The Outlook
Few players in the world own the offensive firepower of this Belgian, who can bang the ball a mile and fire at flagsticks when he’s on his game. Problem is, he’s rarely been on his game this year, with only two top-10 finishes. Even though most elite-level European players are instantly considered potential contenders at the Open Championship, I think Pieters’ game sets up much better for a Masters or PGA Championship instead.
