The US Open is set to be one of the most ‘wide open’ tournaments of the past 10 years and a shift in control at the top of the world ranking might see the media circling around the top Europeans rather than the Americans!
However many Americans are in contention, Ricky Fowler the confidence man for one, with his orange onesy and attacking style is due a top five finish. Down on fedex cup standings compared to what is expected. Is he in the same league as fellow young guns Matteo Manassero, Jason Day and Rory McIlroy? All of which have had some really good performances this year already. As we get closer to the US open all the big name players seem to raise their game and he won’t be any different. He see’s friends like Donald, Day and Bubba doing so well lately he won’t want to be left behind. Ricky is 48th in the world at the minute and anyone can see that he has the skill level to match those above, as yet some element has been lacking which has left him a bit inconsistent. The second biggest major for the Americans will bring more drive and focus from him, raising his game and consistency, so watch out for him in preparation tournaments running up to the US open on the 16th of June.
