US Open 2011 16th-19th June at Congressional Country Club

[Milltown Row2]

Have went for leaders of the first round. Casey, Kaymer, Chio, Molinari.

Only a pound on them each, as the gambling addiction needs attention Tony

[Megaman]

went for KJ Choi, Stricker and Kaymer myself

any of you yanks on here wanna buy some very good tickets?

[J OGorman]

anyone know odds you would get for  McIlroy / Mickelson both finishing in the top 3?

cheers

[venter]

Mickelson will finally win a US open.

Three that i reckon will do well:
Luke Donald
Matt Kuchar
Mark Wilson

I think Harry will fail to make the cut (hope im proved wrong on that one)

[mackers]

Mickleson's wayward driving means that the US Open is the major I would fancy him the least in.
Westwood would be my pick.

[Radda bout yeee]

How has Paul Casey been playing recently? - Always fancied him for a major but think he went off the boil over the last few years!

[Bogball XV]

Mickleson's wayward driving means that the US Open is the major I would fancy him the least in.
Westwood would be my pick.

5 second places - not a bad record - a wee bit better than hi British Open record where he's only been in half contention once.

[leaveherinsir]

Not a betting man, but i think Mickelson, Kuchar, Poulter, Goosen, Scott. Very difficult to predict the majors recently, anyone one of at least 50 golfers could win this. If i remember right no one on here tipped Schwartzel in the Masters thread.

[Pat Mustard]

E/W bets on:

Mickelson 16/1
Day 45/1
Goosen 60/1
Fowler 80/1
Cabrera 100/1
Oosthuizen 200/1 (also a bet on him to lead after first day)

If none of the above are in contention after the cut I'll have another few bets.

[Rossie11]

Picks and reasons
Mickelson 16/1   Accuracy might be poor but ability to reach the green from trouble is a huge help
Goosen   66/1    Under the radar and twice US open winner and regular contender. 3rd last week
Love    210/1     Loves this course and was 6th last year
Mahan   30/1     Could have won 2 years ago but for terrible bad luck. Good record on course
Moore   110/1    Huge hitter who has 2 good finishes in US Open from 2 starts
Baddeley  125/1  Long hitter with very good short game. Having a good year
Edfors   420/1    3 top tens in europe past 3 weeks and finished top 30 on only US open start.

Pizzas beer and couch for the weekend. Happy days

Westwood would be my pick.

As bogball mentioned he has a very decent record at the open, he pretty much threw one away at winged foot a few years ago with a double bogey at the last. I think the rough is graduated this time so not as penal for slightly wayward drives. He will throw in the odd pull hook but then we'll get a chance to see some of the mickelson magic out of the unknown

[Canalman]

Going Dustin Johnston to win.

Two E5 e/w bets also on Carbrera and Choi.

[Radda bout yeee]

I've went off Casey now
Bubba small e/w
Big Phil slightly larger e/w

[whitegoodman]

I went e/w on

phil
westwood
Dustin Johnston
Cabrera
Bubba

As someone else said big hitters should do well here

Disappointing to say but i fancy all 4 irish men to miss the cut!!!

[RealSpiritof98]

not 1 mention of Irelands greatest ever golfer, made me a fortune a few years back so i have a bit ew @70s for Harri, also Els and Kucher
