Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Bubba Watson. These three gentlemen will be paired for the opening round at this year's U.S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. There is a lot of hype surrounding this group as it features three of the best golfers in the world. However, neither Mickelson nor Watson compare to Tiger Woods.
Coming off a remarkable win at the Memorial Tournament only a couple weeks ago, Woods enters the U.S. Open as the 3-1 odds favorite. Tiger's win at Memorial was his 73rd PGA Tour win of all time tying him Jack Nicklaus for 2nd all-time. Tiger is now only 9 PGA Tour wins behind Sam Sneed who has the most PGA Tour wins of all-time at 82.

Heading into the Olympic Club there's only one real question concerning Tiger. Will he be atop the leader board on Sunday afternoon? Only time will tell as this year's U.S. Open will be very intriguing and fun to watch.
The tournament begins this Thursday on ESPN. Do yourself a favor and try to catch some of the action. I'm going out on a limb here and picking Tiger to win. If he is in contention come Sunday I expect him - in his infamous red Nike polo - to walk off the 18th green as the 2012 U.S. Open champion.
I'm taking off, you take it easy.
