The 2010 US Open @ Pebble Beach

The opening round of the 2010 US Open is upon us. The US Open should be played at Pebble Beach more frequently. Maybe once every eight years? I'd like to see a Pebble, Oakmont, Shinnecock 'mini-rota' every eight years, with the other five years in the rota being populated by lesser courses (Bethpage, anything but Olympic).

As for the tournament, history dictates the winner will be a iconic golfer at the top of his game (Nicklaus, Watson, errrr Kite, Woods).

Long Shot - David Duval. Plays US Opens well.
Dark Horse - Francesco Molinari. Like his plodding/accurate game.
Favorite - Ernie Els. Pebble Beach is a fitting venue for Major #4 for The Big Easy.

What? No Stricker listed as a favorite? What's that about?

Like my Enron, BP, Crox portfolio, I like to diversify.
