Battle At Congressional

Will we see the ghost of Ken Venturi work its voodoo on the field this year at the 2011 US Open Championship or will the third time around for the Open at this historic course bring us a relatively unknown player who goes on to do great things a la Graeme McDowell?

Any way you slice it some how some way there is always a weird twist to this major…..it brings out all the demons in players and opens up a pathway big enough for a truck to drive through for those that have never sniffed a major championship. Will one of the young guns dominate this gig or will we see crafty Phil bring it home with some savy short game play and experience that can never be underestimated?

So…without any further delay the Golfmoolah precidtions:

We see some guys really taking over this tournament with clear vision and great iron play…but ultimately it comes down to putting. We like the folloing:

Dustin Johnson, Phil, Kuchar and our sleeper is Rickie Fowler
