Top 10 U.S. OPEN 2020 Championship picks

1. Dustin Johnson

Where else to begin than with golf’s newest $15 million man. Johnson blew through the Tour’s postseason, including a rewarding payday at East Lake, and now he turns up as the world No. 1 and hot favorite to win the title and betting top choice. Four years eliminated from his success at Oakmont, DJ has a solid history of achievement on U.S. Open venue and is playing the absolute best golf of his career at the perfect time.

2: Justin Thomas

Somewhat overshadowed in recent weeks however equally as complete a player as Johnson. Thomas fired a 63 three years ago at Erin Hills, and keeping in mind that his U.S. Open record otherwise isn’t exactly scintillating, his ball-striking details are. Thomas drove the Tour last season in Strokes Gained: Approach and SG: Tee-to-Green, and coming off a three-win the campaign he has all the tools available to him to catch a second major.

3. Xander Schauffele

It’s hard to seek out a far better list of credentials among a player actually looking for his first major. Schauffele has completed T-6 or better in each of the three earlier U.S. Open appearances and is fourteen days removed from being the best player at East Lake. He’s had various close calls since his last success almost two years ago, has been unshakable since the break and seems ready for a breakthrough.

4. Jon Rahm

Look no farther than Memorial and the BMW to perceive how Rahm charges when difficulties arise. The Spaniard thrived in troublesome conditions in both of his post-pandemic successes, and this week he’ll confront an identical test. If the driver is performing anyplace near how he hit it throughout the end of the week at Olympia Fields, he could be difficult to get as he hopes to win his first major.

5. Collin Morikawa

Morikawa required just two begins to get major No. 1, and now he searches for his second straight in a row during a high-profile pairing with Tiger Woods. The PGA champ has been strong since Harding Park, but his the iron play could be a separating factor this week on a track which will require a few long approaches into par 4s.

6. Tommy Fleetwood

Fleetwood has quite since the re-start, however, he got hot in a rush a week ago in Portugal. The Englishman completed T-3 while getting in excess of 17 shots against the field from tee to green, a ball-striking performance that looks good during the current week. All things considered, it was only two years ago that he shot a final round 63 at Shinnecock Hills and almost got Brooks Koepka simultaneously.

7. Daniel Berger

Berger has been probably one among the best player since the break, yet even a success this week won’t get him into the f upcoming Masters. Up to 13th within the world, he has discovered his tee-to-green section and stays perhaps the best scrambler around the greens. On a course where everybody will miss something reasonable of greens, that would prove particularly important for a player who has four top-3 finishes including a win since June.

8. Webb Simpson

Simpson won this event eight years ago at Olympic and now could be playing even better than he did that late spring. He has won twice this year, both when the break, and brings a strong mix of ball-striking and putting. Add within the poise and presence of a veteran who realizes the stuff to win this tournament and it wouldn’t surprise anyone to ascertain his name close to the head of the leaderboard this weekend, despite the fact that he’s not one of the longer hitters on Tour and confronting a lengthy test.

9. Rory McIlroy

McIlroy is making his first major beginning as a dad, with his little girl’s recent birth now a reasonable clarification for his lack of focus and intensity at any beginnings after the break. McIlroy has the force and ability to compete on any course, including one as difficult as Winged Foot. But he’s never won a tournament with a score higher than 10 under par and his record in this event since his 2011 triumph at Congressional isn’t exactly stellar.

10. Matthew Fitzpatrick

The Englishman is a trendy sleeper pick this week, as he frequently talks about how he prefers difficult tests and supported it up this year with solid showings at Muirfield Village and Olympia Fields. Fitzpatrick is a former U.S. Amateur champ.

Here are the previous winner’s name

• 2011 Rory McIlroy

The 2020 FedEx Cup Playoffs, the arrangement of three back to back golf events has come to an end. The first event of FedEx Cup `The Northern Trust – TPC Boston Dustin Johnson wins by 11 Shots and is Back to No. 1. The field restricted to the best 125 players on the FedEx point list for the regular season. Dustin total scored on The Northern Trust was 67-60-64-63 on the board.

After a week on BMW Championship – Olympia Fields Country Club, Olympia Fields, Illinois 27-30 Aug Dustin showed his robust storm. He was on the top and hot cake to won the BMW Championship 2020. However, on the final day, Jon Rahm snatched the victory from Dustin Johnson.

After the cut from TPC Boston, there are only top-ranked. 70 players who participated in the penultimate FedEx Cup event.

Final event Tour Championship was played at East Lake Golf Club, Atlanta, Georgia 3-7 September. 30 top-notch players were the candidate to lift the trophy and jackpot. The American, 36, held a five-stroke lead heading into Monday’s final round at East Lake and carded a two-under 68 to claim the $15m FedEx Cup jackpot.

World number one Dustin Johnson claimed a three-shot victory at the PGA Tour’s season-ending Tour Championship. His round to round score is 67-70-64-68 at East Lake Golf Club.
Let’s check out how Round 1 played out at East Lake Golf Club.

Round 1 Recap

Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm tied for the lead after the first round of the TOUR Championship

Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm lead -13

Johnson led by two strokes over Rahm entering round 1, because of his top finish within the season-long FedEx Cup standings, before Rahm caught him. Much last week, too. DJ also led entering the final round of the BMW before Rahm caught him.

At the Tour Championship, Johnson and Rahm exchanged birdies on the 2nd, 6th, 12th, 13th and 15th. Rahm closed the gap as he had one less bogey and another birdie, his 3 on the par-4 16th pulling him into a share of the lead. Johnson finished with a 3-under 67 and Rahm a 5-under 65, and both are at 13-under overall.

Justin Thomas -11

Justin Thomas is 2 shots back after moving to 11 under. Justin was the FedEx points leader heading into the 2019 Tour Championship but couldn’t maintain that position over the course of the tournament. He finished during a tie for third with Brooks Koepka as Rory McIlroy was crowned the champion. Thomas looked to possess vengeance firmly on his mind after he birdied three of his first four holes. His momentum stalled a touch from there as he bogeyed No. 7. Birdies on 14 and 18 solidified his hold on the third.

Round 2 Recap

Dustin Johnson (-13)

Maverick Dustin mizzle on the opponents after completing a round 2.

Following the 1st day at 67, Johnson finished with an even-par 70 on round 2. He began the tournament at 10 because of having the foremost points within the FedEx Cup standings.

He opened the BMW Championship with a 71 last week before rebounding with three rounds of 69, 69 and 67 to succeed in a four-hole playoff that he eventually lost to Jon Rahm. Johnson saw some bad luck on the rear nine, particularly with this putt plan to save par on No. 15: The front nine was an assortment for Johnson, though things did get off to a solid start. He birdied two of the primary six holes, including a 37-footer on No. 3:

Johnson finished his first nine holes with three birdies and two bogeys to go into the rear nine at one sick for the day. He struggled down the stretch with two more bogeys that forced him into a tie for the highest spot Sungjae Im -12

The South Korean,22 played his career-best game. In his second round makes birdie on the par-5 18th hole. he played incredible game throughout the day. He hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation and completing at 12 under for the tournament. He completed his day in 2nd place on the board. After a tee shot at the green on the 197-yard par-3 second, he missed a birdie attempt from 5-feet taking a par. This left Sungjae Im to even for the round.

Xander Schauffele (-11)

Xander Schauffele is in 3rd at 11 under Let’s not act surprised that the leader in strokes gained at this course over the last 10 years crushed in round 2 on Saturday. He closed with three birdies in his last four holes, and only a rather drive at the 18th kept him from making it four during a row to finish the day. I’m wary that he’s first in putting so far, but he’s three strokes better than he was at the halfway point in 2017 when he went on to win.

Round 3 Recap

Dustin Johnson opens five-shot lead after the third round of the TOUR Championship

Justin Thomas (-19)

Though he missed a 16-inch putt on Sunday within the third round, he did putt it quite a bit better than he did in either of the two days. He’ll need some help — whether that is the luck of holing out a couple of times as he did on the front nine for eagle on round 3. But he remains No. 1 within the field in strokes gained from tee to green. Another hot day with the putter, a couple of sloppy holes from D.J. on the front nine.

Xander Schauffele (-14)

If you’re taking the pre-tournament strokes applied to the present field out of it, Schauffele is leading this tournament. No surprise there, though, as he absolutely crushes at this golf links. He shot a 32 on the rear nine and has been making everything he’s watching on these greens.

Jon Rahm (-13)

Jon Rahm’s last five rounds are spectacular. The outlier within the group was a 74 at this event in Round 2 on Saturday, but he bounced back with a 66 on round 3 Sunday by making birdie at each of the last two holes. He started last week’s final round trailing Johnson the 54-hole leader by three before running him down and beating him during a playoff.

Final Round Recap

Current top 10 (Post-Northern Trust)

The standings can and will change a lot in a short timeframe. A year ago, Abraham Ancer began the playoffs at 67th, simply inside the cut line to make it to the second event. At the point when he completed second at the first event, he moved into the top 10 and set off East Lake. So, let’s take a look at the top 10 golf power rankings for the 2020 BMW Championship.

1. Dustin Johnson

With constrained course history to depend upon, should begin with the person that simply won by 11 shots. Johnson’s head-turning performance at TPC Boston may have been his career-best, and it presently gives him a leg on the field as he looks to make sure about the best position heading into East Lake.

2. Webb Simpson

He followed a T-3 completion at Wyndham with a T-6 showing at TPC Boston. Still, probably the best player on Tour this season and with two wins already to his credit, he presently heads to a course whose little greens should accentuate the advantage he has with iron in hand.

3. Bryson DeChambeau

Power man comes back to the site of his 2015 U.S. Amateur win and featured as a professional golfer. A week ago, missed cut was seemingly an aberration, as he still leads the Tour in SG: Off the tee and has racked up eight top-10 completions in his last 11 starts, including a big win Rocket Mortgage Classic in June.

4. Justin Thomas

Last year Thomas utilized this occasion to put an exclamation point on an injury-plagued season. However, he already won at WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational 3 weeks back. He was undone by a balky putter a week ago in The Northern Trust but remains the Tour’s tee-to-green leader, meaning that it won’t take a lot of improvement for the greens to return him in contention.

5. Collin Morikawa

Collin Morikawa is considering as a dark horse that already won the two-title including the PGA Championship after the post-pandemic playoff. His early exit from TPC Boston was fairly surprising however barely becomes a reason to worry. Presently the tables are turned as he’ll have a gut to surprise all the viewer this week.

6. Daniel Berger

With all due regard to Johnson or Morikawa, Berger has a place in the conversation of best player on Tour since the break. His third-place finish at The Northern Trust was his fourth result of T-3 or better in six starts, a stretch that incorporates his victory at Colonial and a runner-up at a WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational 3 weeks back in Memphis.
