Is Dustin Johnson the Favorite to Win the US Open (After Tiger)?

[colin007]

if tiger ends up not playing in the open, does DJ become the favorite? two in a row at pebble now.

He is definitely one of those who can win, but still got 24 players in front of him on the World Golf Ranking.

I doubt it. It's going to be a totally different course when it hosts the US Open. Hitting fairways is going to be a premium as always and Johnson isn't exactly known for this accuracy. Still, he's playing great golf right now and he's got as good as shot as anyone out there, but as far as being the favorite, I would say no.

I think after David Duvals play at Pebble(and last years U.S. Open) should certainly get him looked at also, but I dont think Dustin Johnson is the favorite but he should definitely be looked at as a contender.

Yesterdays telecast was really the only time ive seen him play, so i cant say if he can win the open or not. But we always see guys make a run out of nowhere in that tournament so maybe this Dustin has a shot. Very good putting stroke, too.

I agree with JetsFan. You need to be accurate off of the tee at US Opens, and DJ isn't exactly accurate.

My sleeper pick is Ryan Moore.

No, he isnt the favorite. Winning at Pebble and winning at Pebble when its the U.S. Open are 2 very different things.

I don't really like his chance. Obviously, he is playing very well. However, like a lot of you said, he is known for his length, not for his accuracy. Accuracy is much more important than length in the majors. I also found that he is a lot more comfortable in making a lot of birdies than scrambling for pars. To win in the majors, you need to scramble and make clutch putts for pars to win.

Bump. Dustin Johnson leading the tourney early on Day Two. Too bad I said my answer to this question was "I doubt it" all those months ago; he's looking just fine right now.

Are you at the window getting ready to cash? lol. Great bet.

I hope anyone wins besides Tiger, he is a bit*h! Come on DUSTIN!!

[JWILL203]

I have to go with Dustin Johnson today, looked really good yesterday. I would love if Tiger and Johnson tie and have to go to a playoff that would be a fun pair to watch.
