Oakmont is the stage for the 116th United States Open Championship and anyone with half an eye on social media this week will be well aware that a brutal test lies in store. Vapormax Off White Cena . Narrow fairways, thick rough and lightning-fast greens mean that five-over par, the score with which Angel Cabrera won when the tournament was played here in 2007, will surely have a chance as the USGA set out to make their national championship as demanding as possible.With four top-10 finishes in five US Opens and a near-flawless game which includes magical touch around the greens, Jason Day is the man to beat as he seeks to double his major tally and win for the fourth time this season. Rory McIlroy has to prove he can tough out and win in a likely over-par total while Jordan Spieths iron play was poor at Muirfield Village last time, while he has the added pressure of defending the title he won in such dramatic fashion a year ago. Could Phil Mickelson end his winless run this week? Day would get the token vote of the market leaders but Id rather take four-times the price - around 28/1 - that Phil Mickelson can finally land the one major missing from his trophy cabinet.Mickelsons brilliant US Open record includes everything but a win and helps dispel the myth that you need to be incredibly accurate from the tee to compete, even at a course like Oakmont.Cabrera blasted his way to the title here nine years ago and Mickelson, who is inside the top five on the PGA Tour in putting this season and was second in Memphis on Sunday, may be able to follow a similar path to glory and complete the career grand slam three years on from his famous Open Championship win. Ways to watch How to watch the US Open live on Sky Sports Almost all of his strong performances in this event, including four runner-up finishes, have come in this part of the US and hell be raring to go having really found some confidence over the last two events, striking it brilliantly in Ohio before holing almost everything last week.There are plenty of other strong candidates to keep the trophy on home soil, including in-form Dustin Johnson, but former FedEx Cup winner Billy Horschel looks better value at 100/1. Horschel has started to rediscover his scoring touch on the back of a disappointing 2015, which followed on from that brilliant, $10m triumph in the autumn of 2014 when for a time he looked like the best player on the planet.With 12 cuts made in a row - a record just two players can better - its a matter of time before Horschel goes really close again and this demanding tee-to-green test should suit one of the PGA Tours best ball-strikers. Horschel has already posted three top-10s this season Three years ago, Horschel led the US Open at halfway having hit 18 greens out of 18 in the second round at Merion and that helps indicate what he can do when everything clicks.Matt Kuchar could also give the home fans something to shout about as hes one of the in-form players in the world right now.With four top-six finishes in a row and six top-10s in his last eight, Kuchar is back to his very best and can be strongly fancied to build on a very good US Open record which includes six cuts made in a row dating back to 2010. Kuchar has finished inside the top-six in his past four starts Granted, he doesnt always finish the job off when in the mix but with an ace short-game and confidence with the driver, this really could be his week to add a major to his Players Championship and WGC titles.Of the European contingent, Martin Kaymer appears overpriced at nearly 80/1 in places.The German is a two-time major champion, dont forget, and with top-10s in three of his last five starts heads to Oakmont in something like peak form. Kaymer stormed to an eight-shot win in 2014 A patient player who hits a lot of greens when on-song and is a brilliant lag putter, the 32-year-old could be a huge factor as he seeks to add to his 2014 win in the event and climb into the Ryder Cup reckoning.Finally, Australias Marc Leishman is a strong each-way contender at around 100/1.Three top-five finishes in majors show that Leishman can peak for the big events and while his US Open record is only average, this course should suit a player with no obvious weaknesses and who secured a really impressive win at the end of 2015.Two quiet top-15 finishes serve as a lovely preparation and he could sneak under the radar and into contention.Watch the US Open throughout the week live on Sky Sports - your home of golf Also See: Oakmont course guide How Spieth won in 2015 US Open latest news Golf live on Sky Sports 4 Vapormax Plus černé .

A great teammate. An experienced professional. A player to watch and learn from. "Hes a fabulous member of any squad," said Toronto FC captain Steven Caldwell, whos known the 31-year-old Orr for more than 15 years and shares an agent. "A real character, a real winner." That character, in part, was forged the hard way. As a young man, he made mistakes that led to jail. Then the Liverpool native learned from them. If Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment is looking for someone to mentor 21-year-old Raptors centre Jonas Valanciunas, charged this week with drunk driving, it probably need look no further than its sister soccer team and Orr. He made headlines in 2006 when he was one of three Bristol City players jailed for their part in a nightclub brawl. A fourth player was given community service. Orr and a teammate were sentenced to 28 days in jail. Wales international David Partridge was given two months behind bars. The players were also suspended and fined two weeks wages by their club. "Soccer Heroes in Prison Shame" was the headline in Englands Sun tabloid. It didnt help that just days before sentencing, Orr was sent off for attempting to head-butt a teammate during a nationally televised game. Some eight years later, Orr believes his biggest mistake was just being at the Romeo Browns nightclub. "Not a lot of people actually know the story and what happened," said Orr, who doesnt shy away from his past or his missteps. A teammate -- "not necessarily a friend" -- was thrown out of the nightclub and then became involved in a brawl with bouncers, two of whom were also charged later. "Things got out of hand. It was wrong place wrong time," said Orr. "He ended up getting a beating. I tried to stop it, got caught up in it and ended up finding myself in prison at the age of 23. "Not ideal but I probably wouldnt change it, because from that, a lot of thought and reflection went on. I decided there and then its either give it everything youve got and try to make the most of this amazing opportunity that Id been given. Or Im going to find myself like many other lads around the same age, and certainly from the same city, on the scrap heap where youve got a bit of ability, youve got the talent but you havent quite got the mentality or the maturity or the discipline to succeed." Orr said he made "little adjustments," worked on his weaknesses and "really knuckled down and gave it everything." "Its eight years down the line and Im still playing football for a living. Ive got an amazing family here with me. Ive got a lot of people who mean a lot to me." Many of those stuck by him during those "dark times." "I was a young lad, I was distraught. I thought my career was finished. You think the worst at that age and I had 23 hours a day to think about it in a cell." "Im just glad I learned from a mistake, in a positive way," he added. "The outcome since then has pretty good so far. I think Ive had a decent enough career and oone I can look back (at) with pride. Vapormax Flyknit Pánská. "Even though that was an isolated incident and Im not proud of it, I certainly wouldnt change it because its probably helped make me who I am." Orr pleaded guilty based on advice that he would get some kind of community service. His father and girlfriend came to court, expecting to drive him home. Instead he was taken directly below to the cells. Orrs soccer journey featured stints with Newcastle United, Burnley, Bristol City, Queens Park Rangers, Blackburn Rovers, Ipswich Town and Blackpool before joining Toronto FC on loan in late January. He spent the bulk of his career with Bristol City, playing more than 225 games between 2004 and 2010. At 31, Orr is one of the grey beards on Toronto FCs squad. Only Dwayne De Rosario (35), Caldwell (33) and Jermain Defoe (by less than a month) are older. Orr showed his value Saturday in Columbus when injuries and suspension pressed him into service as centre back, alongside 21-year-old rookie Nick Hagglund. Toronto blanked the previously unbeaten Crew 2-0 with Orr one of three TFC players subsequently named to the MLS team of the week. The performance out of position is just why manager Ryan Nelsen acquired Orr. "For me, we needed just hardened guys who have kind of seen both sides of the tracks, if you know what I mean," Nelsen said. "Just so our young guys can learn what it takes to be a pro, to win away (games), to do the little things that it takes to be a good team. And you generally learn that from experience." Nelsen knows talent is not everything. Character plays a huge role in how far a player goes. "Our young guys have got to see that. Because its the best lesson to learn, that theyve got to do a lot of ugly stuff before they can kind of get to that top." Ask Orr about Hagglunds performance in Columbus and the veteran beams. "He was fantastic. I was delighted for Nick. His attitude towards his profession is absolutely (a) different class. He comes in every day really willing to learn and work hard. And theyre the type of lads who you want to see do well." One of the reasons Orr opted for MLS was he wanted to take himself out of his comfort zone and test himself. He has not regretted the move. Orr, who came to Canada with his wife and five-year-old twin boys, has marvelled at the passion of Torontos fans for sports. "Its really mind-blowing," said Orr. He is also blown away by Toronto FCs set-up "How can you not love this place?" he asked, pointing at the clubs well-appointed training centre. "The facilities are world-class. The citys fantastic." "So far Im loving it. Hopefully that can continue and I cant see no reason why not," he added. Orr has jumped right into Torontos sports community, taking in both Leafs and Raptors games. Hes also not afraid of getting out among the fans. A lifelong "big, big" Liverpool fan -- his 21-year-old nephew Jon Flanagan plays for the Reds -- Orr recently found out where the local supporters club was based. So he and Caldwell, with sons in tow, dropped in to see a recent Sunday game over breakfast. ' ' '
