It's Major week This weekend's U.S. Open will feature plenty of familiar faces with the likes of Dustin Johnson, Tiger Woods and new-father Rory McIlroy all teeing it up in New York. Given the dominance of these players in recent years, it might be foolish to look past them when considering who might be crowned champion,but lets see who else is in with a great chance of winning. Webb Simpson,past Champion is certainly worth a look in our eyes. A couple of wins and regular top-10 finishes in the just-finished season means confidence will be sky-high. Speaking of confidence, Collin Morikawa won the PGA Championship in just his second Major start and looks like he has the game and patience for any challenge set by the USPGA I doubt at Winged foot will you see anyone running after their ball like Phil did although te players got their wish on Hole number three when the tee got moved up to 200 yards from 243.HAving played it I could see why.The green was no wider than Orsetts fourth and no longer than the eighth.Nothing to aim at and impossible to get it on the greendue to surrounding bunkers and raised front . Will fatherhood have Rory firing or tiring? Can DJ get over the line at another Major? Or is it time for somebody else to take centre-stage at Winged Foot GC? Its one of Americas top 15 courses and it will test everyone and its not for the wayward, crooked or short hitters,pnly balls strikers need apply.I cant wait . If the year’s second Major has you itching to play better golf, send us a message below and let us know which part of your game needs the most attention.
