    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.

                First... you're amazing, Between the Masters and the US Open.. you've worked 70 hour weeks... read thousands of pages of legal documents. Gone to court? And you remember a little bit on info like the winner gets to pick the format... I wish I was young again and could remember what I had for lunch yesterday.

                If you want to pick a format for the British Open... go ahead... you take the lead on the next one.

                ---------------------------------------------------------------

                If you look at the list of qualifiers... there's only about 25 people who have a fighting chance to win... kind of interesting.

                      I didn't put Phil in my picks but I really hope he gets his US Open win.

                        Roberto Castro qualified as a top 60 OWGR player? I thought I saw he had been relegated to the Web.com tour.

                            As of this writing... Rory forgot which end of the club he should be using.

                            The course is brutal.

                              Going to be a tough week. By the looks right now maybe a + par winning score.
