Agree with Jimmy 200% here,

How can the reigning Masters champ be a dark horse!   ::)

If we're doing two picks.  I'll take DJ first and Jason Day as my backup.

P.S.  Phil is just not on form.  I know he has a history of great finishes at the US Open but he hasn't won in 3 years and hasn't been in contention at the US Open since Merion. To boot the last time it was held at Oakmont he missed the cut, so in Shivas like fashion I'll eat my hat if Phil even finishes in the top 10.

Jason Day.

He's cool.  I like him.  And he hit a 308 yard 2-iron on the final hole of the Players Championship.

Thunderstorms are likely from Thursday noon on, okay for the rest of the tournament.  Quality players who could complete their round and avoid the catching up to schedule include Bubba Watson (T-7 at last Oakmont open) and Patrick Reed,

The weather forecast significantly helps Rory...


I will regret this, but I think DJ wins.


I believe Spieth will struggle.

Whoever Ron Montesano thinks has no chance of finishing in the top 5. See the WPGA post. LOL.
Spieth at -1.

They guy with the most patience who is hitting it well.  My theory on Oakmont is that it rewards solid ball striking more than great putting because if you are not hitting greens, you have no chance.

Remember that round at Castle Pines?


Jason Day appears to have the best all around game these days, and knows how to close the deal.  Spieth seems jittery, with the Augusta debacle in the front of his mind.

There's a lot of golf left, but Lowry now finds himself in the lead.
