US Open: The Statistical Rankings
There will be a lot of forced layups, so players are going to have to scramble to save par and bogey.
Minimizing mistakes is the name of the game at the US Open.
Seven of the last eight US Open winners made the fewest bogeys in the entire tournament.
Brooks Koepka won the US Open in 2017 by making the second-fewest bogeys and he only made five for the entire tournament.
The course will play tough so the model will account for strokes gained: total adjusted for difficult scoring conditions.
Players must realize that they will put themselves in positions where bogey is a good score.
They will need to take their medicine and not compound their mistakes.
Lastly, and only because it’s a major, putting on fast greens will be factored in. These stats will account for a player’s last 36 rounds.
