I think this will be a very interesting US Open this year..Shinnecock has very narrow fairways with very hard and fast greens, this course will be ready come June 14. I believe the US Open is the one tournament that you have to come in and be on in every aspect of the game to compete. I believe Tiger will struggle with the Driver and Vijay will struggle with the putter enough to count them out. Phil is iffy..If he hits the driver straight then he has to be the fav, If not...well you get it. I think Retief Goosen, David Toms and Mickelson are going to do well, but I have a sleeper pick:
Stephen Ames...this guy has been playing well and his game fits this type of course. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. :D
