U.S. Open Golf (2018)
The U.S. Open returns to Shinnecock Hills in the Hamptons this week. Brooks Koepka was last year's winner at Erin Hills, but has been battling back from injury for much of this PGA Tour season. Dustin Johnson was the 2016 winner, at Oakmont, and just reclaimed the #1 spot in the OWGR with a runaway win this past weekend in Memphis (including holing-out a wedge on the final hole). Jordan Spieth lurks as the 2015 winner, at Chambers Bay, and always seems to have a flair for the big moment.
Past winners at Shinnecock including Retief Goosen (2004), Corey Pavin (1995), and Raymond Floyd (1986). That history, to me, suggests a premium on ball-striking rather than overall bombing it off the tee.
Who do you like? (And are we doing the same contest as was done for this year's Masters?)
