ERIN, Wis. -- At most major championships, there are always a few surprises -- players who no one expected to make a run at a major title. Sometimes, they even raise the trophy after 72 holes, ala Shaun Micheel at the 2003 PGA Championship.
This year's U.S. Open, though, is taking that to another level. Through 36 holes, not a single player inside the top 18 has won a major. That's not to say big names and quality players aren't in the mix here in Wisconsin.
American Rickie Fowler (T-5) owns four PGA Tour wins including a dominating victory at the Players Championship in 2015.
