We know the three favorites for the 2016 U.S. Open. They're the three favorites for, typically, any golf tournament on the PGA Tour.
Jason Day, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth are the world's three best golfers. On any given day, any of the three can look like the most transformational figure since Tiger Woods.
Spieth is the event's defending champion, boasting a streak of five straight top-five major championship finishes. Day's been the best golfer in the world for the better part of a year, putting himself well clear of Spieth in the rankings. McIlroy is the uber-talented enigma, equipped with enough power and skill to blow them both out of the water but not nearly enough consistency.
