US OPEN PROFILES
|
 |
Tiger Woods1
The winner at Bethpage Black in 2002 looks to be back to his very best again and, as always, is the man to beat.
Phil Mickelson
A four-time runner-up, can the left-hander finally get his hands on the US Open trophy he so craves?
Geoff Ogilvy
The 2006 champion is one of the leading contenders again if his early-season form is anything to go by.
Padraig Harrington
Out of sorts this year but the stern test of a US Open clearly suits the gritty approach of the three-time major champ.
Paul Casey
One of the hottest golfers on the planet will be looking to make the big step up and grab a first major victory.
Jim Furyk
Champion in 2003 at Olympia Fields with the lowest 72-hole score in US Open history, Furyk is one to watch.
Retief Goosen
The South African has proved a master when it comes to conquering the brutally tough examination of a US Open.
Henrik Stenson
Played some brilliant golf to win the Players' Championship and could be the man to end Europe's US Open drought.
Sergio Garcia
Fourth at here in 2002 so likes the course. Is it time for Garcia to make the leap from nearly man to major champ?
Sean O'Hair
The American is fast emerging as one of the best young players around and looks to have the game to do well here.
Kenny Perry
After his heartbreak at Augusta, can the veteran American make amends by making this his first major win?
Steve Stricker
Definite dark-horse material given his strong previous record in his national Open. A winner this year already.
Ernie Els
A double US Open champ but it's 12 years since the last of those two victories. Foolish to write him off though.
Camilo Villegas
One of the US Tour's pin-up boys has improved his US Open finish each year since missing the cut on debut.
Anthony Kim
Two solid efforts so far in his brief US Open career and capable of great things despite modest form in 2009.
Rory McIlroy
Class oozes from the Northern Irish teenager and a big finish here would come as no surprise given his form.
Lee Westwood
Battled hard down the stretch before just missing out at Torrey Pines last year but his recent form is a worry.
Angel Cabrera
A man to be feared now in the majors having won this event in 2007 and this season's Masters.
Ian Poulter
A runner-up in the Open Championship last year, Poulter is becoming a regular on the leaderboard in majors.
Vijay Singh
The Fijian is being written off again after a poor year but he's won three majors and has bounced back before.
