US Open - Long Shot?

[Deano]

Who's your longshot for the tournament then?

To clarify, I'm talking about someone who is outside of the top 30 world rankings http://www.pgatour.com/stats/stat.186.html

For me, I think either Lowry or Fitzpatrick will do well this week.

 

[Sox_Fan]

I'll throw out Bud Cauley and Ross Fisher

 

[emart2173]

Stricker, Snedeker, Matthew Fitzpatrick

 

[RNG]

Thomas Pieters!!

 

[ArmyGolf]

Adam Hadwin

 

[OhioGolfer]

Bryson DeChambeau

 

[anthony18_7]

I'll say Gary Woodland because of his length

 

[Deano]

Bryson DeChambeau

Will be interesting to see how he does this week, a few people are tipping him for first round leader.

Has a ton of experience at this course, should translate well.

Gotta go with Beef as my longshot here. Have him in fantasy because hes a high value pick and would love to see how the crowds act if he were in contention saturday and sunday

The crowd would go absolutely nuts. Would love to see him win a big tournament.

Thomas Pieters!!

He's inside the top 30 in the OWGR. OP was asking for someone outside of the top 30.

By that metric, give me Billy Horschel.

 

[RadNerfHerder]

My boy Will McGirt

Kevin Na because he's a whiny punk, definitely not mentally tough enough.

Real longshot - Bryson Dechambeau

Agreed, to see Beef do well would be great.

Was going to be mine too until I saw he moved up inside top 30

He'll fit in so well in Wisconsin I have to believe he will be a crowd favorite.

I'm hoping I can catch him after his round either Thursday or Friday for a selfie with my brother from another mother. That would make a great avatar / profile photo.

Could Phil Mickelson count as a long shot?

I would say so. He hasnt ever played the course. The first time seeing the first tee box would be the start of the tournament plus with all the travel bs he would have to deal with.

and it's a long shot he makes it anyway haha

I haven't spent much time looking at the course, but I wouldn't mind taking a shot at someone like Pat Perez.

 

[CobraX51]

I'll go Wesley Bryan for a dark horse

 

[Wakit300]

Long shot implies one player right? Billy Ho!

 

[ASN21]

Super long shot - Aaron Rai

I am rooting for him.

 

[rallo]

Depends what the weather does. I like Snedeker's game for this track. Also, ZJ has had an awful year, but if the weather turns and scores are higher... he has a knack for finding his putter in big events.

I'll throw out Bud Cauley and Ross Fisher

I'm a big Bud Cauley fan so I'm definitely pulling for this kid...
