I predicted a major for Matt Kuchar this year and I'm sticking with it. But it won't happen this week. While I like Kuchar to contend at Olympic, I think he's got a better chance to win the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island in August.
I also like Zach Johnson, Jason Dufner, Luke Donald, Lee Westwood and Justin Rose.
But if I had to pick one guy to win, I'd go with -- surprise! -- Tiger Woods. I know he flamed out at the Masters after winning at Bay Hill, but something seemed different in Tiger's Memorial victory. Not only was the old magic back, but Tiger showed exquisite control of his ball from tee to green. That's the key to winning any Open, and especially one at tight, twisting Olympic. It's reminiscent of Southern Hills, where Woods walked away with the 2007 PGA.
BTW -- I reserve the right to alter my picks until 7:15 a.m. PDT on Thursday, when the first ball is struck.
