Dustin Johnson travels to Erin Falls, Wisconsin, this week looking to become the first player to successfully defend a U.S. Open title since Curtis Strange did so in 1989, but a strong field means that will be no easy feat.
One can debate whether Johnson is the best player in the world today when playing at his best, but the likes of Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Jon Rahm will all head into this week's competition with silverware in sight.
Old regulars will be vying to rain on the parades of those younger stars, too, as seasoned veterans like Ernie Els and Angel Cabrera return to make a run at a title they've each already won in their careers.
