Speaking of Tiger, the year-old certainly could win, and based on his vigorous prep, he thinks he can. Instead, we'll just ask him to play all four rounds. If he does, he'll beat DeChambeau , who's more likely to be flustered by St. Andrews' intricacies than he is to overpower the Old Course.
Reed was last seen playing Pumpkin Ridge, so I'll fade his preparation for what can be a frustrating course for the unprepared. Simpson and his caddie, Paul Tesori, will know the optimum routes to get from tee to green, and the now-healthy veteran's lack of length won't hurt him like it does on the big major tournament courses stateside.
English returned from injury in time for the U. Since struggling at the event, he's made three cuts, including the Scottish Open. Munoz missed the cut last week, as he did in , and has limited links golf experience. Donaldson has all the links golf experience needed and played his way into the tournament thanks to a big week at The Renaissance.
The former Ryder Cupper has more pedigree than Bland , who's cashed in late in his career. Look for Donaldson to make the cut as part of his recent grind. Even at his shakiest, Rahm manages to float up leaderboards by Sunday afternoons, so we'll trust him - along with regular contenders Schauffele and Fitzpatrick - to finish in the top As for those priced at plus-money, Fleetwood and Rose are capable of making a run on the Old Course, while the year-old Kim , who finished third last week after almost getting in the top 20 at Brookline, could make a name for himself this week.
Poston lit up a near opposite course at the John Deere Classic, which is always a good reason to fade someone coming over for the trials of links golf. We faded Hovland at the Scottish Open, and he missed the cut. He's always had questionable decision-making, so with the number of bunkers in play, a big number could loom. Sure, basically all Zalatoris does in majors is contend, so it'd seem like a bad idea to fade him.
However, like his missed cut last week, he might end up chalking this up to a learning experience, since figuring out where pins are and where the ball needs to land is a drastically different exercise in Scotland. Scheffler had his big run at the start of the season, but his form has waned just enough to make the prospect of fading him not completely terrifying.
One good round is all we need from a group of players who, outside of McIlroy, are unlikely to sustain dominance for four rounds. Even the Northern Irishman hasn't put all four rounds together in a while, so maybe his big round comes early at the home of golf.
