Denny McCarthy May Struggle At U.S. Open
3 months agoDenny McCarthy needed to open up The Memorial by making some putts. The American did not. He missed greens, some easy shots, and wound up with a 76. McCarthy rebounded but shot a 76 on Sunday to end up tied for 39th. Add in the 7,550 yards that is Pinehurst No. 2, and there is reason for concern. When one hits the greens just 60.1% of the time (172nd on tour), that can be a recipe for disaster. McCarthy needs to putt well (0.863 strokes gained -- second on the PGA) to have a chance to contend. The North Carolina golf course will play different than 1999 or 2005, which may impact McCarthy further.
