The Power Fade Golf Blog

It’s odd writing this post in September, but, then again, nothing about 2020 has been normal. I like to think about Father’s Day when the US Open is on, and, sadly, this will not be one to commemorate that moment. Nonetheless, I’m glad we’re having golf at all. Here’s our (well, my, because LG is lazy) picks for the upcoming US Open tomorrow.

JK
Winner: Webb Simpson
Winning Score: +6
Runner Up: Viktor Hovalnd
“Unknown” in the Top 10: Joel Dahmen
Last Year’s Winner (Woodland) Will … (Win, Top10, Make the Cut, or Miss the Cut): Miss Cut
The Master’s Winner (TIGER!) Will: Make cut
The PGA Winner (Morikawa) Will: Make cut
The Open Champion (No one) Will: screw the British
OWGR #1 Dustin Johnson will: Top 10
OWGR #2 Jon Rahm will: Top 10
OWGR #3 Justin Thomas will: make cut
Bryson Deschambeau will: grunt really loud and take way too long…hopefully missing the cut in the process
Phil Mickelson (2006 Winged Foot heartbreak): come close…top 5
How many prior major winners will be in the Top 10: a lot
Will someone win it, or will everyone else lose it? it will be a struggle to hold on. This is one of the most difficult US Open venues set up to be even more difficult. Expect high numbers for days
