US open contenders

A US Open course doesn't ever get beat up; 3 or 4 under usually wins.
Experts are saying big hitters are favourites and this cannot be ignored but why not a steady golfer who doesn't make mistakes?

Below is a list of our favourites at 121Golf.

Graeme McDowell - last man to win back to back US opens was Curtis Strange in 88 & 89 - GMac is not on good form although he said at the 2011 Wales open that he was playing better than last year - not scoring better though.

Luke Donald - current world no:1 - fatigue may be an issue, has had a heavy 2011 schedule

Rory Mcilroy - could finally get over the line - if anyone to win by big margin Rory is the man.

Dustin Johnson - will want to lay the ghosts of last year to rest - not much form 

Bubba Watson - big hitter cannot be ignored

Phil Mickleson - form at Bethpage and everywhere - not much this year though

Lee Westwood - steady in majors and has had a good year so far.

Lucas Glover - won the US open in 09 and has won on the USPGA this year

Nick Watney - steady - has won on USPGA this year

Sergio Garcia - good record in the US Open - showing signs he's finding form - if you're after a long shot then Sergio is a good each way bet.
 

Good luck and we hope you enjoy the show.
