Picks for US Open at Congressional?

[egehoski]

I'll give you 3 names. One of these will win.

1- P. Mickelson

2- S. Cink

3- L. Donald

Fear the beard - I like Lucas Glover. Showing strong form as of late, and has proven he can thrive on long courses....won the Open at The Black a few years ago.

I'm not sure Phil won't be in the mix if he can keep it in the fairway. And The Bearded One is in great form right now. If Bubba has the week of his life he could put on a show here, too.

My vote still stands with Dustin Johnson, though.

agree, Glover is hot lately & this course suits his play.      Realistically, it's tough to root against Luke Donald right now ...

I would like one of these three:

1. Luke Donald

2. Bubba Watson

3. Rickie Fowler (if he's in the field)

Of the 3, I think Donald is the one that makes the most sense to me.

I think Ian Poulter could do well too.

That sort of sums it up about the winless prince, doesn't it?

[Ryan Williams]

There are a few names that i have been kicking around for the past few days....

dustin johnson- if he doesn't win he will be in the hunt on sunday

sergio- is my dark horse im hoping he plays well as he has been the past few days

bubba watson- he's been playing good this year

and i dont think tiger will be a factor this year

i think the winner is going to be someone that can hit it long and straight this is a big course

[Stretch]

I was going to say Schwartzel might be worth a look again, as he's unusually good at grinding out pars on tough tracks. But he blew big time at Wentworth. We'll see.

Don't think Donald has the length, even if everything's a frozen rope for him -- which is the way it seems to be right now.

[Ryan Williams]

i also think that angel has a good of shot as anybody! he plays his best golf in majors, is a long player, won a us open at oakmont which was a long course to.... i expect him to
be around on sunday

I'll go with KJ Choi.

[GpGolfFitness]

What about Phil???

[deasy55]

I can't see Mickelson winning. He seems to be past his best or else is unable to produce his best due to his health problems

[clubchamp]

Choi seem like a good pick, Furyk played well there in 97, Glover has looked good, Kaymer if he gets into form and I could see Mickelson in the hunt if he has his driver under control which we will see this weekend. I don't like Donald I think length will get to him, Westwood has the tools but I think that playoff loss may have rattled him, and Bubba would have to hit the ball perfectly since there not a lot of room at congressional to hit a 40 yard slice.

I just don't see a clear cut favorite for this major but I would probably take Watney or Mahan if I had to make a pick right now.

Can I take Sergio for rounds 1 and 2, and Choi for the weekend?

[Chrepper]

David Duval

[ghalfaire]

I know the course is long but if the set up is like a typical US Open, straight is going to count more than long.  I think Luke Donald has to be a favorite.  But won't argue that there are others who have a chance.  My emotional favorite if Phil but he'll have to keep the tee ball under control.  Phil has the game to win it if he can do that.

[Gioguy21]

Hunter Mahan...2 years ago at the ATT National played there he was on a stretch of i believe 5 birdies on the back 9 on sunday...can't deny play like that. he likes the course and it suits his eye...i'm also routing for tiger (not a lover, nor a hater), to get his game back on track. not sayin he'll win it or he's my pick but just hoping we start seeing him healthy again for his and the game's sake.

[golfismyworld]

Bubba Watson, Lee Westwood, or maybe even DJ.
