US Open Golf 2017 Live Telecast

1. The U.S. Open is golf’s second major of the year. All eyes will be on Erin, Wisconsin, this week, where reigning champion Dustin Johnson opened as the favorite at 13/2. Before you bet the U.S. Open or enter a big-time fantasy golf tournament, you’ll want to listen to what the guys from SportsLine have to say. SportsLine’s prediction model nailed the Masters. Heading into the weekend, it called Sergio Garcia’s epic playoff victory to capture his first major win after 74 starts in such events.

If play is delayed on Thursday morning, it could allow for Phil Mickelson to make his afternoon tee time after attending his daughter’s high school graduation. But the weather’s impact extends far beyond Mickelson’s race to the first tee with Erin Hills making its U.S. Open debut as the longest track in tournament history. Golfers won’t have to just navigate the tough rough and fire in long-range approach shots, but they’ll likely have to do it in soggy conditions.
