Rory McIlroy Eying a Second US Open Victory This Week at Shinnecock
Following his defense at the Masters, Rory McIlroy hasn't played a whole lot of golf. However, he's been just as dominant in the three starts since, with finishes of T19, T7, and T12. No matter the limited number of competitive reps, he is still able to rank highly among his peers in strokes gained off the tee and on approach. Short game and putting have been the biggest losers in his long periods between starts, as he's lost strokes in two of his three starts since Augusta. Even though his ball striking is always elite enough to give him a chance, he's a wasted pick if he doesn't finish top 5 or better due to his inflated price tag, which seems like a bit of a stretch given his clear scale down in professional starts. It may be wiser to avoid his high ownership levels and price tag this time around, despite his ability to win any given week.
