This June the U.S. Open returns to Merion Golf Club in Haverford Pa. This historic return of the biggest golf event of the year has the Philadelphia area a buzz with anticipation. Many of my students come into Par Breakers and a main topic is this years Open Championship. Even though the layout is short (under 7000 yards) by U.S. Open standards Merion will prove a hard test to the players of today as it's did to past champions. With high rough and blind shots into tucked pins and around dog legs the last five holes will be a stern test. We will see lots of irons off the tee and players will have to carve their shots carefully. Favorites will be Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson and Keegan Bradley. All of these players have the game to shape their shots into and around corners. Tiger's game is spot on going into this event and now that things are falling in place so will the putts on the fast small greens of this iconic site. Many past champions of old claimed their place in golfing history at Merion. Bobby Jones won the Grand Slam here and Ben Hogan made his remarkable comeback form being close to the grave in a car crash. Lee Trevino carved his spot in a playoff to Jack Nicklaus in 1971. Who do you think will make their mark in the golfing history books this year? Leave you comment below and let us know your pick.
Mine is Tiger! From Par Breakers Golf Academy, I'll see you at the U.S.Open at Merion 2013!

I wish I could have made it out to this! At the time, I was playing golf in Vegas. I watched it afterwards. One might say this is just hindsight, but I had my money on Justin Rose from the get-go.
