US OPEN PROFILES
|
 |

Phil Mickelson
Four-times a US Open runner-up, Mickelson has a good record on the Pebble Beach layout.
Lee Westwood
Europe's nearly man will finally hope to land a major at Pebble Beach.
Ernie Els
The two-time champion will need to improve his recent putting if he is to make it a hat-trick here.
Padraig Harrington
Looking to recapture the form of 2007 and 2008 which brought him three majors in six starts.
Rory McIlroy
Appears to be returning to top form and has the game to shine at Pebble Beach.
Jim Furyk
Twice a winner this season, the 2003 champion holds the lowest 72-hole score in US Open history.
Steve Stricker
His style of game suits the US Open but the American has a reputation for getting twitchy.

Has enjoyed a good run of form in 2010 but hand and foot injuries are a major concern coming into this event.
Dustin Johnson
The biggest hitter on the PGA Tour, Johnson has won on this course in each of the last two years.
Paul Casey
A good driver of the ball, Casey may come unstuck in the thick US Open grass.
Hunter Mahan

Geoff Ogilvy
Winner in 2006, the enigmatic Ogilvy has a poor record in majors since then.

Adam Scott
A talented player but the Aussie has a terrible record at the US Open.
Zach Johnson
A seven-time winner on the PGA Tour, including at Augusta, but has struggled in US Opens past.
Lucas Glover
The reigning champion but only two players have successfully defended this title since the War.
Luke Donald
A patient player, Donald won the recent Madrid Masters so is in decent form.

Camilo Villegas
Started the year well but form has tailed off and the Colombian is yet to challenge at a major.
