If I was betting Fuyrk/McDowell versus the field I would absolutely take the field. 2 strokes is not a lead you can expect to protect on Sunday at any major, let alone the US Open.I don't mean to rain on the GMac Furyk parade, but there's no guarantee the winner comes from one of those two.
Watch out for Dufner, Tiger, Westy, or any of the other +2 to +4 guys. I just don't think it's easy to say what'll happen with this course.
