Welcome to US Open week…or better known as the week that USGA takes a historic golf program and finds new and different techniques to destroy it. The only good thing that this week is that Mike Davis has relinquished his yearly butchering of the golf course and turned it over to John Bodenhamer who’s run USGA amateur events since 2011. I have to think John can’t possibly screw up the course set-up anywhere near what Mike Davis has done the past few years. Again, the bar is not set very high unfortunately.
The best news of the week however is that we return to the West Coast significance we receive primetime golf. I can’t begin to tell you how much this arouses me. Sunday breakfast in the Masters and Saturday night US Open golf at Pebble Beach two weeks apart is about as good as it gets in my view.
So let’s just assume John isn’t a complete fool like Mike Davis and that he leaves well . We get a US Open, as intended, on a historic course with tight fairways, long rough and not a clown’s mouth in site. Going off that assumption I think this week we are left with one of the strongest leaderboards of the year. To put it differently, I think this week, that the cream rises to the top. So with no real significant surprises will the best on earth shake out this week? We break down the top contenders from the field for your 2019 US Open.
(As always, odds are at this time this has been written and will probably change throughout the week)
