Best Finish: T35 (2002)
Best Round:
72 (02, 07)

69. Hunter Mahan:
Mahan has just two top tens in 16 events this season on the PGA Tour. He did finish 13th last year at Oakmont but with his inconsistency it's hard to expect him to contend.
Appearances: 2
Best Finish: T13 (2007)
Best Round:
72 (03, 07)

70. Dean Wilson:
Wilson has made the cut in 11 of the 17 events played this season but has only four top 25 finishes. He does not rank higher than 72nd in any major statistical category.
Appearances: 3
Best Finish: T30 (2001)
Best Round:
70 (2003)

71. Ben Curtis:
Ben has not played well in a major since he won the British Open, but does know how to deal with major championship pressure so if he finds himself in contention on Sunday he will be ready.
Appearances:
4
Best Finish: 30 (2004)
Best Round:
68 (2004)

72. Fredrik Jacobson:
Jacobson finished T32 at the Players Championship but has missed the cut in every event but that since April 20th at the Verizon Heritage. He does have a top five finish, although it was all the way back in 2003.
Appearances:
2
Best Finish: T5 (2003)
Best Round:
67 (2005)

73. Ross McGowan: McGowan has made all but five cuts on the European Tour this season. The 26 year old will be playing in U. S. Open numero uno.
Appearances: N/A
Best Finish: N/A
Best Round: N/A

74. Thomas Levet
: Levet has played pretty well on the European Tour this season and is currently 46th on the order or merit.
Appearances:
3
Best Finish: T18 (2002)
Best Round:
70 (2002)

75. Rocco Mediate:
Mediate finished T6 at the Memorial but before that his best finish of the entire season was a T36. He's too inconsistent to like at a U. S. Open.
Appearances:
12
Best Finish: 4 (2001)
Best Round: 67 (01, 05)

76. Craig Parry:
Parry has struggled on the Japan Tour this year and hasn't won. His best finish is a T11. Way back in 1993 he finished T3 at Baltusrol.
Appearances:
13
Best Finish: T3 (1993)
Best Round:
66 (1993)

77. Ian Leggatt:
Leggatt has missed eight cuts in 10 events this year on the Nationwide Tour. He played well in 2003 at Olympia Fields.
Appearances:
3
Best Finish: T20 (2003)
Best Round:
68 (2003)

78. Rich Beem:
The Beemer has played here six times and he's left on Friday all six times. This weekend he hopes to be playing in the third round for the first time ever. He might need to work on his putting, he ranked 147th in putts per round.
