7 dark-horse contenders for the 2017 U.S. Open

The U.S. Open begins tomorrow at Erin Hills in Wisconsin (and at 11 a.m. ET on FS1), and while most golf fans will be locked in on some big names – Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day – we wanted to give you a few other golfers to keep an eye on this weekend. Some are sleeper contenders, some are stars on the rise, some are guys I just like this weekend for whatever reason.

Here are 7 golfers we’ll be keeping a close eye on at Erin Hills.
