Nick Taylor U.S. Open Prediction 2023
Nick Taylor was the star of the show at the RBC Canadian Open as he brought the trophy back to its home country for the first time in 69 years. He earned the third PGA Tour victory of his career as well as his sixth top-20 finish in 2022-23. It's safe to say he enters the U.S. Open as a sneaky underdog.

Taylor is a tough golfer to figure out as seven missed cuts also join those six top-10 finishes. He can compete with the best of the best when he is at the top of his game but can be eliminated almost immediately when he is not. There is reason for optimism when it comes to his talent this weekend, however.
The 35-year-old ranks among the top 35 golfers in both Strokes Gained (SG): Approach the Green and SG: Putting. That is crucial considering the course at the Los Angeles Country Club features smaller greens surrounded by rough terrain. I'll take a chance and back Taylor to make the cut (-122).
