Aaron Rai May Have Challenges at Royal Birkdale
Aaron Rai comes into the Open Championship with a wayward putter. The English golfer lost more than two strokes last week to putting at the Genesis Scottish Open. As a result, he missed the cut. Rai also suffered from a lack of length on drives (-16.6 yards below average). The 7,223-yard, Par-70 Royal Birkdale could present some unique challenges for Rai. Too often, his putts per round are near 30. (29.67 - 147th overall). Rai showed at the PGA Championship and even US Open that he can put together rounds at majors. However, links golf has been a mixed bag for the Englishman (T-19 best in 2021). He may be a golfer too volatile for DFS lineups this week.
