The US PGA Championship is the fourth Major of the year and probably sits behind the Masters, the US Open and the Open Championship in prestige, too.
Middle order
Shaun Micheel shocked everyone to win the PGA at Oak Hill 10 years ago, in what remains his only victory on the PGA Tour, and I reckon there is a chance we could have another less-fancied winner this time if Scott doesn't come through.
I always thought a heavy hitter would win at Merion - and Justin Rose did - while a really top player was always going to prevail at Muirfield - and Phil Mickelson did, just like Ernie Els, Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson and Nick Faldo in years gone by.
But the fact Micheel beat Chad Campbell into second place and Tim Clark and Alex Cejka into third and fourth respectively shows you don't have to be a big name to do well at Oak Hill and that will give hope to some middle order players this week.
I'm sure some of the new American stars -
Harris English, Jordan Spieth, and Kyle Stanley, all of whom have won once on the PGA Tour - will hope to contend, but I feel Japan's
Hideki Matsuyama could be the top young player at Oak Hill.
The 21-year-old has been phenomenal; he has earned two wins and two second-places in his rookie season as a pro on the Japan Tour, while he also finished tied for 10th at the US Open and in a share of sixth at the Open Championship
I watched him up close at Muirfield and the kid can play.
ROB'S PGA TIPS
I think the straight-driving
Adam Scott will do it; he got the Major hoodoo off his back by winning the Masters, while I like the way he is swinging the club and using that long putter. I think
Henrik Stenson will be the top European again - unless he is fatigued by his recent good form - while for an outsider I will go for
Chris Wood, who had a good week at the Bridgestone.
