It's here!

Who besides Scottie do you think has a good shot?

Will it really play as tough as they say it will?

Dechambeu will be right there.

I would think so but man his irons have not been sharp when he's needed them to be lately. Gotta figure Oakmont will punish that big time.

I agree. I don't think he'll win but I think he'll be very much in contention and finish with another top 5 in a major, which he always seems to do

Tommy Fleetwood with the surprise win

Personally I'd be thrilled with any outcome aside from Scheffler choking out the field and winning by six.

Sam Burns. Number one in strokes gained putting by quite a bit for 2025. Also runner up last week. That said, he has struggled on approach to green which isn't great for a US Open Rough

Other choice is Shane Lowry.

ETA. Yes it will play tough. I say -7 wins it.

I think Scottie's caddie may finish in top 5 of the prize money this week.

with the rough as long as it is it won't matter. It's going to be whoever it's hit the longest and whoever putts it the best.

I expect it to be either Bryson, Scottie, Rory, or my dark horse Brooks.

I would like another Bryson vs. Rory on the final day for the drama. My dark horse, if you can even call it that, would be Schauffele. Pick this one up, and he'd just need The Masters for the slam.

Only 4 guys finished under par in 2016 and they are saying its harder this year.

It looks like you are effed if you aren't on the fairway

I have no confidence in Rory right now. His driving is abysmal

I'm rooting for Phil or Koepka. Phil winning would be the best story in golf.

Most accurate drivers and long iron players will have a large advantage.

Bryson played a practice round I think 2 weeks ago and played well. Hoping he makes a run.

It would also be nice if Xander figured things out.

On the US Open pre-coverage this morning, the guys said Bryson is going to use new irons this week, although he's been working with the manufacturer for a year to get them exactly right.

Not sure if that's a pro or a con.

And yes…….Phil winning would be a great story, but the longest of long shots.

The odds are better that both of them miss the cut this week

Guess I'm in the minority in that I cringe at the thought of Phil winning.

Dude has completely jumped the shark is a complete caricature of himself. His act has grown old and I rather not give him a platform. The less I have to see and hear Phil the better.

And I was a big Phil fan until recently. I just think it's time for him to cash his LIV checks and ride into the sunset.

What act has grown old?

Me ... IMO, Mickelson has been great for golf for decades. And he's awesome with the fans.

Just his whole aviators, thumbs up, smiling constantly comes off as overboard. He lays it on pretty thick nowadays.

I just feel like overall Phil is just there to be seen rather than play golf.

Phil is the greatest thing that ever happened to Scottie, Rory, Xander and the rest of the top dogs at the PGAT

Most people his age are. But I think he thinks he can still win this thing.

How much interaction have you had with him?

This is such a stupid retort.

None. I've had very little to no interaction with any pro athlete.

Good thing for me is that's not a prerequisite for being able to have an opinion of any of them.

100% agree. It's not. I'm just trying to understand why you feel like "He lays it on pretty thick nowadays."

My money is on Scottie but my sleeper pick is Aaron Rai.

I agree in that I hate the two gloves. But he leads the tour in driving accuracy.
