The 2012 U.S. Open tees off on Thursday morning and will have plenty of interesting story lines, but the biggest one will undoubtedly be the pairing of Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson, and Phil Mickelson. The three stars will tee off on the back nine starting at 10:33 a.m. EDT.
Tiger has an uptick in his game over the past few weeks and many expect him to have a strong outing at the U.S. Open. Watson recently won the Masters, but since that win hasn't done a whole lot in tournaments so he's expected to get his game turned around.
