2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Review:
This week’s PGA TOUR golf tournament is the second Major of the year, the U.S. Open played at historic Pebble Beach Golf Links. The ratings are predicted to be extremely high once again, and all golf fans love to watch the United States Open especially when it’s played at Pebble Beach.

The U.S. Open will headline Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson once again, who are the 2 favorites going into this prestigious golf tournament. Pebble Beach is anticipated to play under 7,100 yards this year and at Par 71, not 72. The conditions at Pebble Beach are always unpredictable, even in mid June, and that is what makes this venue so exciting to watch. If the wind picks up off the ocean, look for even par to be a great score!

U.S. Open Picks:
Pebble Beach Golf Links is one of the best and most recognized golf courses in the world. Many TOUR professionals and amateurs rank it #1 on their list, and that is just one of the reasons why we all can’t wait to watch the U.S. Open!

Tiger Woods dominated Pebble last time the U.S. Open was played there. Phil Mickelson is continuing to play outstanding golf, and looking to win the first 2 Majors of 2010. Lee Westwood has been knocking on the door of every Major the past year and a half, and Pebble Beach suits his game perfectly. Steve Stricker’s consistent play could win him his first Major, and Rory McIlroy will have a great chance at winning this year’s U.S. Open at the age of just 21. These are my 5 top picks to win the 2010 U.S. Open.
