Ron Raymond's US Open Golf Picks

Nobody has won back to back US Open Golf Championships since Curtis Strange did in ’88 and 89. Plus, from what I can gather from local players and professional golfers, if you’re a bit wild off the tees, you will be in for a long day, because there’s no forgiveness at Bethpage Black. Here’s what you’re looking for when picking a golfer to win the 2009 US Open Championship.

1. You want somebody who is accurate in driving and hit’s the fairways with consistency.
2. Somebody who can nail putts, because like they say; “You drive for show and putt for dough”.
3. Finding a golfer who has won this year, this mean they know how to deal with pressure on Sunday.

Gold Pick - Zach Johnson +5050: Zach Johnson is my top choice to win the 2009 US Open Golf Championship at Bethpage Black. In my view, the winner of the US Open will need to be able to take out the driver and be ready to “grip it and rip it” and hit the fairways consistently. In fact, Johnson is hitting 69.5% of his drives in the fairways this season and is ranked 15th in accuracy. Plus, he’s won 2 events (Sony Open in Hawaii and Valero Texas Open) this year and has 5 top ten finishes and eight Top 25 finishes. He’s your current FedEx Cup leader and has netted 3.3 million in earnings this year. Plus, being paired with Lee Westwood of England and Shingo Katayama of Japan, sits well with Johnson, as he won’t have the “media pressure” following them, because they will be in Tiger and Phil’s group.

Silver Pick - Geoff Ogilvy +2000: After reviewing the important factors of driving and putting, Geoff Ogilvy has been solid in these departments, but even stronger with the putter. Ogilvy is currently ranked 7th with the putter and that is huge for winning the US Open. Ogilvy has 2 wins this year (World Golf Championship Accenture Match Play Championship); he’s got 4 Top 10 finishes and 7 Top 25 finishes. Plus, he’s 2nd in the Fed Ex cup and did well at last years Championship by placing 9th. This might be his year, as long as his putter is burning hot!

Bronze Pick - Ian Poulter +5000: I’ve been a huge Ian Poulter fan this year and if there’s one thing about betting on Ian, when he’s hot, he will give you a chance on Sundays. If you recall, Ian finished 2nd this year at the Players Championship and he’s earned 4 Top 10 finishes and 7 Top 25 finishes. Poulter is my longshot to win the 2009 US Open Championship and he’s 12th in putting on tour and because this is a challenging course, ending up in the sand traps might be key to some golfers scores and Poulter is ranked 5th in sand trap plays. Take a flyer and play Poulter at these great odds.
