Hi Ewen, good article. I think Woods is at a major (no pun) crossroads in his career. I'm sure he will be back later in the year, but may assess his options in the game at the end of the season. Don't think he would want to continue if he cant fire on all cylinders. My picks for the US Open are Goosen, Westwood and Mickleson. Outside chance for McIlroy and Garcia if they don't go daft at the weekend.

As much as I love the Open Championship, I have to say that the US Open has the best TV viewing. A major without Woods is disappointing but many of the world's best are ready to shine. I think Westwood will feature heavily this week and also think the Goose could play a part after his 3rd place last week. Pick of the Americans is difficult but I go for Mickleson (form is temporary but class is permanent)!

Hi Ewan, My concern with backing guys like Westwood and Donald to win the US Open is that they are both experienced pros at this stage and they have yet to show that they have the intestinal fortitude to finish out a major. Don't get me wrong it would be great if a Euro player could do it again this year but I just think that Westwood has shown on more than one occassion that he gets nervy and his putting isnt good enough when it matters. Maybe some of the new Euro players are more likely to do it this year. My outside bet is Brandt Snedeker! Brian, Dublin

Typo on "Congressional has been extended to 6,500 yards" make that 7,500 yards ! 1-2-3 Mahan,Donald,McIlroy. Look foward to Thursday and a great week-end.
