BOB HARIG'S 5 THINGS TO BANK ON

1. Tiger Woods will be the biggest story of the U.S. Open, regardless of how he fares. The 10-time major winner has not played since the Masters, a span of nine weeks, during which time his father, Earl, passed away. Predictions on his form are all over the map, making his return all the more interesting.

2. A close second to the Woods story will be Winged Foot. The course that last hosted the Open in 1984 is said to be a bear by those who have visited.

3. Another big topic of discussion will be the rough. Not just the deep rough, but the graduated rough. For the first time, the USGA will have graduated rough, meaning the farther you hit the ball off the fairway, the worse it gets.

4. It is hard to imagine a defending champion more under the radar than Michael Campbell. The reason is likely due to his limited appearances on the PGA Tour.

5. Davis Love will garner attention, both good and bad. He won the last major played at Winged Foot, a stirring five-shot victory over Justin Leonard at the 1997 PGA Championship. But that happens to be his only major victory. In the nine years that followed, Love figured to have at least another one by now.
