The Open Championship
Golfers I Am Overweight On
Rory McIlroy – I’m a sucker for McIlroy in these big events, and that’s not going to stop this week. His statistical profile remains outstanding, with elite ranks in ball striking (13th), par four scoring (3rd), strokes gained around the green (21st), and total driving (19th). He has ten top ten finishes over his last 13 worldwide starts. The overall ability is right there as perhaps the best golfer on Tour right now, but he hasn’t turned that ability into major wins lately. It’s coming. One of these times, he will put four rounds together and win himself another major. He is my preferred first round selection no matter what pick slot I draw.
Hideki Matsuyama – Hideki is a cut making, ball striking ATM machine who makes cuts everywhere he goes. There’s a super safe floor with him, and he’s one of the better picks in the 8-10 overall range. His steady game should keep him out of the trouble that lurks all around Royal Portrush, and he’s a great pick on any DRAFT roster.
