Appearances: 4
Best Finish: 4 (2007)
Best Round: 68 (2003)

Appearances: 15
Best Finish: 2 (3 times)
Best Round: 65 (1994, 1997)

51. Miguel Angel Jiminez: Here's a guy that a lot of people thought could win a major championship during his career. He's 44 now and he still doesn't have one. He finished second to Tiger at Pebble Beach in 2000.
Appearances: 7
Best Finish: T-2 (2000)
Best Round: 66 (2000)

Appearances: 3
Best Finish: T-26
Best Round: 71 (2007)

Appearances: 1
Best Finish: MC (2006)
Best Round: 76 (2006)

54. Robert Allenby: Allenby has played well here before, but that was four years ago. In three of the past five years he has missed the cut.
Appearances: 10
Best Finish: T-7 (2004)
Best Round: 67 (2004)

55. Daniel Chopra: Chopra has only played in the U. S. Open one time but he played well at Shinecock Hills in 2004. Chopra has been making cuts but not competing for victories this year finishing anywhere from 40th to 57th in his last five events.
Appearances: 1
Best Finish: T-24 (2004)
Best Round: 68 (2004)

56. Nick Dougherty: Dougherty will play with Brandt Snedker and Jonathan Byrd in rounds one and two. Those three should make for an interesting pairing. The young Englishman has proved he can play well in past opens, finishing in a tie for seventh last year.
Appearances: 3
Best Finish: T-7 (2007)
Best Round: 68 (2007)

57. Aaron Baddeley: After a second at the Verizon Heritage, Baddeley has been struggling but at least he is making cuts. His problem? His driving accuracy ranks as #126 on the PGA Tour.
Appearances: 3
Best Finish: T-13 (2007)
Best Round: 70 (2005)

58. Jeff Quinney: A third at the Players Championship looks great on this 29 year old's 2008 schedule. He followed that up with a T7 at Colonial.
Appearances: 1
Best Finish: MC (2001)
