The Outlook
I don’t think anyone envisioned the summer of 2018 belonging to Francesco Molinari, but here we are. After backing him in wins at the Open and Quicken Loans, Molinari and I are good for life, but I can’t advise backing him here. The numbers on him have crashed into the 20s with good reason. He fell back to earth a bit at the Bridgestone, and the run of finishing in the top two of every tournament may be at an end.
