U.S. Open offers few surprises

Tiger Woods is the odds on favorite to win the U.S. Open this year. Not only is it a best golfers in the world, if not better, but also because the course is designed to swing. He has won several times at Torrey Pines Municipal, home tournament this year, and costumes, of course, his game perfectly, even with the changes we have made over. But do not be surprised if someone other than Tiger winning the U.S. Open this year.

Mike Davis, USGA senior director of rules and competition, provides a new philosophy of the Open. Have made changes to Torrey Pines that promise to make the tournament more exciting for everyone, from those who have just one interest in the game for those with handicaps golf clubs in countries with weak local. It is therefore possible for us to win. Even if Tiger win the Open is sure to provide great entertainment and a golf lesson or two for those who look.

the Chances are good Tigre

Experts suggest three reasons why Tiger wins Open this year. First (and more), has a long history to win again. Torrey Pines hosts the Buick Invitational each January and the tiger is a Buick spokesman. Needless to say, he feels comfortable playing the course. In fact, one could say that is more than comfortable. He has won six times in the Invitational last 10 years (including the last four). Besides, he had the group Multi-age victories at Torrey Pines in the Junior World Championship.

Secondly, the tiger is his first golf course. At age 32, playing the best golf and more consistent in his life, his knee surgery does not resist. Third, the course will have more streets and shorter than any U. Gross: Open the two Tiger promote the game. Really can open in the course without fear of prosecution for lack too. However, it is always the U.S. Open. And no one has ever been a lock for win this tournament, even Ben Hogan, who won four times in six attempts from 1948 to 1953.

Changes in Torrey Pines
philosophy Davis "as much as the course in question is very different from its predecessors. Its purpose is not to provide great holidays for the match with an advantage, but to test all facets of the game to a player. And the changes are only. Create situations and options that allow golfers to play to their strengths when they can, but also the power exercise their imagination when they can, which is good for Tiger. But like many other players.

Open Torrey Pines is not the same as the Buick Invitational. While that the streets are mostly the same width as when they played in January, ranging from 29 meters to 34 meters wide, rough is not as deep. Gardeners cutting tones. In addition, departures were delayed, so the city of San Diego history longest street over 300 yards.

And then there's got rough. The streets are Rough uniformly framed by short time, but by bands of penthouse level of the grass. The first cut is limited to two and three-quarter inches deep, and from then no more than three inches. The gross primary win some spin and distance control of players, so it will be difficult. But the players can still make some shots from the gross primary school. Not nearly as difficult if, as the second and third cut of rough diamonds.

In addition, the grass around the greens be cut by concentric stages. Areas of focus in front of the green grass is Bermuda, a rapid repair of the texture of grass, rather than Kikuyu. Grama not rotate as much as other types of grass control, inhibition. These areas are aerated and dressed up to be as strong as possible. Davis wants players can be recovered in green plans, if they choose.

The greens are anna Poe, a thriving bluegrass in cool and moist, as those in northern California. They cut well. This will allow the subtleties and breaks hard to be perceptible, but not deleted. You can not cut the green grass too tight. Otherwise, it will dead on Sunday, last day of the tournament. Davis Greens for not measuring about 13 on the Stimpmeter. Is tight. Last year at Oakmont, the Green is 15.

green individual could provide the theater and golf lessons for viewers are the third, seventh and fourteenth. There is nothing behind the third and fourteenth ravines but in the background. Players will no longer pieces in the holes on the back. They will try heroic shots behind or under bushes or take penalty strokes. The seventh was a nice corner pocket to the left of the green. These holes will be added to the pressure of the tournament.

All major attempt to define differently of the other greats of the tour. And this year, the U.S. Open is no exception. Consequently, this year's tournament will be interesting times and a golf tip or two those who pay attention during the tournament. Do not overlook this weekend to see how you can repealed strokes of your golf handicap. And do not be surprised if Tiger does not win.
