It's that time of year again... -
June 8th, 2009
Time for the US Open! Who is everyone's favorite to win? Any other Open-related talk? I gotta go with the sterotypical win choices, Tiger and Kenny Perry. I'm not ruling out Steve Stricker, Camilo Villegas, or Charlie Hoffman though. It would be absolutely amazing if Mickleson won though.

I'd like to see Dustin Johnson or Bubba Watson make a run for it. Johnson is really fun to watch, he can hit it a mile

Obviously, Tiger Woods has a pretty good shot at winning again at Bethpage. Also, Lefty is going to be a huge crowd favorite once again (even more so than in 2002).
That being said, my guy is Jim Furyk. He is playing better right now than he has the past couple seasons, and he is always a threat in the U.S. Open. And besides, the guy is way too good to only win 1 career major. Surely there are a couple more out there for Jimbo. |

Geoff Ogilvy will be a contender. He played well at The Memorial, and he knows how to win the US Open--fairways and greens, grind it out. Forget birdies, and make pars---the formula that Curtis Strange used to perfection. When Payne Stewart approached the US Open, he became a different player, according to his caddy, Mike Hicks, and his wife, Tracey. He would be focused. All the Majors require that to some extent, but the US Open more so than the other three. Make a mistake and you pay for it. And you cannot make a lot of birdies to make up for mistakes. Zach Johnson would have a good chance on other courses, but Bethpage is simply too long for his game. Ogiilvy has decent length---293.4 vs. the Tour average of 286.2---and he ranks 36th in distance. Zach averaes 281.6, and his rank is 134th. |

I always say Geoff Ogilvy and he never gets close!
The only Europeans I can see coming close are Paul Casey or Henrik Stenson and while we're on the subject of European players...Padraig Harrington: is it me or does anyone else think that those 3 Majors are it for Padraig?? (not that this is a bad thing!) Anyway, for me, Tiger Woods has his name written on this trophy again...

i'd like to see either furyk or mickelson win it, but if tiger plays like he did last week, i suspect he'll be the one taking home the trophy.

How can you NOT like Tiger Woods in this one, especially coming off a a win and driving the ball dead straight lately?

Up until his 1st win at Carnoustie, he'd only had one Top 10 finish - T5th at Muirfield in '02. His US Open results are far better: 2000 - T5 2002 - T8 2003 - T10 2006 - 5 And at The Masters he's had 3 Top 10 finishes since 2002.
