Dom Cintorino grabbed Nick Taylor at 90-1, citing a three-event heater: 4th at Memorial, T13 and T23 in consecutive U.S. Open tune-ups while gaining strokes ball-striking each week. Cintorino labeled River Highlands a “benign second-shot track” similar to Wailae, where Taylor already owns a win, noting the Canadian’s accuracy and wedge game neutralize his middling distance. Although Taylor’s Travelers record is thin, Cintorino sees no stylistic barrier—"if you can win at Wailae, you can win here." With confidence high and the outright number drifting because of Scheffler/Rory tax at the top, Taylor becomes Cintorino’s preferred mid-tier bullet.
