The third major championship of the men’s 2024 season gets underway this week at Pinehurst No. 2, which means another edition of our First Clicks column.
Most weeks, we jump into this space and highlight one name to consider in the outright market ahead of Signature Events on the PGA Tour. This week, I have isolated one finishing position and will share that pick at the end of the column.
The gap in total OWGR points between Scottie Scheffler and world No. 3 Rory McIlroy is the same as the gap in total OWGR points between Rory and world No. 613 Anthony Quayle. This is the fourth time the U.S. Open will occur at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. However, it’s just the first time since 2014, and only 27 players in the field this week teed it up at this course in 2014.
Still, after watching Phil Mickelson win a major at 50, I still think there’s a timeline where DJ brings his A-game to a major and adds one more to his career before calling it quits. Speaking of major resumes, here is a look at the strokes gained leaders in the four majors since COVID-19. It’s been over 10 years since Rory McIlroy won the 2014 PGA Championship. The win that week gave him four in his first 25 majors and had people wondering if he could reach double digits.
