Welcome into US Open week…or better known as the week which USGA takes a historic golf program and discovers new and different ways to ruin it. The only good news this week is that Mike Davis has relinquished his annual butchering of the golf program and turned it on to John Bodenhamer who’s run USGA amateur events since 2011. I need to think John can not possibly screw up the course set-up anywhere close to what Mike Davis has done the last couple of years. Then again, the bar isn’t set very high unfortunately.
The best thing of the week however is that we return to the West Coast meaning we receive primetime golf. I can not begin to tell you just how much this excites me. Sunday breakfast at the Masters and Saturday night US Open golf at Pebble Beach two weeks apart is roughly as good as it gets in my opinion.
Let’s just assume John isn’t a complete fool like Mike Davis and he leaves well enough. We receive a US Open, as planned, on a historical course with tight fairways, long rough and not a clown’s mouth in site. Going off that assumption I believe this week we are left with one of this year’s strongest leaderboards. To put it differently, I believe that the cream rises to the surface this week. So with no real major surprises how will the very best in the world shake this week? We break down the top contenders from the field for the 2019 US Open.
(As always, chances are at this time this was written and Will Likely change throughout the week)
