Denny McCarthy May Struggle At U.S. Open
10 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.
