Now you have the golf's second major, the U.S Open coming up this week.

Odds of Winning: 8 to 1

 

3) Jim Furyk

Furyk's career is starting look like Tom Kite's or Fred Couple's. Consistently one of the best players on tour, he has been unable to break the one major win mark. He's one of the m...
