5. PADRAIG HARRINGTON
World Rank: 11th

Padraig is perfect for the U.S. Open because he's steady and he's slow. He's the one guy who won't be put off by the six-hour rounds. They're right up his alley....Paddy is an analytical guy. He's smart and will try to dissect the course....He's coming off a high—winning the Irish Open was huge for an Irishman, comparable to winning the U.S. Open.

TEED UP
I'm not totally convinced Paddy can win the Open, but he can put himself in position on Sunday and then, who knows?
