Bear's U.S. Open Prediction

Johnny Miller wins every U.S Open he announces, maybe more so than he did in 1973. The entire world get to hear him talk, and criticize, and complain, and talk some more for 4 days. But who will shot the lowest score this week? Well, Hogie, I can tell you it is not going to be Lee Westwood. His putting is fine, but the rest of his short game is woefully inferior to his competitions. Like you said, U.S. Opens are about scrambling around the greens, something he simply can't do consistently under pressure. Phil is going to make a charge Saturday, but he'll utlimately fall short in the end. Hunter Mahan is very streaky , but if he shows up this week, watch out! Tom Watson, really Hogie? I love the guy, but come on! His putting would never stand up under the pressure. So... who do I think will take home the Championship Cup? Mr. Eldrick Woods, for several reasons. The course is playing fast and firm. Players aren't hitting too many drivers out there, in fact they are teeing off with mid and long irons. The rough is minimal, by U.S. Open standards, and it is going to come down to making putts under pressure. Putting is courage. Putting is will. Putting is art. Maybe no one else in the field has something greater to prove to the world, than Tiger. That is why, behind announcer Johnny Miller, I predict Tiger to win his 4th career United States Open.
