Hlog at the U.S..Open - early Thursday morning

OAKMONT, Pa. -- There's a five-way tie for the top at the U.S. Open. Three players are even-par through two holes, the other two are even through one.

None of the five will contend, unless you think this is the year of Craig Kanada.

Zach Johnson tees off 13 minutes from when this is being typed. Can he contend? Absolutely. Will he? What am I, Carnac the Magnificent?

But Furman Bisher of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has picked Johnson to make it two majors in two tries this year. The most popular pick among the media isn't Tiger Woods, amazingly, but Jim Furyk. The media, of course, drinks.

I'll update here in several hours. It's time to go watch Johnson combat Oakmont Country Club.
