2018 US Open
We're another year older... and it's time to pick your players for the US Open.
This Championship we're going to mix it up a little. We're going to pick 5 players, and count the total combined prize $$$ won of your best four players (instead of strokes.) If you pick the winner it will be a big bonus... but if you pick a couple of guys in the top ten you could have an outside chance.
I was listening to the radio yesterday and they said that a computer simulation was run 10,000 and Tiger had won the most of any player in the simulations. I'm not ready to go there, but I'm wondering how many of us will pick DJ this weekend.
List of players.
