It's hard not to take Tiger any week he plays, so like NC Golfer, I'll throw some thoughts on other contenders.
I have a love/ hate relationship with the
Furyk
pick. True- his "A GAME" screams US Open Champion, but I don't think he has that game going right now.
The Open does not usually allow for the occasional "ex lax" round, thus removing
Adam Scott
from my consideration.
Vijay
is looking older and older every week. 3 years ago I'd say he had a chance, but not now.
I oddly love the
Goosen
pick. I haven't seen him play much this year, but I can't get this pick out of my gut.
A few picks I also love are
Stuart Cink
who seems to have his game right, and
Justin Rose
, who could still putt better than most the field if they reduced the hole size to 2 1/4". Another contender will be
Paul Casey
, who mashes the ball straight, and apparently loves links courses.
