The Outlook

Kokrak will make his British Open debut coming off his best finish of the year at the Greenbrier, where he placed T3. He hit 86.1% of greens and succeeded despite a terrible putting performance, which is definitely the Achilles' heel in his game. That said, his long-term track record is mediocre, and he excels more with his driver than iron games. I'm skeptical he has much upside at a links-style course like Carnoustie.
