It is US Open week!
The main storylines this week will once again surround Phil Mickelson and his quest to win a US Open and now complete the career grand slam. He's finished 2nd at the Open 6 times in his career, the first of which was at Pinehurst when he lost to Payne Stewart. Phil's yet to post a top 10 in 2014, but he's coming off his strongest finish of the season with a T11 at the St. Jude.
As for the field, Rory is listed as the "favorite" but I think the event is wide open. Some quick odds I saw:
Rory McIlroy- 10/1
Adam Scott- 12/1
Phil Mickelson- 14/1
Bubba Watson- 18/1
Henrik Stenson-25/1
Jordan Spieth- 25/1
Justin Rose- 25/1
Matt Kuchar- 25/1
