PINEHURST, N.C. -- Talk about a stark contrast.

After the PGA Championship presented the best golfers in the world with an execution test at Valhalla Country Club that featured a winning score of 21-under (the lowest ever in major championship history), the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 provides something entirely different.

The sand hills of North Carolina will test every aspect of each player's game during what is expected to be a hot and humid week. And though there's a clear favorite, there are also 155 other players in the field wanting to turn the third major of the year into their shining moment.
