US Open Championships 2011
Tiger Woods won't be playing in the U.S Open this year due to lingering left leg injuries. I'm not a Woods fan, but I don't want to see him struggling with his health. At 35 he should be right in the prime of his golfing career, and it's a shame he can't compete right now.
Had Woods played, I don't think he would have contended anyways. His game is a mess with only the occasional flash of his former self. He needs to get his health 100% before returning. So let's move on from Woods to the top U.S Open contenders that are competing and looking to add the coveted major title to their resume. This year's tournament is being held at the 7500+ yards Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland.
1) Luke Donald
Donald is the world's number one player, and no one has played better in 2011. How about 8 straight top 10 finishes on the PGA tour including a win at Accenture Match Play Championship? He also won the European Tour's BMW PGA Championship in May. Donald does not having a stellar record at the U.S Open.
He is without a top 10 career finish, but he's playing too well not to be considered this year's favorite. He is an accurate driver of the ball and that always helps at a U.S Open.

2) Phil Mickelson
I read somewhere recently that if Tiger Wood's career was in freefall, Mickelson's was headed in the same direction just at a slower pace. Whoah take it easy, last I looked Mickelson is ranked #5 in the world, won earlier this year Houston and has 4 top 10 finishes.
Mickelson has 9 top 10 finishes at the U.S Open. If Mickelson can have just a decent driving week, he'll contend.

3) Lee Westwood
Lee Westwood has been a fixture in the World top 5 for months and has spent some time in the number one position. Westwood has played most of the year on the European and other World Tours this season with 2 wins. The last time Westwood finished outside the top 25 of a major he played in was at the Masters in 2009. He's contended at the U.S Open before and looks to be one of the favorites this week.

4) Rory Mcilory
The 22 year old Irish phenom was headed to towards his first major win in April at the Masters. He had a 4 stroke lead heading into round 4, but shot a painful to watch 80 and fell out of contention. There's no question Mcilory has the game and talent to win multiple majors including this one. The question is how much scarring will the Masters do to him?

5) Steve Stricker
You could argue that Steve Stricker has been the most consistent American golfer over the last 2 years. Since 2009 Stricker has 6 wins and 24 top 10 finishes. All that is lacking for the 44 year old is a major title. He has 4 straight top 30 finishes at the U.S Open. He doesn't hit is far, but Stricker does everything else well. He's coming off a recent win at the Memorial.

6) K.J. Choi
Who doesn't like someone nicknamed the Tank? Choi doesn't have a good record at the U.S Open, but he does have a win at the AT&T National in 2007. That's the PGA tour event held at Congressional, so he should feel good on this course. He won the biggest title of his career at the Player's Championship in May. He's a little like Mickelson in that his driving will be the key to whether he contends or not.

7) Martin Kaymer
You can't overlook the World's number 3 ranked player Germany's Martin Kaymer. Kaymer already has a major, the 2010 PGA, and he finished T8 at last year's U.S Open. Kaymer is not the most accurate player off the tee, but his most recent U.S Open proves he can play those U.S Open style courses.
All About Sports odds of Winning: 30 to 1
8) Matt Kuchar
Matt Kuchar has 8 top 10 finishes this year, and has moved into the World's top 10. Kuchar is finally fulfilling on the promise he showed as a collegiate golfer at Georgia Tech in the late 90s. He was T6 at the U.S Open in 2010. Kuchar is also 16th on tour in driving accuracy. That's an important stat for a U.S Open.
All About Sports odds of Winning: 33 to 1
9) Dustin Johnson
I look at Dustin Johnson the same way I look at Rory Mcilory. Those are two young players with loads and loads of raw talent, but have the scar tissue of throwing away majors in the 4th round. Johnson was cruising at the U.S Open at Pebble Beach last year and entered round 4 with a 3 stroke lead only to shoot an 82 and finish T8. He hits it a mile and if he drives it straight, he’ll have a huge advantage over a large portion of the field.

10) Ernie Els
Apparently picking a South African to win a major in recent years is a pretty good bet. I'm going with South African Ernie Els as a darkhorse candidate here. The 2-time U.S Open Champion will be the only player in the field with a U.S Open win (1997) at Congressional and just last year finished 3rd in the U.S Open. Outside of Woods, Els has been the best U.S Open golfer the past 2 decades.
