Scott And Mickelson To Play With Woods In US Open
Thursday 05 June 2008 at 09:31
Phil Mickelson and Adam Scott will be teeing off alongside Tiger Woods when the US Open gets underway at Torrey Pines on June 12th.
The players, who are 8/1 and 33/1 to win the tournament respectively with Stan James, may not come off second best against the overwhelming favourite (9/4, Coral) either.
Woods is still struggling to recover from his recent knee injury, according to the latest reports, and may still not be 100 per cent fit when he lines up for the Major next Thursday.
Scott is in good form after winning the EDS Byron Nelson Championship at the end of April where he defeated Ryan Moore in a playoff.
Meanwhile Mickelson has had a more recent victory, finishing ahead of Tim Clarke to triumph at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial tournament a fortnight ago.
It would take a brave man to bet again Woods, however, as the world number one goes on the hunt for his third US Open title.
Woods reportedly played a warm-up round at Torrey Pines yesterday, the first time he has teed off since he suffered his injury in April.
