Lorenzo Chavanne is the top-rated professional at Pilot, where his 7-goal handicap leads a roster that includes Nico Escobar at 6, Mackenzie Weisz at 6, and patron Curtis Pilot. The team has solid professional depth, and Chavanne sits at the top of that structure.
At Pilot, Chavanne’s job is to be the difference-maker — the player who tips close chukkers in his team’s favor. With Escobar and Weisz both rated 6, the team doesn’t rely on a single star. But Chavanne’s extra goal of handicap means he’s expected to produce in the moments that matter most.
The U.S. Open is decided in tight margins. Pilot’s professional trio of Chavanne, Escobar, and Weisz gives the team three players capable of scoring from open play — that kind of spread is hard to defend.
