As recently as Saturday evening prognosticators were forecasting gloomy conditions for an open inevitably heading into Tuesday of this week. This morning the rains seem like the distant past, and I have a feeling the course will finally play like US Open officials had envisioned and planned for it to play before the rains drenched the course. Remember this is the US Open we are talking about, the toughest course many of these pros will ever play, expect the leaderboard to be as fluid today as the rains that got us to this point.
So who will win? Glover and Barnes won't have a chance with the course playing MUCH tougher today. I think one if not both of these guys will finish out of the top ten as nerves and a tough course get the better of them. You can never count out Tiger, but my money is going to go on the guy that was supposed to challenge Tiger many years ago David Duval. The prodigal son has been found and is back and I think will be holding the US Open trophy at the end of the day. Phil Mickelson? I don't think the love of NY will feel too bad about a fifth second place finish looks possible for Phil.
I will leave you with a link for current radar at Bethpage Black. Overcast but pleasant this morning.
