes gained on approach and +0.986 strokes gained off the tee over his last three starts. Impeccable ball striking has been a focal point for most of his career, but the strong chipping and putting is not. His success with the flat stick has only flourished as of late, but the 10th ranking for the season in strokes gained around the green (+0.397) suggests this may be an added strength that will be heavily needed this week at Pinehurst #2. Consider Morikawa as a strong option at $11,300 on FanDuel.
