Patrick Cantlay
He was born in Los Angeles and hasn’t won a tournament yet this year. He tied for ninth at the PGA-Championship, tied for 14th at the Masters, tied for 3rd at the RBC Heritage, tied for 4th at the Arnold Palmer, and tied for third at the Genesis at Riviera, which is just down the road.
Joe LaCava is his caddy, & this week Cantlay wins his first big tournament of his career.
During a practice round for the U.S. Open on June 13, Patrick Cantlay hits a shot out of a bunker.AP also see.
Since he has already won two U.S. Opens and is the current PGA winner, it would be silly to think that he won’t be in the running late on Sunday.
Tyrrell Hatton
The unpredictable Englishman hasn’t shown enough maturity and patience on the golf course to be a real threat at a major, but he’s been in great shape lately.
He tied for third in Canada last week, tied for 12th at the Memorial, tied for 15th at the PGA, tied for fifth at the Byron Nelson, and tied for third at the Wells Fargo.
This is called a “trend.”
Viktor Hovland
I always pick a guy who is playing well, and Hovland, who was second at the PGA and won the Memorial, has been playing better than anyone else lately.
Jon Rahm
He is the second best player in the world.
Because he has won four times in California, which is also where he won his first and only big title.
