The Outlook
Uihlein enters the U.S. Open on a heater with two top-fives in his past four starts. I think that will make him a popular sleeper pick. I could see him finishing in the top 20 here, but he’s a guy I’m monitoring to break through on a smaller stage later this summer. He appears to have a win coming, but asking him to take down a U.S. Open when he’s never made a cut in the event is a tall task.
