Rickie Fowler Might Get Early Boost at Shinnecock
Rickie Fowler will enjoy an early tee time at the US Open. The American golfer tees off on Thursday at 7:41 am ET. Fowler may have to turn back the clock to 2018 where he netted a Top 20. What the golfer did was to scale back his swing a little. This impacted his accuracy then (-8% to average) but it allowed him to approach the rough better. Setting up for better approach shots then boosted his strokes gained on approach to 1.45. Fast forward to 2026 where the last two tournaments have been disastrous for Fowler. He missed the cut badly at the Memorial losing 5.99 strokes gained. It may have been his worst event in years. Despite this, it may be time to ponder him for Thursday DFS purposes.
