| US OPEN PROFILE |
|
| Retief Goosen now comes firmly under the category of event specialist after claiming a second US Open title at Shinnecock Hills 12 months ago. His unflappable approach on the final day saw him hold off a strong Phil Mickelson challenge on a course that brought many of the best players in the world to their knees. Goosen's ball-striking will always give him a chance on a US Open layout and a decent week on the greens may well see him crowned for the third time in five years. |
