SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Steve Stricker finds himself in surprisingly foreign territory ahead of this week's U.S. Open at the Olympic Club. Long regarded as one of the best putters in the game with a stroke that flows like fine honey, the 45-year-old American has been struggling on the greens in recent weeks. "The last month has been a little unlike what I've been doing the last five or six years," Stricker, a 12-times winner on the PGA Tour, told reporters on Tuesday while preparing for Thursday's opening round. ...

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Bubba Watson is one of the game's most creative shot-makers but he may need to conjure up all his magical tricks to have any hope of winning this week's U.S. Open on a course he admits he just does not like. Few players can drive as far or shape the ball as much as Watson but the Masters champion fears that will not be enough to win at the Olympic Club. According to Watson, any advantages he has off the tee would be negated by the notoriously difficult course that features narrow fairways and firm greens, so he would have to find ways to improvise. ...
