HARTFORD, WI – JUNE 15: Alexander Levy of France plays his shot from the 16th tee during the first round of the 2017 U.S. Open at Erin Hills on June 15, 2017 in Hartford, Wisconsin. (Photo by Ross Kinnaird/Getty Images) /

How will the fiery Lévy handle playing in front of his home faithful? This guy feeds off the gallery’s energy like none other. Can he reign it in to channel the success that led to recent wins at the China Open and the Porsche European Open?

As the highest-ranked Frenchman in the field, he’ll be receiving lots of love. Lévy could only muster a T-56 in 2016 and a missed cut in 2015 at this tournament the last two seasons. A rough weekend submarined Lévy here in 2016, but he’s since become a revitalized player as demonstrated by his high Race to Dubai rank this season.

Before missing the cut at the U.S. Open (as so many on this list did), Lévy made eight cuts in a row, including two top-10s to go with his win in China.

There are plenty more talented players to choose from, but if you want a sentimental pick this week, Lévy is a lot of fun to root for and will be fired up this week.
