The 2014 U.S. Open Is Here!
The U.S. has started! So pull up a couch or a laptop, and join the Cave Crew in watching what is sure to be a spectacular weekend of golf! Currently, the odds makers have Rory McIlroy winning(really?!), but judging by how this season has gone so far, expect the unexpected! This has been the year of the underdog, so Scratch is betting we’ll all see another greenhorn with the trophy come Sunday. Either way, it’s sure to be a great couple of days at Pinehurst!
