The third major championship of the year kicks off on Thursday morning at Oakmont Country Club. There’s going to be an unprecedented amount of carnage, and we can’t wait, to be honest. If we don’t see something near 90, what are we even doing here?
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler enters the week as the heavy favorite, and for obvious reasons. I was going to list out everything about his season and where his game is at, but I think people know the deal. It’s Scottie, a ginormous gap, Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau, and then everybody else. If you don’t agree, argue with a wall.
Anyway, we wanted to make sure that you’re aware of every player in the field.
The field now includes Ryan Fox who, after winning the RBC this weekend moved his Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) up 43 spots to a cool No. 32. Players within the top 60 earn exemptions into the U.S. Open. This will be Fox's seventh U.S. Open.
The close of play at TPC Toronto also cemented Cameron Young and Bud Cauley's spots in the field and status within the top 60 best golfers in the world list (Nos. 56 and 58 respectively).
