U.S. Open POTW: Tiger Woods vs. Matt Kuchar

Welcome to our Picks of the Week game! Rules are simple: Each week Bernardo and I will select one golfer entered in the current tournament. Whichever golfer finishes highest earns one of us a point. Exceptions: 3 points if our golfer wins the whole thing, Major Championships are doubled (so that's a possibility of 6 points), and tied finishes result in 0 points. Oh, and once we use a golfer, we can't use him for the rest of year. We're doing this until the TOUR Championship. Bernardo has won this 2 times in a row, so let's see if he can go for the three peat! 


 VS




JJ: As we head into the 2nd major of the year, the stakes continue to get higher as everyone is desperate to be in the golf history books. In my opinion, no one is more hungry to win a major than Tiger Woods right now, which is why I'm picking him to win this week at Merion Golf Club. I know he didn't play that well at The Memorial, but I know he'll be fully prepared for this week. There have been many comparisons to TPC Sawgrass and Merion, and we know how well he did at THE PLAYERS, so it should make for an interesting tournament for him. Let's go Tiger!

Bernardo: The U.S. Open is upon us and the excitement that comes with a major championship should make this a great week. Lets just hope the weather agrees as well. This week I’m going with the one and only, Matt Kuchar. Already a champion in 2013, Kuchar is looking for his first major win. He’s pretty won the top non-major events, now only needing a major to be placed amongst the best. Best of luck Kooch!



JJ's used: Brandt Snedeker, Jason Dufner, Padraig Harrington, Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy, Billy Horschel, Retief Goosen, Jason Day, Charles Howell III, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose, David Toms, Keegan Bradley
