Woods, Mickelson Paired at U.S. Open

The USGA released the U.S. Open groupings and tee times today, and there's one group that is sure to have the largest gallery - by far - on the course: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Adam Scott. That threesome begins play at 8:06 a.m. Pacific time (11:06 a.m. Eastern time) on Thursday.

The USGA did a great job on this pairing, too: Rickie Fowler, Chris Kirk and Dustin Johnson. Fowler is an amateur, Kirk and Johnson first-year pros, and they were teammates at last year's Walker Cup. No, none of them are likely to be in contention, but it's a little peek into the future.

A few other pairings worth pointing out:

• K.J. Choi, Jim Furyk, Steve Stricker
• Stewart Cink, Sergio Garcia, Vijay Singh
• Justin Rose, Geoff Ogilvy, Ernie Els
