In a season that has seen both men on outstanding form, it is Westwood who steps onto the course as favourite. The World No. 2 has been on scintillating form recently, finishing runner-up at Wentworth and picking up a European Tour victory May 1st at the Ballantines Championship. This followed a birthday victory at the Indonesian Masters on April 24th, where the Brit won by three strokes.<\/p>\n
The 38 year-old is fast becoming this generation\u2019s nearly-man, with three 3rds and two 2nds in his last 11 Majors. One of his 3rd-places came in 2008 at the US Open, while he also tied-fifth in 2000.<\/p>\n
Donald<\/strong> is in an equally promising position having moved into the World No. 1 slot after his PGA Tour victory at Wentworth.<\/p>\n The technically-gifted Brit showed exceptional putter and chipping play en route to his victory; although some critics suggest the 7,574 yard Blue Course could prove too-long for his talents to show through.<\/p>\n Phil Mickelson<\/strong> 17.080*starts the tournament on his 41st birthday as third-seed \u2013 with the US Open being his ideal present. With three Masters and a US PGA victory under his belt is no stranger to Major victories \u2013 although thus far the US Open has eluded him. A record five second-places in the competition means that the former Masters champion has a burning desire to win \u2013 even if his trophy cabinet for the past year only displays the Shell Houston Open<\/p>\n Rory McIlroy<\/strong> 22.480* is fourth favourite, with Pinnacle Sports thinking that the 22 year-old has a good chance of repeating his Masters performance \u2013 bar the final day collapse.<\/p>\n Fellow Northern Irelander and last year\u2019s US Open champ\u00a0Graeme McDowell<\/strong> 53.000* is ranked 13th, the odds noting his form downturn after last year\u2019s success. The defending champion hasn\u2019t won a PGA or Euro Tour since, has only made three top-10 stroke-play finishes and missed the Masters cut.<\/p>\n A victory for\u00a0Martin Kaymer<\/strong> 27.870* would see him move back top World No. 1, while current Masters-holder\u00a0Charl Schwartzel<\/strong> 70.720* will hope for his first victory since the Major.<\/p>\n *All odds subject to change<\/p>\n Best PGA Tour Golf Betting at Pinnacle Sports<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Cappers Picks Golf handicappers<\/a> have all your latest golf news and information so be sure to make us your trusted source for up-to-the-minute golf details.
