There hasn’t been a repeat winner in the US Open in nearly 30 years, since Curtis Strange in 1989, but it sure looked like the same guy won the championship for a second year in a row.
Discussion was prevalent among television analysts about how the game’s best players — those, at least, known for their driving prowess — failed so miserably to solve an Erin Hills test seemingly biased towards their strengths.
A first-time winner has come out on top in each of the past six Major championships. After 36 holes at Erin Hills, where the top 18 names on the leaderboard have won a combined zero Majors, it looks as though we are headed for a seventh.
After extensive testing of virtually every major brand while exploring offers from multiple equipment companies, McIlroy has entered into a “long-term” contract with TaylorMade.
Dustin Johnson’s US PGA Tour win streak ended at three this morning at the Wells Fargo Championship where he had to settle for a tie for second with Pat Perez, one stroke behind winner Brian Harman.
Harman used a TaylorMade’s Spider OS CB putter – a counterbalanced model similar to the putter he used while employing a belly style of putting prior to the ban starting January 1, 2016.
