It's Major week in The US and Moortown 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. Winged Foot is renowned as one of the toughest venues to hold the US Open. In 1974 having finished tied 10th at 14 over par Jack Nicklaus gave one of my favourite quotes - when asked to describe the course setup he said, “The last 18 holes are very difficult!” My tip this week is Daniel Berger, so sorry if you’ve popped your money on him! Webb Simpson is certainly worth a look in my 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’s just warming up. 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? We can't wait to find out!

It’s also major time at Moortown on Saturday with every space taken for the Hutchinson Salver. It was Terry Kirwin who ran away with the trophy last year winning by four shots -I wonder who will be putting their name on the board this year? |
