2015 US Open Rundown

With the USA Open here, I wanted to go thru a quick rundown of the main metrics on Tour, yr-to-date.

I've seen some pretty horrific pictures of the conditions, but it seems to be more spotty than anything.  I actually think this could be a favorite US Open venue for years to come, but I'm afraid that if you leave the USGA to their own devices, they'll create an embarrassing gaffe as they have had many times before.  I'm certain the golf course is hard enough, it doesn't need to be any more difficult with them calling for downhill, uphill and sidehill tee shots.

Based at the numbers, right here are my pinnacle-10 choices to win:

Rory McIlroy

Jordan Spieth

Rickie Fowler

Hideki Matsuyama

Bubba Watson

Jason Day

Keegan Bradley

Phil Mickelson

Dustin Johnson

JB Holmes
