Official: 2023 US Open Challenge

[TEA Time]

Pick 4 golfers who you believe have the best chance to win The US Open.

Scoring is as follows:

If you are the only one to correctly pick the winner, you automatically win.
If there are two or more people who picked the winner, only they will be eligible for the "playoff."
If nobody picks the winner, everyone who made picks is eligible for the "playoff."

Playoff details:
Golfers earn points equivalent to their finish. For example, if Spieth finishes T24th, he earns 24 points.
Golfers that miss the cut earn last place (to make the cut) points +1 point.
I will add up all of the points earned by all of your picks.

LOWEST POINT TOTAL WINS THE CHALLENGE.

In the event of a tie: Whoever picked the highest-placed golfer will win. If the winners pick the exact same people, whoever picked the winning combo first (I can see revision history) wins.

You may make only one set of picks but you may edit them until the Wednesday night before the tournament starts. I close the thread to picks on Thursday morning.

Good luck!

REMINDER: I will not be able to finalize this challenge until after the 19th because I will be in Hawaii and not giving a shit about anything other than Spam and pineapples.

If you guys want to run it yourselves, please do so... I mean, it's not that hard.

WTF?

Why the f#@& are they talking about rolling the golf ball back when they have holes like this?

Hey limp, what are you hitting on the 7th?

Hey limp, what are you hitting on the 7th?

284 yards? Driver, 3 wood, wedge, and hope I don't 3 putt for a triple!! :>)

No matter what, this old geezer ain't hittin' it off the tee. Would hope for chipping my second shot from the fairway close enough to make a par putt.

Let’s roll the ball back some more, we don’t want anyone making a GIR.

I hope someone aces both them this week. The USGA’s quest for nobody breaking par in the US Open has gotten out of hand.

I enjoy the one tourney where professional golfers struggle. It's work for them. It gets in their heads. No "bomb and gouge". It's like my 77 year old game playing the tips.

So who are you guys picking?

Hatton

I'd love Rory to win it but I think he is broken right now and not in a "happy place".
