The Outlook

Berger has been out of form for a while now. He had that surprising run at the U.S. Open, getting into the final pairing on Sunday. But even he admitted in the post-round interview that it was mainly due to a red-hot putter. Outside of that week, he’s really struggled. He’s off my radar this week in any format.
