Hardenberger if the favorites
Rory McIlroy, Northern Ireland
The world number one has certainly had a wobbly shape during the spring, but once he met the right he has been in a class by itself. Has won the race before.
–
Henrik Stenson, Sweden
Has fallen down a few notches in the world rankings when his score from the hit 2013 season started to fall away. Showed good form during spring and seem to come to the games in physical form.
–
Phil Mickelson, United States
An experienced fox who always delivers majors. Moreover, a soaring shape curve. US Open is the only majorn “lefty” missing.
–
Jordan Spieth, the US
had a breakthrough with the victory in the US Masters and became when the American golf’s face. Can the term very well challenge Rory on the throne.
–
Justin Rose, England
One of the most consistent players on the tour. Intermediate and during spring shown fine form. Has a US Open title under his belt already.
–
Rickie Fowler, United States
A future names that finished top 5 in all the majors last year. Won his first major victory in The Players earlier this year. A large crowd favorite.

Today begins the US Open.
According to a play study American Golf Digest done is Henrik Stenson one of the favorites.
– I’ll try to use my experience, he says.
Since 2000, the US Open only four times won by an American.
When the 115th edition will be held today on the contest heavily criticized Chambers Bay just south of Seattle hopes Henry Stenson be one of one of those looks that figure stays at four additional year.
– I feel that I get closer and closer. I’ve had some catching up in the PGA Championship, British Open and last year I came fourth in this competition. Did not Martin (Kaymer) had such a good week so I think it could be an exciting weekend. But he offered a great show and left everyone else in the dust, says
– But it was even for second place.
“Have a good chance”
What speaks then to Henrik Stenson will eventually take it home where major victory golf Sweden as long yearned for?
– For me it’s just about giving myself so many chances I can the next three to four years, or whatever it is I have left on my highest level. Can I come in well prepared and give myself a chance on a few occasions, I think I have pretty good prospects to bring me home a trophy home at least once.
– When friends win major competitions and playing practice rounds with them and beat them and then, when you know that you can also win. If they can win can of course also do it then.
Stenson and his caddy Gareth Lord visited Chambers Bay in April to get an impression of the much-discussed path. Architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. has received a lot of criticism from both players and experts believe that it is mad, for the undulating and difficult.
Europeans accustomed to the game
– I think it can give Europeans an advantage. Most of us have played a lot of links golf over the years and it will prove to be an advantage for a week as this I think. It is different from a normal week. You have to be more creative around the greens, says Stenson.
– So there is more that one must be able to visualize a stroke rather than being able to turn a standard type in their målbox.
The routine can be crucial
Stenson is one of the favorites and when the US Golf Digest magazine, based on user interviews, took out the favorites for the title landed the votes of Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson – an experienced trio.
– It is clear that older players have an advantage in terms of experience Man makes mistakes and learned from them. For example, it has been playing in competitions like this where you know that pair on each hole is good. Not to be greedy and chasing birdies can help you to avoid high numbers when you miss.
– So it’s something I will try to use to my advantage now. I will try to take wise decisions there. It is a strength, and I think it has to do with age and experience.
