1. Hunter Mahan: Mahan has been in the final group in the last two majors before coming up short. He was leading the Canadian Open two weeks ago when he withdrew to be with his wife for the birth of their first child. Good playing plus good karma equals his first major title.
2. Brandt Snedeker: Snedeker is another player who has been in contention in recent majors and is still searching for his first. He’s due.
3. Phil Mickelson: Oak Hill suits Mickelson’s game. A win here would solidify Lefty being the PGA Tour Player of the Year, despite Tiger’s five wins.
