My pick to win the 2010 US Open is the Englishman, Lee Westwood. He has finished near the top at two of the last three US Open tournaments and will once again be a late round contender when it is all said and done. However, this is the year that Westwood will take a step in the right direction and win the tournament. He won a tournament last week and could not ...
