US Open Field 2014: Best Picks to Conquer Pinehurst Course

When the 2014 U.S. Open kicks off on Thursday at Pinehurst, it will have a distinctly different feel from what we expected when the year started. Transition has been the name of the game on the PGA Tour this season, though some familiar faces are still making waves. 

For instance, even though 20-year-old Jordan Spieth was the talk of the Masters in April, it was 35-year-old veteran Bubba Watson who walked away with the green jacket. 

Golf's second major of the year isn't likely to play out the same way as the Masters, simply because the U.S. Open is designed to humble and, at times, humiliate the best players in the world. The last time this event was played at Pinehurst was in 2005, and Michael Campbell won at even par. 

Rory McIlroy's win in 2011 was the last time a player earned the U.S. Open trophy with a score under par. 

Combine the usual Open difficulty with Pinehurst's multimillion dollar renovation designed to enhance the strategy and accuracy required to win, and you suddenly have a wide-open event that's difficult to forecast. 

We will do our best to figure out which players have the best game to succeed at Pinehurst in this year's U.S. Open.
