The Outlook

Ancer has done a good job this year, posting some strong results in weak fields to solidify his PGA Tour status. But this is his first major in his career, and it’s hard to see him doing anything significant here. Making the cut would be a great result for Ancer, but it’s more likely he’ll be on the flight back on Friday night with his eyes on the Canadian Open.
