U.S. Open starts Thursday

The second Major of the year is being held this week. The U.S. Open starts Thursday at Pebble Beach. Naturally, Tiger Woods is a main character in many of the story lines as he is any time he plays, but even more so since the revelations about his extra marital affairs.
Watch for these story lines: Can Tiger repeat here at Pebble, the site of his amazing 15 shot victory a decade ago at the same venue? Can Tiger win his 15th Major Championship, drawing him 1 closer to Jack Nicklaus’ all time record of 18? Can Tiger shake whatever demons haunt him due to his car accident, revelations of marital infidelity, and hiatus from golf? Can Phil Mickelson win his second major of the year, keeping alive the only chance for a player to win a grand slam this year? Which unexpected player will contend this year, perhaps rising from relative obscurity to prominence, at least among golf fans? How many dads will spend Father’s Day watching the Open?
