2009 U.S. Open- Who Will Win?


The story line about this time of year is always about the same…this year’s tournament will be even more brutal, challenging, and demanding than any in history.

But with Bethpage 2009, this is not the case.

The last outing at Bethpage in 2002 was extremely grueling for the entire competition, but this year’s should be substantially easier.

Some of the shrubbery and excessive penalties have been replaced, and the 18th hole is one of the most forgiving in the history of the tournament.

Now this doesn’t necessarily mean that the winner will be under par but I’d be surprised if the winner weren’t.

Don’t get me wrong; Bethpage is a beast and it will take superb rounds to contend for an under-par score.

That said, there are a few pros who have fairly large advantages heading into the tournament.

I believe there are only a handful of guys who can tackle this challenge:

Tiger Woods
Phil Mickelson
Steve Stricker
Jim Furyk
Geoff Ogilvy

Because of the extreme difficulty of this event, anything can happen and anyone can win….but I’d like to hear from YOU. Who do YOU think will win this week and be crowned the reigning U.S. Open champ? Just post your answer here in the comments. Answer correctly and we’ll put you into a drawing on Monday June 22nd for selection my products. If your name is drawn, you get to pick any three of our award-winning DVD’s or instructional books (we have thirteen to choose from)…on the house. And yes, we pay for the shipping too ;)

There’s only one rule….only those posts submitted by end of day Thursday will count. Those who vote after that won’t be counted toward the contest because by then you will have an unfair advantage. You’re more than welcome to post at any time though! Good luck and I hope you choose wisely and get some instructional products for free!

  1. Andrew E. Says:

    I think it’s gotta be Tiger - He will win two consecutive opens and make an even (bigger) name for himself.

  2. Patrick L. Says:

    Ogilvy

  3. Clive Ridsdale Says:

    I have to choose an Australian so my choice is Geoff.Ogilvy.

  4. Fred Lobbezoo Says:

    Tiger Woods will win the 2009 US Open. He is more confident that his leg will hold up, thanks to the modified swing and has regained a larger portion of his power. If he can putt well, it will be a few stroke victory.

  5. William M Says:

    It will again be Tiger, he is back in form and ready to play.

  6. Greg Lyons Says:

    Jim Furyk will win no doubt

  7. Arlin Luttrell Says:

    Tiger…….mentally ready for this course than any other player.

  8. Marc H. Washenfelder Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy has the length and strength required to get from tee to green and a wonderful putting touch to get the ball in the hole, and I think he can handle the “pressure” and the probable adverse weather so I think another “Aussie” wins the US Open!

  9. Doug Feremenga Says:

    Tiger!

  10. Phillip Durkin Says:

    I’m going out on a limb here and say the winner will be David Toms

  11. Tom Melgaard Says:

    Tiger is ready to win another major. I think he’ll do it.

  12. Russ Ruonavaara Says:

    I have to go with Tiger Woods.

  13. Terry LeSarge Says:

    I hate to say it but Tiger Woods is my pick.

  14. Russ Omori Says:

    Wish I could pick someone who would give me better odds in the drawing, but better long-odds than no-odds:

    Tiger Woods

  15. Jack Hughes Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy to win!!

  16. Rex Janssen Says:

    Tiger Woods will win.

  17. DAN DARMOS Says:

    TIGER IS GETTING HIS DRIVER UNDER CONTROL AND HE’S THE BEST MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY! I LOVE PHIL BUT HE’S NOT MENTALLY READY TO CHALLENGE TIGER THIS TIME!

  18. Glenn Manning Says:

    I’m going with Brian Gay. When his game is on he can play with anyone.

  19. Kim McShane Says:

    Tiger Tiger Burning Bright !!

  20. Syd Cocker Says:

    Brian Gay showed he could win last weekend, and I think he will give Tiger a run at the US Open.

  21. Dave Alexander Says:

    How do you go against Tiger?

  22. CJ Smallwood Says:

    Mr. Woods will repeat at the Black.

  23. Jerry Bonus Says:

    Tiger Woods is my choice for U S Open Champ

  24. Michael Mueller Says:

    If not Tiger… my pick is Paul Casey.

  25. Jerry Bonus Says:

    Tiger Woods, Winner of 2009 US Open

  26. Tom Cramer Says:

    It will be Tigger Woods, which is not my favorite player. I have to go with odds.

  27. Peter Says:

    You know, I think Geoff Ogilvy would take it but my pick is going to be Tiger Woods. After his last win and the way he came back, he’s ready.

  28. Don Dolenec Says:

    My money is on Tiger Woods to come out on top of this grueling 4 day event. the mental toughness wins out in the end

  29. Vicki Mathiesen Says:

    Nick Watney! He has has really been working on his game. He has the length, iron accuracy, and his putting is becoming a real weapon. Besides, he is the nicest, most humble player on the tour.

  30. nick Says:

    brian gay’s form is hard to ignore. he’s my pick over tiger.

  31. Roger Russove Says:

    Flyer time! I’ll take Steve Stricker for the win!

  32. Dave Lawrence Says:

    It has to be tiger again…………..

  33. Matthew Johnson Says:

    Well, call me crazy.

    I’ve got a hunch that Tim Clark wins this week for his first PGA Tour win.

  34. Mark Gardner Says:

    My bet would be Geoff Olgivy

  35. Ryan Dale Says:

    It should be hard to beat Tiger based on his last tournament win a fortnight ago.

    I am going to have a crack with Paul Casey.

  36. Dick Anderson Says:

    Henrick Stenson will win the Open @ Black Page

  37. ACG Says:

    Cannot bet against Tiger. Tiger again!

  38. Robert Luo Says:

    No doublt, Tiger will win.

  39. Bud West Says:

    After watching BRIAN GAY play some amazing golf this week, Im gonna give him a shot.

  40. David Taylor Says:

    I think there is some possibility that Padraig Harrington will make one of his surprising and stunning games. He is my pick of a “foreigner”!

  41. Lawrie Says:

    Seeing how Tiger seems to have his tee shots under control, and his short game as well I have to go with him to win.

  42. John Kimber Says:

    Hard to go past Tiger who was in scary form last time out, but my outsider is Henrik Stenson has the length and has shown that he can put on glass with his win at the Players.

  43. Daniel Weingrad Says:

    Odds on the winner will be Tiger Woods

  44. Henry Mears Says:

    Although they all have a good chance, I’m going with Tiger. He has always been able to pull the rabbit out of the hat!

  45. Terry Weaver Says:

    The best mental game in the game - Tiger Woods. After Torrey Pines, on one leg, how does anyone beat him when he really wants to win? And he is a double defending champion - 2008 US Open and the last time it was at Bethpage Black.

  46. Nadeen Aney Says:

    I think Geoff Ogilvy looks like a winner this year.

  47. Leon Greeff Says:

    David Toms (Tim Clark 2nd choice)

  48. Christopher Byrd Says:

    The steady nerves and skillful will of Tiger Woods will see him take the Bethpage 2009.

  49. Jeremy Miller Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy i think he can pull it off this year…

  50. James Says:

    Tiger!

  51. Jack Petry Says:

    Tiger’s at the top of his game and he’ll bring it this weekend at Bethpage - I believe he’ll pull it out.

  52. Brian Martin Says:

    Tiger Woods should repeat win at Bethpage

  53. Evan N Says:

    I think the winner will be Tiger Woods - again.

    He just has the will to win no matter what.

  54. Rick O Says:

    It will be Tiger.

    He has found the fairway, has the focus, and determination.

  55. A.C.Perry Says:

    Andrew Magee would slap the bow tie off of Alex if this guy takes it so Im gonna say Nick Watney. good luck everyone

  56. Roderick Pinkney Says:

    For me the best bet is Tiger. Others can do the job but I think he is “on a mission”.

  57. Trev Tainsh Says:

    Allenby he is starting to show form after a long run of outs.

  58. Neville DS Says:

    Anthony Kim

  59. Ken Pobjoy Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy has the long game, the accuracy and the good ol’ Aussie will to win by several strokes.

  60. James V Says:

    Phil Mickelson Has to be the pick this round. Tiger still needs a little work to shine.

  61. Don Ernst Says:

    Padraig Harrington comes from behind and wins it.

  62. Gary L Says:

    No doubt, Tiger Woods is on the prowl and will win it by 2 strokes.

  63. Mark D Says:

    Padre Harrington

  64. Kali Says:

    Steve Stricker is well composed for the WIN.Wishing him ALL THE BEST…..Kharb K R.

    Angel Cabrera for his 2nd open win.

    My pick is David Toms. He;s due.

  73. Ed Young Says:

    In honor of Amy, Phil Mickelson will win.

  74. Victor Says:

    Its gotta be Tiger. He’s the man.

  75. Cindy F Says:

    I’m picking Phil. Bethpage owes him one and he may just be distracted enough to not get in his own way.

  76. ed douglass Says:

    tiger woods

  77. John Daly Says:

    If I hadn’t gotten suspended and had a chance to play more, I’d be in the field and I’d win the whole doggone thing. You becha!

  78. Peter Ghiorso Says:

    Tiger Woods-he is back

    keep it left, lefty that is Phil all the way

  80. Stuart Daly Says:

    2009 will be the year for Paul Casey!

  81. Kerry Satherley Says:

    I think Retief Gosen, he hasn’t been too far off the pace recently, and has been showing glimpses of his old form.

  82. Renato Kapauan Says:

    Its going to be Steve Stricker.

    Im going for the slight underdog.

  83. Renato Kapauan Says:

    Its going to be Steve Stricker!

    Im rooting for the slight underdog.

  84. Robert Jovez Says:

    Tiger Woods does a double repeat (2008 US Open and Bethpage).

  85. Dogger Says:

    You can never rule out Tiger. He’s my vote!

  86. Pat Nichols Says:

    Tiger Woods is the man!!!

  87. Regan Klassen Says:

    Zach Johnson will win

  88. Renato Padilla Says:

    Tiger Woods will win the 2009 US Open

  89. Peter Booth Says:

    Robert Allenby will do it for the Aussies.

  90. DAVID CRAWFORD Says:

    Phil Mickelson is long overdue

  91. Emmett Jones Says:

    Have to go with Tiger, this will take a putter with a lot of imagination.

  92. Earl Evens Says:

    My head says Tiger, Tiger , Tiger. But, I’m going with Anthony Kim.

  93. Dennis Strand Says:

    Tiger is on the prowl. Look for him to win.

  94. B Ward Says:

    Sean O’Hair.

  95. Marion Beard Says:

    I am going with Steve Stricker. I believe he will give Tiger a scare

  96. Steve McDonnell Says:

    Jim Furyk - I think the time is right….

  97. hank hall Says:

    brian gay is my pick.

  98. dan gutkaes Says:

    Sean O’Hair

  99. Bert Says:

    Did you hear me? Tiger

  100. matthew hannan Says:

    tiger will win

  101. Alex McKay Says:

    Go Tiger Woods! He’s my pick

  102. Steve Ng Says:

    I pick Tiger ….

  103. Alice hutton Says:

    How can one vote against.
    I pick Tiger from Sergio

  104. Spur Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy

  105. Joe Says:

    Henrik Stenson.Not sure why you didnt mention him over Stricker or Furyk but oh well..

  106. des leader Says:

    NZ hero - michael campbell for a roughee

  107. des leader Says:

    Michael Campbell NZ flagbearer

  108. Roy Spina Says:

    The favorite is Tiger, but my vote is for Nick Watney. Nick is our hometown favorite and a product of Fresno State University. Go Dogs!!

  109. Craig Schultz Says:

    I am picking Phil Mickelson,because I believe he has been runnerup too many times,and how fitting it would be,because of his wife Amy!

  110. Relevant Says:

    I’m going to pick Ian Poulter

  111. Chuck McLaughlin Says:

    I think Jim Furyk is ready to win this one.

  112. rj Says:

    You don’t think that reigning Masters champion and 2007 US Open champ Angel Cabrera is not one of the ‘handful of guys who can tackle this challenge”, yet you pick short-hitting Steve Stricker, who generally has had a bit of trouble when it comes to closing out tournaments? C’mon…

  113. Tom Blackwell Says:

    It’s goona be that “round, mound from the Argentine” — Angel Cabrera. He is one tough hombre on tough tracks !!!

  114. Torben Birkmose Says:

    I see everyone is going for that safe choice… Tiger… However, I will cheer for the Europeans, and I’m sure that Padraig Harrington will come out on top! :)

  115. Gary Kidd Says:

    Tiger is obviously the favourite again, but I see a European winning on this tough course, especially if the wind gets up. Sergio is due a good tourney but for me I have a feeling that Ian Poulter will finally make the big time in the USA. So, Ian Poulter for me.

  116. R K Jain Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy

  117. Kim Says:

    Tiger’s victory at the 2008 Open will go down as one of the greatest sporting moments I have witnessed, so I’m going for Geoff Ogilvy

  118. D Hunt Says:

    I like the chances of Ross Fisher this year.

  119. Sharon Delong Says:

    I’d love to see Zach win but I’m going to pick Phil Mickelson.

  120. G Brko Says:

    allenby showing good form

  121. Steve Lambert Says:

    Gotta go with the best…Tiger will win!

  122. M strauss Says:

    Tiger Woods without a doubt. He’s in great form and ready to win another major; maybe Brian Gay can challenge him, but Brian hasn’t the experience for this championship run.

  123. Bruce Yonehiro Says:

    Dustin Johnson.

  124. Jose Quiroz Says:

    Alvaro Quiros

  125. TUCKER THOMPSON Says:

    Jim Furyk is ready to break out and is accurate off the tee.

  126. Rakesh Khanna Says:

    I believe Steve Stricker will win 2009 US Open

  127. DBAGS Says:

    Might have a chance..Henrik Stenson

  128. Ray Chavez Says:

    Phil Mickelson, will win in a close one.

  129. Aaron Devereux Says:

    its goin to be a european, either sergio or casey, i’m going with sergio to finally break his major duck….

  130. Jaap Hazewinkel Says:

    I think Ian Poulter will fire up. Yes, Tiger is a likely choice but when I pick him I will never win :-)

  131. Darren Kelly Says:

    Go the Aussies, Ogilvy.

  132. John M Says:

    I’m picking Robert Allenby. An outsider, but playing well.

  133. Stevie Monaghan Says:

    I like a wee flutter,Tigers not value for money unless you have the money to lose.John Sendon for me,from tee to green one of the best,hopefully he gets his putter working for once.

  134. ROBERT PREIR Says:

    I AM GOING WITH RETIEF GOOSEN. HE IS LONG OVERDO!

  135. Joachim Hansson Says:

    Paul Casey

  136. GEORGE TREACY Says:

    Padraig Harrington

  137. balbinder singh Says:

    tiger woods

  138. Mick Barrett Says:

    My Tip for the 2009 US open is:
    PAUL CASEY.
    Tell your freinds you heard it hear first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  139. Darren Says:

    Tiger will be the man again - hime and Steve will get it figured out!!!

  140. Brian Connolly Says:

    On a tough course like this, it will be someone who can grind out a win, so for me it will be Padraig Harrington

  141. TREVOR MALE Says:

    HELLO JACK , MY PICK WOULD BE GEOFF OGILVY, HE IS THE MASTER OF DIFFICULT LAYOUTS .GO GEOFF

  142. brian little Says:

    hello jack,my pick is tiger he has shown he can tuff it out,and i am looking forward to seeing him play at kingston heath in the australian open in november,i have my tickets in a safe place go tiger

  143. Graeme Henderson Says:

    I think Tiger Woods will win

  144. Stevie Monaghan Says:

    Sorry, having now looked at the field John Senden seems not to have made it,now going for Ben Crane,large price pretty solid.

  145. Teunis Heijkoop Says:

    I think that Geoff Ogilvy has both the game and the temperament needed to win at Beckpage Black and he also has returned to good form. Go Geoff!

  146. Chris Smith Says:

    I think Geoff Ogilvy is due and has the game to tame this monster

  147. Martin Goodwin Says:

    Camilo Villegas is a rising star so I think he has a great chance.

  148. John Larson Says:

    Tiger. He could dominate from wire to wire. He appears more ready than anyone else and has found his game again.

  149. Nick Flont Says:

    Tiger Woods!!!!

  150. Rusty Says:

    Being an Aussie I would have to say Geoff Ogilvy

  151. David Davies Says:

    Ian Poulter is the one for me….lots of flair and skill and I hope it all comes together for him.

  152. Todd Kruse Says:

    Tiger Woods of course.

  153. Chris Parry Says:

    Tiger Woods just love watching him play,he’s shown that he is back,no better player under pressure

  154. bob g. Says:

    el tigre

  155. Gary Moore Says:

    Tiger Woods, very committed and zoned in

  156. gordon seavey Says:

    phil is long overdue!

  157. William Heim Says:

    Casting my vote for Tiger Woods.

  158. TDoherty Says:

    Jim Furyk - Putting will be the difference and there is no one on Tour better than Furyk!!!

  159. Harry Boltz Says:

    My pick is Brian Gay. He is a disciple of The Golfing Machine and an excellent putter.

  160. Marty Vestal Says:

    Jim Furyk will win. Just couldn’t bring myself to vote for Tiger, though he would be the “safe” pick.

  161. Tracy Haines Says:

    Tiger Woods will repeat.

  162. Brian Johansen Says:

    Steve Stricker

  163. Tim Gortsema Says:

    Can’t bet against Tiger Woods.

  164. Tom Whitehead Says:

    vive Angel Cabrera

  165. William Nicodemus Says:

    All though this year’s event posses a strong field of possibilities, It has to be Tiger hands down. His game really seems to be on track!!

  166. Tom Whitehead Says:

    viva Angel Cabrera

  167. Macy Dennis Says:

    Jim Furyk will win in a play off against Tiger Woods. Thought I’d make it interesting.

  168. Lindsay Briggs Says:

    It´s coming to this side of the pond:
    IAN POULTER will go for it.

  169. Terry Silverton Says:

    I have to go with a Brit go Paul Casey

  170. Jim Jackson Says:

    Rory Sabbatini,,,, oh yeah, just wait, you’ll see…. :)

  171. John Grigsby Says:

    Tiger is hitting the ball well and his mental game is well………………………..Better than most !!!

  172. barry l. Says:

    camillo villegas is due

  173. Jay York Says:

    Its gotta be Tiger

  174. John Corcelli Says:

    Mike Weir
    Lots of players are “due”, but it’s always the pro who feels best that week and that day of the final round. But my vote is cast for Mike Weir, who’s been quietly improving his putting and making cuts this season. That’s just my opinion, as a fellow Canadian. I could be wrong.

  175. Jerry B Says:

    Furyk, he drives the ball in the fairway which is always key for a US Open, especially at Bethpage.

  176. Susan F. Says:

    Tiger

  177. Randy James Says:

    My vote is on Tiger, Phil has too many things on his mind and I do not think anyone else is playing as well as Tiger is right now.

  178. Ron K Says:

    I think it will be Tiger.

    He looks like he has finally recovered from his surgery.

  179. Norm F Says:

    Mickelson

  180. Gerald Canillo Says:

    Anyone can win, it’s hard to tell. But if Tiger can play as well as he did at the Memorial, I think he can win this years US open.

    So yes, I’ll vote for Tiger Woods.

  181. Scott Neave Says:

    I am going to pick Jim Furyk. Think he is due to win

  182. Scott Neave Says:

    I think Jim Furyk is due to win. He’s my pick.

  183. Kathie Ozar Says:

    I think it will be Tiger - For Sure!! :)

  184. Peter Staines Says:

    This aussie finished 14th at this same venue 4 years ago and he’s a lot better player than then. Ranks top 5 from tee to green and you won’t have to finish 15 under to win this…even or just better than par will do.
    It’s Robert Allenby for me…another top 5 finish last week…he’s ready!!!

  185. don fox Says:

    Jim Furyk will win

  186. dick wigdal Says:

    jim furyk will win

  187. Dave Leonard Says:

    Phil Mickelson. Fan favorite.

  188. Dennis Haynes Says:

    Boo Weekley

  189. Allen Williston Says:

    Tiger has that gleam in his eyes again. He wins it all!

  190. Alex Suarez Says:

    Steve Stricker!

  191. Dana Roeber Says:

    Tiger Woods all the way… Long and straight will win it.

  192. Chuck Says:

    David Toms will be the Man of the hour.

  193. Damon Says:

    I will have to say David Toms. Going for the underdog.

  194. John B Says:

    Vijay Singh or Zach Johnson

  195. Ron Smit Says:

    Ernie Els is due and will surprise everyone after a playoff with Goosen. Tiger 4 strokes back, and Phill misses the cut…you heard it here first.

  196. maxemax Says:

    Tiger will win it

  197. Billy Daniel` Says:

    tiger woods

  198. Jim Streeter Says:

    Everybody will be pulling for Phil but if Tiger can stay locked in like he
    was at The Memorial, he’ll repeat.

  199. Tory Nelson Says:

    I’m gonna have to go with Tiger. He’s fun to cheer against, but that’s only because he can win at any time.

  200. Frank Crombe Says:

    Tiger Woods will take it like maybe 4 under. He’s got his game back, has the length and the ability to get out of trouble. In addition, his short game and putting will pull him through to the top.
    FC

  201. Brant McLeod Says:

    I think it will be Tiger, he is alot more acurate on hitting fairways now, which makes a huge diffference at Bethpage Black.

  202. Dave Boullt Says:

    Tiger Woods

  203. Tom Graf Says:

    I’m going to pick Steve Stricker.

  204. Brian Murphy Says:

    Well let’s see, keep it in the fairway, hit the green and putt on linoleum. Phil will not be keeping it in the fairway. Tiger has been keeping in the fairway abliet the fairways were a wee bit wider a couple of weeks ago. I know Furyk isn’t that long but it will be in the fairway and he can putt very well when he’s on. The odds are in Tiger’s favor seeing as how this isn’t costing anything I’m going with “JIM FURYK WINS THE 2009 US OPEN”

  205. Travis H Says:

    Padraig Harrington!

  206. Ken Keizer Says:

    Definitely Tiger

  207. Martin Rocco Says:

    I’ll go with Angel Cabrera!

  208. Gary Says:

    Tiger Woods! Who else?

  209. Darrell Says:

    Tiger is fully recovered now. Just in time to win the Open!

  210. Jim Kelly Says:

    If Tiger won last year on one leg…….he will definitely win on two legs.
    Plus last week he was at the top …fairways hit off the tee which is mandatory for a US Open.

  211. Keith Almquist Says:

    Jim Furyk has changed his irons this year by takng blades and adding the forged back to it. His irons have been pure and deadly accurate this year. When you add the fact that he is always insanely accurate off the tee I see him as a lock for a top 5 performance. As long as his flat stick shows up with him this week Furyk is taking it down!

  212. Elton Dalmolin Says:

    TIGER WOODS!!!

  213. Lynn Zehr Says:

    Kenny Perry will get it going to make up for his Masters disappointment.

  214. Doug Cooper Says:

    Paul Casey

  215. Dave Malone Says:

    Brian Gay has such a hot putter right now and his tee to green is awful good………. I gotta say he’s hot enough to take it from Tiger.

  216. Shaker Says:

    Amateur Nick Taylor wins

  217. Dave Hampsey Says:

    Time a European won this thing - Lee Westwood could have done it last year, and I think he can do it if he putts well

  218. Terry Says:

    Tiger

  219. Pat Moriarty Says:

    Retief Goosen

  220. Steve Williams Says:

    Ross Fisher to win!!

  221. Ray Meager Says:

    It is about time Paul Casey won a big one.

  222. Greg McCann Says:

    My pick is Steve Stricker, he has played great this year and he won at Colonial which will give him a great confidence boost. Go Steve!

  223. Matt D Says:

    Gotta go with Furyk.

  224. Michael Martone Says:

    Tiger

  237. Edward McCormick Says:

    Tiger Woods - No one else will be even close!!!

  238. Mike T Says:

    Although Tiger is the overwhelming favourite and rightly so, I think Jim Furyk’s strength of finding fairways off the tee will allow him to edge Tiger.

  239. Kathy T. Says:

    I fully believe that Tiger will win the Open this year. I think he is primed and ready..

  240. Jan Dullenty Says:

    TIGER, TIGER All the Way….

    I love to watch Tiger….his expressions are priceless…winning or losing….

    Go Tiger….

  241. David Reid Says:

    Like many others, if you are going to bet, you bet on Tiger. Hard to bet against him. Doesn’t mean he will win, but it’s like flipping a coin with three sides and two sides are ‘heads’. You go with the odds.

  242. Charles Reid Says:

    Gonna’ go with Geoff. I like the Cobra products and any major is a bit of a toss up.

  243. Thomas P. Says:

    I think Tiger is ready this week.
    He’ll do it.

  244. SNP Says:

    David Toms–Straight,Long Enough, and a great putter!

    Gotta be Tiger. Watched him play out here in Columbus two weeks ago. He is primed and ready.

  250. Barry Says:

    Paul Casey To WIN The Open

  251. Mohd Suffri Hashim Says:

    Probability that Tiger Wood will win the open is 99% but golf is a crazy game. So my vote goes to my favourite player Phil Mickelson.

  252. Uwais Says:

    Tiger Woods surely will win…He’s coming back…

  253. Dave Moody Says:

    Brian Gay - is in winning form

  254. Nicholas Craig Says:

    It’s to hard to say anybody but Tiger.

  255. alan Says:

    Paul Casey to end the british drought of major winners

  256. Richard Norman Says:

    Inevitably I think it will be Tiger Woods who will win the US Open

    Geoff Ogilvy

  266. Alex Gold Says:

    Tiger

  267. RD Says:

    Gotta go with Tiger!

  268. Steve Says:

    I believe Cabrerra will hold off everyone.

  269. norm staar Says:

    Tiger Woods he back. That final round at memorial showed if
    he hits every fairway again the rest of field has no chance.

  270. barry Says:

    tiger is the easy answer, but i think angel cabrera will be the surprise winner.

  271. John Says:

    Phil Mickelson all the way

  272. Tom Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy

  273. Mark Says:

    Tiger has been hitting the ball so well and contolled lately. He’ll crush the field this week.

  274. gus Says:

    phil mickelson

  275. Saundra Says:

    Tiger Woods, my favorite.

    Geoff Ogilvy…..He’s ready with Tiger breathing down his neck…

  277. Phil Erli Says:

    Angel Caberra

  278. Larry Fornia Says:

    Tiger will win the US open after a playoff.

  280. Kirk Rowland Says:

    2 words. Tiger. Woods.

    Geoff Ogilvy will win.

  282. Bill Guilmette Says:

    After last week, Tiger is really back.

  283. Kurt Berry Says:

    It is gonna be my man Jimmy Furyk. He is playing well and overdue for a big win.

  284. Rob McIntyre Says:

    14 of 14 fairways at Jack’s open . . . in the final round . . um . . only person to finish under par at Bethpage in 02 . . . um . . won with a broken leg and torn up knee at Torrey last year . . is there any doubt? Come on!

    Tiger in a walk!

  285. Polly Kistner Says:

    My choice is Angel Caberra. He has proven time and time again he has the game to come through in the majors.

  286. Scott Leytem Says:

    Tiger will win. If he drives the ball the way he did at The Memorial, or even close to that, nobody else can keep up for four rounds.

  287. Bret Hanson Says:

    Geoff oglivy in a play off

  288. Ken Clark Says:

    Looking at the Tiger in practice - he has to retain his title. Tiger Woods to win

  289. Joyce Says:

    Tiger is mentally and physically ready to play. Hard to beat when all his concentration will be on winning.

  290. Frank Hennessey Says:

    Tiger to win! - Tiger is hot!

  291. Katherine Orlebeke Says:

    I think that David Toms will win because of his consistancy off the tee.

  292. Bret Hanson Says:

    geoff ogilvy in a play off

  293. Dan P Says:

    No question…Jim Furyk breaks through!

  294. Ed Kuehl Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy will win thte US Open this year.

  295. Bryant Daniels Says:

    I have to go with Tiger. He may not win, but the odds are greater for him than any other player.

  296. Matt LaBrosse Says:

    Phil Mickelson wins. He played well in 2002 and will have his revenge.

  297. Dave Says:

    Tiger Woods, if he drives it like he did at the Memorial it won’t be a contest.

  298. Andrew Ferraro Says:

    Longshot- Angel Cabrerra

  299. Ryan Says:

    Anthony Kim

  300. John Haag Says:

    May be the year for Jim Furyk- appears to be pretty consistent lately.

  301. Bob Lind Says:

    Steve Strickler is the man this week

  302. Tony Hill Says:

    I think Paul Casey has the momentum to win and ive baked him at the bookies too…

  303. thomas chalifoux Says:

    Tiger Woods will win again by five strokes

  304. Tony Davies Says:

    Of course it will be Freddie Couples !!!

  305. Jim H. Says:

    Tigger will tame the ” Beast of The East” !

  306. Colin Rowland Says:

    Gotta stay out of the ruff. Mike Weir.

  307. Tony Hill Says:

    I think Paul Casey has the momentum to win and ive backed him at the bookies too…

  308. Edward Butt Says:

    Has to be Geoff Ogilvy he’s really hot right now

  309. Sean Farrelly Says:

    Sergio Garcia to win this year

  310. Michael McCarthy Says:

    Tiger says he feels really good, so I feel really good about Tiger…

  311. Mike Ferris Says:

    I’m going with Jim Furyk, he’s due a major.

  312. Doug Booth Says:

    Have to go canadian - Mike Weir in a playoff

  313. Linda Rafferty Says:

    Although I would love to see Phil win it, he’s just not emotionally ready right now. Brian Gay has the momentum going into this tournament and wow….is his game on right now or what. My bet is on Brian to win at Bethpage.

  314. John Webb Says:

    Phil Mickelson will win.

  315. Joel Says:

    Justin Leonard

  316. Clayton Says:

    Tiger

  317. Mike GBN Says:

    If Angel can keep his mind under control, Cabrera is my man.

  318. Joe Vasquez Says:

    Rory Mcllroy

  319. John Potter Says:

    I believe Tiger will win.

  320. Daryle Says:

    Stricker has been on a roll and since everyone else is picking Tiger I’m playing the odds

  321. Steve Rudd Says:

    Paul Casey

  322. Christer Eldblom Says:

    I will go for Jim Furyk since he has already won U.S.Open and he like to play at N.Y. courses

  323. James Murray Says:

    Just about everyone says TIGER, but I am still going to go with Phil. Just has to keep his cool. PHIL will win.

  324. RJ Says:

    OK, so I’m a loyal, if not, soft-hearted Canadian - Weir for his 2nd Major!!!

  325. Mark Altavilla Says:

    Jim Furyk..it’s his time again!

  326. Ward McMahon Says:

    Mike Weir

  327. Mike Tennant Says:

    Tiger

  328. Rick Dunn Says:

    Definitely Tiger

  329. Sibonelo Says:

    Tiger of-course, by 2 strokes.

  330. Georges Boyer Says:

    It’s Tiger, no doubt.

  331. Tony Zoppi Says:

    I will go with Phil Michelson, he either win it or not make the cut.
    There will be a lot of emotion behind Phil, they loved him last time, and now it will be even bigger

  332. Steve Mitz Says:

    I think Sergio Garcia is due for a major (of course it depends on his putting)

  333. Pete Skalitzky Says:

    Cheering on Stricker and Weekly, but believe Tiger is going to win the Open. Seems he lives for the majors more than any other tourney.

  334. Harvey Soicher Says:

    Tiger for his 15th Major! He is driving the ball much better and if he keeps it in the Fairway no one will be able to touch him.

  335. Steven S Says:

    Brian Gay has the form and the game to win this.

  336. Mike Meyer Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy.

  337. Ken Abbey Says:

    Zack Johnson

  338. Elaine Potter Says:

    I’m going for PADRAIG HARRINGTON !!

  339. Stan Says:

    I’ll go with Sergio, Garcia is sooo due!!!

  340. Duke Says:

    Stephen Ames will be the dark horse , Go Canada !

  341. Chris B Says:

    Tiger…no doubt!

  342. Tim Erickson Says:

    Tiger will win the Open again.

  343. Doug Gillespie Says:

    It seems chiche, but Tiger Woods. Ogilvy was too up-and-down at the Memorial. He’ll choke when Tiger shows strength on Sunday.

  344. Ed Christianson Says:

    Jim Furyk

  345. Chawks Says:

    The huge hitting Paul Casey!!! Boooya

  346. Tom D Says:

    Stephen Ames - a transplated Canuck

  347. Brian L. Says:

    I believe it will be a showdown between the 2 favorites, Tiger and Phil, like they did at the Masters. The mental pwer will be there for both but it will come down to a stroke of mental power… Tiger will overtake the crown.

  348. Jason G Says:

    I’ll take camilo villegas, spiderman has got the ability, let’s see if he can put it all together

  349. frank Says:

    Tiger wins again.

  350. Hacker Says:

    Pickin’ Angel Cabrera!

  351. Brent Johns Says:

    I’m going to go with the lefty Phil Michelson

  352. Luis Camejo Says:

    Tiger will be the logical winner because of his mental strength but because his physical conditions are yet not 100% I will go with Jim Furyk

  353. Richard Nash Says:

    uhmmm, let’s see… Tiger Woods.

  354. charlie Says:

    Phil Mickelson

  355. Richard Sandell Says:

    Phil Mickelson - though he alot going on - this is his time to take the US Championship

  356. ken T Says:

    i think we will hear Tiger roar again.

  357. Kathy Says:

    Phil!

  358. Bill Stanton Says:

    Jim Furyk, He’s been in contention a lot lately. If he can close on Sunday he could be the winner.

  359. Parshooter72 Says:

    Gotta go with Tiger, he’s primed and ready.

  360. Rodney Preul Says:

    I think Tiger will come through this week

  361. Ken Says:

    Tiger Woods will win US Open.

  362. Rich McArdle Says:

    My pick is Phil Mickelson.

  363. Dan in MN Says:

    I have to go with Tiger and his score will be -5.

  364. Alan Says:

    Adam Scott!!!

  365. J H Potter Says:

    I would have to go with Phil Mickelson

  366. Scott Wagner Says:

    The Steelers won the Super Bowl, the Penguins just won the Stanley Cup, and a Pittsburgh guy will win the U.S. Open…Jim Furyk!

  367. Kevin Murphy Says:

    I believe it will be Mike Weir.

  368. Joe Y. Says:

    Tiger Woods

  369. Carl Chesbrough Says:

    Phil Mickelson!

  370. Mike from MN Says:

    I can’t bet against Tiger.

  371. C. Yuke Says:

    Sergio Garcia

  372. Chad Zimpfer Says:

    Tiger Woods will win.

  373. Robert Leonard Says:

    I will take Paul Casey.

  374. Stephen Powell Says:

    I just can’t go against the favorite…Tiger.

  375. Joseph Lunday Says:

    Tiger is my pick when he in the field it’s hard to bet against him. Especially when he has some thing to prove …

    I hope Amy (Phil) wins it as my second choice … because he been so close so many times …

  376. Steve Says:

    While I want to say Tiger, I’m putting my vote in for Paul Casey.

  377. Brian Pevlin Says:

    Mike Weir he is due

  378. John L Says:

    I think if Angel Cabrerra keeps out of the rough, with his lenght & strenght, he will pull this out!

  379. Willie Roper Says:

    Tiger will win.

  380. David Harrison Says:

    Brian Gay …. he hits fairways and greens

  381. Paul G. Jones Says:

    Tiger Repeat!!

  382. E. Cook Says:

    Much as I’d love to see Weir win, my vote has to go to Tiger.

  383. Rod Jenkins Says:

    It will be Tiger, he was phenomenal at Memorial a couple of weeks ago, and that will carry him over to victory in the U.S. Open.

  384. Bob Snyder Says:

    Tiger is the prohibitive favorite. I am going with Angel Cabrerra.

  385. Pat White Says:

    My long shot and sure no one has picked this one is Angel Cabrera, everyone I’m sure is picking Tiger or Phil!

  386. WJ Says:

    TIGER

  387. Bill Townsend Says:

    My pick is Angel Cabrera

  388. Meredith Says:

    Tiger, please

  389. Dale Stout Says:

    Tiger’s hitting fairways. He’s top 5 in GIR’s when he wasn’t hiting fairways, it’s pretty simple. In the fairway he’s close to unbeatable.

  390. Paul Wise Says:

    Jim Furyk will win this week. Tiger in the top 5. Tim Clark, Phil Mickelson, and Steve Stricker all in contention.

  391. Dan paterson Says:

    Mike Weir will jump up and surprise.

  392. Frankie Says:

    I think Sergio will surprised and runs for victory on Sunday.

  393. Conor OReilly Says:

    I think you will rue not including P Harrington in your top five. Padraig to win in a play off !

  394. Dave Dilley Says:

    Definitely a long shot, but I like Kenny Perry’s chances. He is long and steady.

  395. Rick Whitbeck Says:

    It’s darn near impossible to not pick Tiger, especially the way he tore up the fairways at Jack’s place. Nonetheless, I’m going to do it. Padraig Harrington.

  396. Joe McVety Says:

    It’s going to be Tiger…

  397. Eddie Rosario Says:

    Tiger’s the man… I think he’ll win by two strokes at around -3.

  398. Terry Mailloux Says:

    While for many reasons I would like Phil Mickelson to win I think it will be Geoff Ogilvy. Has played well and the length of course will not be a problem

  399. Victor Says:

    Sean O’Hair

  400. Bill Aldrich Says:

    Tiger from start to finish

  401. Donnie Weston Says:

    Tiger’s the man !

  402. Matt DeLaat Says:

    Phil Mickelson! I feel it!

  403. William Brown Says:

    It will be Tiger. No one else can hold up to the pressure like he does. Others tend to fold when they make a mistake and they know Tiger is chasing them or if he is in front of them they give up. It will be Tiger.

  404. Steve Wilson Says:

    I think it will be Tiger… I think it rather foolish to even pick ‘the field’ against him this week after he played so well his last outing.

  405. Wendell H. Says:

    Tiger has the edge.

  406. Roberto de la Cabada Says:

    Tiger Woods

  407. Bill Zerebesky Says:

    Finally, a US Open title for Phil Mikelson

  408. Scott Says:

    John Daly will win the us open.

  409. Marlene Says:

    Hope Tiger and Phil are in the final group Sunday and expect Tiger to win the tournament. I wish Amy and Phil the best outcome in their more important fight to beat cancer.

  410. John Skelly Says:

    Not too many going for Phil, very surprising, he’s my choice. Do it for Amy!!!.

  411. Bob L. Says:

    Tiger Woods by 3 strokes with Jim Furyk runner up.

  412. Tim Says:

    Tiger Woods

  413. Jim Wilson Says:

    As much as I like Tiger, I think Paddy Harrington in the wind and the rain will win. He’s a mudder and used to playing in it.

  414. William Abel Says:

    Because hs’s the best.

  415. Kevin Says:

    Don’t know how you could go against the favorite but I’ll take my chances and say Angel Cabrerra. Hopefully with his length and the apparent wet conditions, he may have an advantage here as long as he can get the flatstick going.

  416. Peter Ferguson Says:

    My pick is Jim Furyk

  417. Jeff Stone Says:

    Tiger Woods with two good legs to stand on! The competitive juices are burning HOT and he will prevail.

  418. Jeff Troutman Says:

    Justin Rose takes it by a stroke. I just can’t pick Tiger.

  419. Gary Miller Says:

    I believe that Tiger will win

  420. T.J. Silverstrim Says:

    Rory McIlroy

  421. Gary Bursae Says:

    I’ll take Retief Goosen…he always does good at the U.S. Open.

  422. Garry Allen Says:

    Paul Casey - in a playoff with Tiger!

  423. luis Says:

    SERGIO GARCIA, (FIRST MAYOR)

  424. J. Andino Says:

    Steve Sticker will do it with Tiger in second

  425. D.Staples Says:

    Tiger Woods has the mental advantage!

  426. Ken Says:

    Phil will be a sentimental favorite but I think his ‘other distraction’ will make him stronger, not weaker, and he will win in the end.

  427. Dan Poggione Says:

    Zack Johnson

  428. Dan Poggione Says:

    Zack Johnson takes home all the marbles.

  429. Robert Mackey Says:

    Phil Michelson will be my sentimental pick.

  430. Melissa C. Says:

    Angel Cabrera - he is my darkhorse favorite. This type of course suits his eye and he somehow manages to sneak up the leaderboard without anyone noticing. I wish it would be an American though! :)

  431. Blaine Phillips Says:

    Weather will be a factor, but Geoff Ogilvy is my pick.

  432. Ron Mullard Says:

    Being a Brit I’ll go for Paul Casey With his current run of form.

  433. Marc Kuestermann Says:

    Ernie Els

  434. Andrew Cregan Says:

    Let’s go with Zach Johnson

  435. Trevor Hyde Says:

    Paul Casey is my pick. Fingers crossed.

  436. Jrad Says:

    Tiger looses in a playoff with………..KENNY PERRY

  437. Bernie D Says:

    Tiger…one more time

  438. Ron Mullard Says:

    Being a Brit I’ll go for Paul Casey with his current form.

  439. Rodrigo Valdes Says:

    Paul Casey!

  440. brenda Says:

    Jim Furyk will win this one. Really hard not to pick Tiger but I am going to pick Jim Furyk ~ he has been playing well lately and I would like to seem him win. Go Jim Furyk ~ I could really use those instructional DVD’s!

  441. Bob R Says:

    Phil Mickelson…he will overcome the distractions.

  442. Denys Benoit Says:

    Tiger has to reestablish that he is still the one after surgery, the only one that can rewrite the performance book.

  443. Sherwood Says:

    Odds on favorite is Tiger, but it should be close this year. There are many good players playing well.

  444. Ken B Says:

    Phil Mickelson this week.

  445. Doug Harvey Says:

    I have to go with Tiger Woods. He has issues to prove and after his last win, he will only be better. I forecast a runaway victory.

  446. E. Campbell Says:

    Phil Mickelson

  447. Brian Webber Says:

    I’m going to pick a non favourite but an up and coming contender: Anthony Kim

  448. Russ Says:

    Tiger is the easy pick, but this week it will be Jim Furyk.

  449. Kevin J. Cavanaugh Says:

    Anybody but Tiger is a long shot.

  450. Gary Small Says:

    Tiger — for sure — it is his time.

  451. Arden Bauman Says:

    My pick has to be Tiger. Mental toughness and skill will win!

  452. Karl Says:

    Tiger Woods is the easy pick. We should really be asking who will finish second. My pick is Phil for another 2′nd place.

  453. RICHARD COOK Says:

    Tiger Woods…

  454. Jeff L. Says:

    Gotta go with Tiger

  455. Robert Bilardo Says:

    I would definitely have to go with Tiger, it appears he is getting his game back. I was very impressed with his ball striking, and hitting fairways last week, he was struggling after his comeback. His putting is real close to being where he was prior to his surgery.

  456. scott Says:

    I pick Angel Cabrera.

  457. Bob Kelly Says:

    I am thinking that Lefty, will be inspired and take this. Phil will do it.

  458. The Dune Says:

    Jim Furyk. Accurate driver. Superior putter. I’m winning those DVD’s Brenda !!!

  459. Gib Tompkins Says:

    Tiger ALL THE WAY!!!

  460. William L Phillips Says:

    I hope Steve Stricker will win, his a very nice guy & he played college golf at the University of Illinois, which is in my home town.

  461. Phillibuster Says:

    Sean OHair

  462. Steve Falconer Says:

    It would be hard to bet agains Tiger after last week, but for grins let’s go with a long shot: Bubba Watson

  463. Estuardo Says:

    Hi, I pick Cabrera!

  464. Danielle Says:

    Phil Mickelson…what a great spirit lifter it would be!

  465. Grace Says:

    Definitely Two for Tiger!

  466. Yo Mizusaki Says:

    Camilo Villegas

  467. Doug Says:

    Can another Euro ever win the US Open, especially one played on a public course in NY? Maybe Paul Casey.

  468. James V. H. Says:

    Tiger Woods………… need to go with a proven winner.
    He will help himself with a fast start, not playing catch up!!!!

  469. Scott Says:

    Could it be Segio’s time?

  470. Scott Says:

    Could it be Sergio’s time?

  471. Steve Batty Says:

    Paul Casey to win!!

  472. Robert Nichols Says:

    I will pick Tiger although there are many others who could do it: Stricker, Gay, Johnson, Perry and others…I do not expect Mickelson to do very well - to much pressure and stress otherwise although he has the skills to win.

    All this is said without consideration of all the ‘foreign’ golfers, many of whom are also capable.

  473. paul n long Says:

    Brian Gay to win. He has momentum

  474. Herbert Wohlf Says:

    Jim Furyk has the game and he is immune to the Tiger intimidation factor if they end up playing in the last group together.

  475. Brandon Gilham Says:

    Phil Mickelson is going to win it all the way

  476. Jim Fujioka Says:

    I pick Jim Fuyrk.

  477. Keith Mercatoris Says:

    There are many that could win this year, but I gota go with Tiger.

  478. Elvis Y. Kimura Says:

    Gotta be Tiger Woods! He will be hitting long irons into the greens. Others will most likely use hybrids or woods.
    Tiger is accurate with his long irons, more than the feild is with their hybrids and fairway woods.

  479. Cecil Brunson Says:

    Tiger Woods because he has shown at Memorial he has the woods, irons, putter and course management skills at his highest level of play ever.

  480. Bob Shafer Says:

    I’m going with David Toms.

  481. allen hance Says:

  485. Ricky Rick Says:

    Steve Stricker is the stick this week!

  486. Pete K Says:

  487. Paul Says:

    I pick Tim Clark

  488. PAT Says:

    TIGER, WITHOUT A DOUBT.

  489. Mike Says:

  490. H Ken Elkins Says:

    Steve Stricker to win 2009 U S Open

  491. Larry Says:

  492. Thom V. Says:

    Tiger will be the man!

  496. Roland Says:

    It’s got to be Tiger

  497. G.E.W Treacy Says:

    The precociousness of youth and if things fall into place can win.

  501. G. Benjamin Says:

    Tiger’s on the prowl again!!!

  502. Barbara W Says:

  503. Michael M Says:

    Tiger

  504. Allan B Says:

    Tiger will win but it would be great fore Phil to win!

  505. Jack Says:

  506. Patrick Walton Says:

    Geoff Oligvey in a playoff with Tiger

  507. Doug Connell Says:

    Padrick Harrington

    Someone new will win! Sean O’Hair

  511. P.H.C. Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy mentally tuffer this year

  512. Lee Kee Meng Says:

    Angel Cabrera can handle this major.

  513. Dennis S. Says:

    What about Rocco! Nah, hard to go against Tiger. Tiger it is.

  514. Rowland Says:

    It is a Brit’s turn so I go with Paul Casey

  515. Murray N Says:

    Tiger all the way

  516. John Meldrum Says:

    I fancy an outsider this year! Sean O’Hair is my pick! I think he can win a major this year! Obviously Tiger is favourite but the favourite does not win all the time!

  517. Brian Wilson Says:

    Mike Weir (quess what country I am from?)

  518. Dave Johnson Says:

    Tiger Woods… hard to beat if he plays as he did at Memorial.

  525. Kevin Henry Says:

    Tiger Woods!!!! How can you bet against him.

  526. Jaime Says:

    Odds on favorite is Tiger, but I’ll go for Paul Casey in an upset!

  527. Wayner Henry Says:

    Paddy Harrington will dominate.

  528. Greg Hawkins Says:

    Kenny Perry! He started last year with determination to make the Ryder Cup and “made it so”…his stated goal for this year? Win a major! A close call at the Masters already…he has the length to conquer Bethpage Black.

  529. Grahame Says:

    My GUT feeling is Tiger but for the sake of supporting the ‘Boys from the Ole Homeland’ I’ll go in the competition as saying ………..

    Paul Casey (on the 3rd playoff hole!!).

  530. graham faraday Says:

    Steve Stricker has to be a big chance if anyone is to upset Tiger. He has been very consistent all year. James Nitties could be a dark horse

  531. Ray D Says:

    Got to go with Tiger.

  532. Frank Borja Says:

  537. Mike D Says:

    TIGER

  538. Adam Jones Says:

    Phil M. One for his lady friend

  539. Justin LeClair Says:

    Tiger will take the Phil approach by leaving the Driver in the bag… except he will win! Good luck to everyone, I’m predicting a -6 winning score and of course the double fist pump by Mr. Woods.

  540. Stew Bell Says:

    Going with an outsider (?) Chad Campbell. Winning score two over par.

  547. Chuck E. Says:

    Jim Furyk

  548. John Spencer Says:

    Tiger

  549. Douglas T Says:

    Well odds favorite has got to be Mr Woods, but winning Majors isn’t easy let alone back to back wins at an rain soaked Bethpage Black… I believe its gonna come down to fairways hits to capture this years US Open. So with that said I’m gonna pick Geoff Ogilvy. He hits em straight and deep with the best of them

  550. Patrick Johnston Says:

    Jim Furyk

  551. BILL DRISCOLL Says:

    i HOPE LEFTY WINS ,BUT I GOTTA GO WITH JIM FURYK

    Tiger without a doubt will be the big winner.

  557. Gordon Holmes Says:

    I must go with the odds Tiger is a winner.

  558. Stvee Guthrie Says:

    David Toms

  559. John Muench Says:

    I will take the winner of the Players - Henrik Stenson

  560. Gary Allan Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy says his ’swing is back’ and he is ready, despite recent poor showings … I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt to win!!

  568. Carlos Says:

    Angel Cabrera

  569. Roger Holcroft Says:

    Tiger Woods is about due for a big win.

  570. Paul Says:

    I’d like to pick Stuart Appleby because he comes from my home town in Cohuna, but I’m going for Henrik Stenson.

  571. john lee Says:

    PHIL

  572. Les Says:

    Lee Westwood

  573. Beagle Says:

    Length… Bubba Watson

  574. Pamela Waters Says:

    A real outsider - New Zealander Doug Baty - go Kiwi!

  575. Yayin Torres Says:

    My friends in Puerto Rico vote for Tiger Woods

  576. Philip Says:

    I have a hunch that Jim Furyk will win the US Open. After finishing one behind Tiger last week, he is hungry for a win and will be more focused than he has been all year.

  577. Don Says:

    Don’t ignore the power of positive thinking. There are probably over 50,000,000 men and women, not all of them golfers, pulling for Amy. By extension, Phil also.

  578. Tony Says:

    The impact on the golfing world by Mr. Eldrick “Tiger” Woods rivals that of Mr.’s Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera ! He raised the bar as fitness is concerned, he adopted the familial charisma of Mr. Palmer and combined it with the skills of Mr. Nicklaus, and the shot precision of Mr. Robert(Bobby) Jones. For anyone to select another player to win is, in my estimation, (s-up-d), (fill in the blanks) quite ludicrous ! He selects the tournaments he knows attracts the best golfers in the world to re-establish his superiority and to destroy their confidence just by entering.
    If, during this OPEN, Tiger is challenged by anyone other than Phil, he will, essentially, leave them in the dust. However, out of compasson for Amy Mickelson, he will make it exciting to keep Phil in the limelight, and may allow him to be victorious.
    Last year, with a bad knee, he wanted to punish Rocco Mediate for wearing RED on the final day(s), but, he made Rocco look really good in his humbling. There is a method in his madness. Remember, Tiger plays with people’s minds as well as their games.

  579. Andy Downes Says:

    He hasn’t yet won his own National Open, but I’m going with Mike Weir to win the US Open, who will then go on to win the Canadian Open, later this year.

  580. Thomas Romero Says:

    Going with the old man- Kenny Perry

  581. Laurie O'Connor Says:

    Anthony Kim to realise his promise.

  582. Fred Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy for back to back wins.

    “Ozzzie, Ozzie, Ozzie - O1 Oi Oi”

  583. keith h Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy tackles Bethpage.

  584. Lowell Says:

    I am picking Phil Mickelson

  585. Jeff Ault Says:

    I gotta go with Phil not only for his abilities but also for his extra incentive to win for his wife. Go pink Phil!

  586. Dennis N Says:

    How can you not like Tiger’s chances? He’ll do it again.

  587. Pat Gounder Says:

    Jim Furyk is playing consistent golf.He is my man for the open

  588. Allan Says:

    Robert Allenby if his putter works

  589. Dalu Says:

    I just expect phil michelson to win the open and be back to the top.

  590. Ed Says:

    Ian Poulter if the weather is bad

  591. Dalu Says:

    phil mickelson.

  592. lou Says:

    Tiger should be everyone’s pick and he’ll probably win but I think there may still be some test to his knee that hasn’t shown up due to easier conditions than he’ll face this week, so my pick is Jim Furyk

  593. Rod W Says:

    Rori Sabbatini

  594. Ed Says:

    i have strong belief that it will be Tiger woods. His win in the Memorial only shows that he is back to his best form ever.

  595. Ricardo Says:

    I go for Geoff Ogilvy. Cheers!

  596. Ginny Gross Says:

    With Tiger’s discipline, I think he will prevail.

  597. Alan Kerr Says:

    Tiger is back to win, Phil will be close behind.

  598. Colin Morrison Says:

    Tiger is looking good again!

  608. William Bordelon Says:

    Phil Mickelson

  609. Frank Tan Says:

    Tiger will be the one if can consistently find those fairways with his drive and not to mention his short game.

  610. John Uncle (Aunty Jack!) Says:

    My head says Tiger … but the heart says either Mickleson or Ogilvy!

  611. jonathan Says:

    tiger!!! listen to him roar!!

  612. cory berghofer Says:

    i think that tiger is a difinite winner of to open but i really hope phil mickelson does well for is ill wife.

  613. Matt McElroy Says:

    It’s gotta be Tiger! His will can win it alone.

  614. ralph l Says:

    phil michelson will win.

  615. michael beckner Says:

    I’m betting on Tiger.

  616. Kelly Delacher Says:

    Tiger is going to dominate this thing!

  617. Ron Ackerman Says:

    I think Tiger can pull this out.

  618. Ken Prescott Says:

    I pick Tiger to win by 2 shots

  619. Kevin Culpan Says:

    I think Jim Furyk must be due for a big win.

    Good luck Jim.

  620. Donald Nelson Says:

    Steve Stricker

  621. Victor Page Says:

    Zach Johnson will finally show that he really belongs in the top 5 of golfs elite.

  622. Eric Says:

    Tiger will be the one with the trophy come Sunday!

  623. Keith Hoyle Says:

    Zach Johnson

  624. wally Says:

    My pick is Kenny Perry

  625. James Says:

    TIGER

  626. James Says:

    furik

  627. Chad Cook Says:

    Tiger Woods to win by 7 shots and will say -9 par.

    Cheers

    TIGER almost for sure………

  631. Roy Tibbs Says:

    Tiger Woods will win it!

  632. Will Hsiung Says:

    Phil Mickelson, he’ll finally win a US Open and it’s where he became NY’s favorite.

  633. Pradit Says:

    Paul Casey to win

  634. Howard Gross Says:

    Even though I love to watch Tiger win, I think Stenson is in top form and I know he has the length to get it done. I go with Henrik and wish I could get good odds on him to.

  635. Ann W Says:

    Jim Furyk

  636. Gerry Wollert Says:

    Tiger Woods will win the U.S. Open again.

  637. Poh Says:

    I believe TIGER still king of the king…

  638. George Cepress Says:

    Retief Goosen will win the US Open in 2009.

  639. Dave Says:

    Geoff Ogilvy

  640. Richard Pearman Says:

    Tiger will win 2009 US Open

  641. Richard Maddren Says:

    What about Adam Scott - He may be right to show his full potential

  642. Edward Kodatt Says:

    I root for anyone but Tiger, but I can’t bet against him. Tiger this time.

  643. Larry Tash Says:

    If I have to pick one player to win, I can’t pick against Tiger.

  644. edna Says:

    has to be tiger.

  645. Edie Says:

    has got to be tiger.

  657. Jaspal Says:

    I place my bet on Tiger Woods :)

  658. Jim from Aust Says:

    I’d have to say Ogilvy as an Aussie, Tiger with my head but but one of the Aussie “apples” Robert or Stuart (hope their playing) with my heart.

  659. Peter Says:

    I belive in Søren Hansen from Denmark

  660. Boon Says:

    On merit I just can’t go pass Tiger Woods.

    Of-course, the level in the pro ranks is so high nowadays that anyone in the field can win “on their day”. That too if only Tiger comes up with a sore throat and cannot roar.

  661. Donovan F Says:

    I go with Tiger Woods not because he is a safe bet as someone put it but on major form ithas to be Tiger

  662. Laurie W Says:

    I think Stricker.

  663. Laurence Says:

    The crowd will be behind Phil Mickelson - So with this support he is the man to beat

  664. Bennie Coetzer Says:

    I vote for Sergio - He is hungry enough and got very close a couple of times. Go Sergio

  665. Noel Gilmartin Says:

    Padraig Harrington to come out of his slump form and win the US Open 2009

  666. Ray Foley Says:

    Paul Casey for the open in 2009.

  667. Peter M Says:

    Ogilvy for me, but look for Paul Casey or David Toms.

  668. DANIEL BROWN Says:

    BRIAN GAY. HE’S HOT, HOT, HOT. AND GREAT PUTTER.

  669. Stan Fisken Says:

    Phil Mickelson has the best reason in the world to rise to this challenge. His loving wife

  670. JJ Louw Says:

    Tiger is playing well, Phill has all the motivation and support but my pick is Padraig Harrington as he always seems to pull out something special for the Majors.

  671. Frank Says:

    Phil will win.

  672. Chris Harvey Says:

    Heart says Tiger,Head says Brian Gay (the golfing machine, holds the secret) the weather conditions say Paulric (padraig)Harrington or Ian Poulter, but as I could come second in a one ticket lottery……Graeme Macdowell. Cmon gmac!

  673. Tan HY Says:

    I will go for Tiger Wood . He will emerge as the winner comes sunday!

  674. Simmon Edwards Says:

    It going to be a tough open but Tiger just has that edge on everbody else
    So Tiger Woods is my pick.

  675. Les Dobson Says:

    Welcome back Tiger, but not this year for you, my pick Sergio Garcia due to good stats for fairways found.

  676. Joe Falsetto Says:

    Tiger Woods

  677. Rachel O. Says:

    Tiger is an easy pick, but I am going with Retief Goosen.

  678. Richard Cormack Says:

    Ian Poulter is due a win

  679. Mo Smith Says:

    For me it has to be Lee Westwood. So close last year Lee is the man from tee to green, if his putter gets hot (well overdue!) then this will be his week. Whoever wins though this looks like being a fantastic major, can’t wait!

  680. JAMES KELLY Says:

    Angel Cabrera. He has the length and the short game to win.

  681. David Rann Says:

    I reckon Paul Casey to win - why not if the weather is going to be like in England?

  682. Y.P. Liu Says:

    Angel Cabrela for the under the radar pick!!

  683. gerald hendron Says:

    p. harington i am loyal

  684. Mark Jaroscak Says:

    Tiger Woods in the rain the best.

  685. Andy Thomas Says:

    Paul Casey will win.

  686. bob wolcott Says:

    zack johnson

  687. garry schoening Says:

    Retief Goosen

  688. Glenn Dobson Says:

    Rory Mcllory

  689. Adrian Feregotto Says:

    Just to be slightly different - Padraig Harrington! But figure the emotion if Phil wins! Or the awe if Tiger repeats!

  690. Suzanne Kelley Says:

    hard to bet against Tiger…

  691. Fred Hudgins Says:

    Jim Furyk. He has been playing well right. I think he will work his way around this course well. Accuracy will be the key to his victory, but I tink he will win it.

  692. Marcus Says:

    C’mon Aussie!! Ogilvy should do it

  693. Mario Mojica Says:

    Tiger will win

  694. Stan Russell Says:

    Please enter Phil Mickelson . My choice to win US Open

    Stan

  695. Tom Rodgers Says:

    I think Brian Gay will win with accuracy and a hot putter.

  696. Jeffrey Cunningham Says:

    Going with the #10 ranked Paul Casey.

  697. JD Sampedro Says:

    Tiger is the easy pick. I am going with Camilo Vollegas as the dark horse who’ll win it.

  698. JD Sampedro Says:

    Tiger is the easy pick. I am going with Camilo Villegas as the dark horse who’ll win it.

  699. don levy Says:

    Stenson will win.

  700. john Says:

    tigaaaaahhhh w0000000ddddsssssss

  701. Ken Holmes Says:

    Tigar should get it done

  702. Ken Holmes Says:

    Tiger should get it done

  703. Walter Williams Says:

    I would really like to see a new face in the winner circle, but I must look at the course and how difficult it is. This would limit the field to Stricker, Mickelson, Woods, Furyk and Wier. Long shots would be Harrington, Villegas, Johnson and Goosen.

    I would love to see a Woods - Mickelson playoff with Woods winning, but I think that Brian Gay could have the tools to win this week if he stays within is game and Woods or Mickelson is not breathing down his neck.

    So, I am going with Gay.

  704. wayne Says:

    I think Brian Gay will win.

  705. Lou Varljen Says:

    Paul Casey will be the winner. So far this year, he has been the most consistent.

  706. Nick Valiante Says:

    My choice is :
    Winner-Tiger Woods
    2nd-Jim Furyk
    3rd Phil MICKELSON

    ALL have a good chance to win-but I choose Tiger as champ

  707. Nick Valiante Says:

    I think Tiger will win in play off with furyk

  708. Keith B Says:

    Brian Gay is accurate and tidy and calm under pressure. I think he offers best value bet!

  709. Ivan Says:

    Tiger will win.

  710. Mel Says:

    Tiger Woods

  711. Kevo Neston Says:

    Paul Casey just mightbe in with a chance.

  712. Stan Becker Says:

    Tiger Woods will win it.

  713. Ernie Lober Says:

    I think Geoff Ogilvy will win the US Open

  714. Robb Chan Says:

    After the surgery rehab. Tiger seems to be a bit sluggish. However, the past games he did indirectly show he was not just about to be pushed over.
    Every one has a chance to win but can anyone withstand the pressure and the intimidation of his presence. Particularly, playing in his flight.
    I go with Tiger.

    Robb Chan

  715. Anthony Says:

    My pick :-Angel Cabrera the Argentinian !

  716. Rob Says:

    There’s a reason he’s number one. Tiger.
