U.S. Open: The Winning Score? 284
BEN HOGAN WAS FAMOUS for sizing up a U.S. Open setup and determining what score would win the pressure-packed 72-hole marathon. And then he would go out and shoot it. Hogan won a record four U.S. Opens, and could easily have won five or six. What will it take to win this year at Torrey Pines?

Because, believe it or not, a lot of times guys don't read these sites just because they are written by the ladies.
