The 209th US Open starts at Bethpage State Park, New York on 18th June. The big story so far is that we’re giving away a GoKart in the next of our now traditional Majors Competitions. Everybody’s talking about it. Honest.
The rules are simple; just pick the winner, and their winning score, before the opening shot is played on the first day. The first correct entry we pull from the hat gets the GoKart. To enter, click the “add a comment” button below and just enter your details and your answer. That’s it. Have a go, it only takes a jiffy and what is there to lose?
To make it even easier, we’ve prepared a list of all this year’s players (excluding the pre-qualifiers), and the winning scores from the last ten opens. Here’s a link to the USGA site for the US open, so you can swot up on all the latest news.
As for our favourite? Well you know we’re a bit like a broken record about Garcia, but we’ve stuck by him for this long, it really is just a matter of time…you’ll see.

End of play now – because play has begun. Does that make sense? Oh you know what we mean…
I hope Im not to late to go for Geoff Olgivy to win- Score of 277
Bill,
We hope you’ve a good excuse for being so late! Everyone else managed to get here on time. We’ll let you in on this occasion; we don’t think you’ve gained an unfair advantage (good luck).
glover 276
I have been Cryogenically Frozen since Last Tuesday and if I had been around I would have gone with Lucas Glover on 276. Do I qualify???
Anybody cryogenically frozen is clinically insane and therefore not to be trusted with a GoKart. So no.
The people who run the company who freeze people may take that as an insult and think it is insulting their work leading to legal action. I won’t tell them if I can get a discount! Please?
absolutely barking.
