2011 US Open Begins In May

Golf fans around the world rejoice; The US Open is almost here. The US Open, one of golf’s major tournaments, begins on June 16th. If this US Open is anything like the last one, in which Graeme McDowell beat out the competition to beat fan favorites Ernie Els, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, making him the first Irishman to accomplish that feat in the tournament’s history, it will be an thrilling one.

Since last year’s US Open took place at one of the most famous golf courses in the world, Pebble Beach, this year’s course at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland has a lot to live up to. The previous time the US Open was at Congressional Country Club, Ernie Els won his second championship.

Every year the US Open provides a lot of thrilling golf as players from around the world fight to become one of golf’s elite. The US Open comes with a purse of seven and a half million dollars and a boost to the ego that is worth far greater. The last US Open champion went on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and as well as the hit television show Entourage.

Current frontrunners for the competition are Ernie Els, due to how he played in the previous US Open, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Wood. Tiger had a recent setback with an injury at The Player’s Championship, and many wonder if he can perform as well as he did at The Masters to prove competitive. Yet, superstars frequently many times their talents during major championships when the world is watching, so none of the critics and fellow golfers are counting Tiger out.

Yet, hot on his heels is always Phil Mickelson, known commonly as “Leftie” due to the fact that he’s one of the only golfers on the tour that plays left handed. Although Phil has won three Master’s tournaments and one PGA Championship, he has yet to win a US Open. Many critics are predicting that this might be the year that the “leftie” is victorious.

Whoever the winner, golf fans around the world are looking froward to a close, heavily contested match with a lot of drama and suspense. Last year’s stellar tournament set a precedent for this year’s, and whichever golf star is your favorite, all golf fans could probably agree that they’re looking forward to a match that is equally as competitive this year.
