Fantasy Golf: Buy, Sell, or Hold for the U.S. Open at Congressional

Our national championship will be contested in our nation's capital, that's the way it should be.

It's a perfect setting and a strong field, so it should come down to the wire on Sunday.

Congressional Country Club has hosted two U.S. Opens previously.  In 1976, Dave Stockton took home the title, and in 1997, Ernie Els bested the field shooting 4-under to win the major title.

Tiger Woods is missing from the field, but a bunch of great players are all lined up ready for a chance to win at Congressional.

Here is the buy, sell, or hold.

Buy:

Phil Mickelson (A) - Hasn't missed a cut in 2011.  You have to take Phil at a major.

Dustin Johnson (A) - Long hitter and lots of talent.  He's going to win a major soon.  It might be here.

Steve Stricker (B) - He's playing his best golf and it might be good enough to win this week.

Bubba Watson (B) - He's cooled off from earlier this spring when he was red hot.  If he gets hot this week, he could cause some damage.

Webb Simpson (B) - Webb is having a great year, and they way he's been playing, he could be a factor this week.

Rory McIlroy (C) - It still amazes me to see him as a C-level pick.  Take him.

Zach Johnson (C) - He's played pretty well in his last four events.  He ready for Congressional.

Stewart Cink (C) - He's made six cuts in a row and plays well on tough tracks.

Sell:

Marc Leishman (A) - No reason to ak and up and down Leishman this week.

Fred Funk (B) - Mostly a Champions Tour player now.  He's from the area, but don't get fooled by that.

Daniel Summerhays (C) - Summerhays has played a whopping 19 events so far in 2011.  He's only made 5 cuts.  He must be exhausted.

Hold:

Ernie Els (A) - If you are feeling nostalgic and want to take Ernie this week because he won in 1997, go right ahead.
