Which one of the Big Three will assert himself at Oakmont Country Club this weekend and win the 2016 U.S. Open? 

Will Dustin Johnson overcome years of frustration and finally win his first major championship?

Will it be more heartbreak for Phil Mickelson, or is this the year he breaks through at the year's second major?

Here's our look at how the U.S. Open will play out for the top contenders.

 

Jason Day

The No. 1 golfer in the world has all the shots needed to be at or near the top at Oakmont. Day is the top-ranked golfer in the World Golf Ranking and the FedEx Cup, and the 28-year-old Australian superstar has been playing at a different level since winning the PGA Championship last summer.

Day's power off the tee is impressive, but the reasons he has risen to the No. 1 spot in the world are his iron play and approach shots. He has the ability to dominate in that aspect and consistently put his shots within 10-12 feet of the hole.

Day is the co-favorite in the event, with odds of plus-700 (bet $100 to win $700), according to Odds Shark, and the expectation is he will find a way to be standing on top of the mountain Sunday evening.



 



Jordan Spieth

All eyes are on Spieth, and much of the golf world is wondering how he will respond after blowing up during the final round of the Masters and losing what would have been his second consecutive green jacket.

While Spieth has since won the Dean & DeLuca Invitational at Colonial, the memory of losing a five-stroke lead on the back nine at Augusta will be difficult for him to overcome. The numbers say everything is good with Spieth's game, as he ranks third in the FedEx Cup and second in the World Golf Ranking.

Spieth won the U.S. Open last year at Chambers Bay, and he comes to Oakmont with odds of plus-800, per Odds Shark...
