The Outlook
Over the past couple of years, “Fleetwood the Flusher” has established himself as one of the game’s premier ball-strikers, a talent that should serve him extremely well at Shinnecock. He’s also trending in the right direction, with only two finishes outside the top 30 in a dozen worldwide starts this year. He finished solo fourth in last year’s U.S. Open, to date his lone top-10 result in a major championship. The next step in Fleetwood’s emergence will be more title contentions in majors, and this one should be right up his alley.
