Golf immortality is what's at stake in the 2015 U.S. Open, as an extremely talented field of American and international players will compete to have their names etched in the history books by winning the year's second major.

There are plenty of storylines surrounding many of the tournament's competitors. Rory McIlroy enters the tournament ranked No. 1 in the world, but Jordan Spieth continues to nip at his heels. Phil Mickelson will attempt to complete the career Grand Slam yet again after previously notching six runner-up finishes in the U.S. Open. Tiger Woods continues his enigmatic play and is coming off a 14-over performance in the Memorial.
