Open is fast approaching with the key question being the same one everyone is asking across the golf world: Who are you picking to win at Winged Foot.

Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm are looking to continue their incredible play.

Open, and Rahm has the short game to stand up even if he doesn't have his best tee-to-green package at Winged Foot.

Sleeper -- Adam Scott (50-1): Scotty has a world-class short game and the iron play Winged Foot demands.

Star who definitely won't win -- Bryson DeChambeau: His style just is not going to work this week.

But his short game is not where it needs to be, and he won't be able to decimate Winged Foot like he has other courses on the PGA Tour.

Top 5 in order: Jon Rahm, Collin Morikawa, Adam Scott, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed.

Rahm won both those events because he's got world-class form that separates him from the rest when faced with a course that demands all of the shots.

His well-rounded game and continued maturity as a star on this stage sets up perfectly to win his first major championship and keep this hot streak going into the fall. .

Sleeper -- Matthew Fitzpatrick (60-1): Applying the same system here, Fitzpatrick finished third at the Memorial and tied for 6th at the BMW Championship making him the only other player (with Rahm) to log a top 10 at both events.

Star who definitely won't win -- Justin Thomas: I like J.T.

Open in principle, but it's definitely not the case at Winged Foot.

He's playing well enough that he could definitely finish top 10, but it's not the right fit for him to be the winner. .

Top 5 in order: Jon Rahm, Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Cantlay, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson.

He's a monster with his irons and always plays with control, which will be crucial to success at what's sure to be a week filled with carnage at Winged Foot.

He's finished second or T2 in the U.S.

Top 10 lock -- Dustin Johnson: Generally, I have less confidence in D.J.

He's coming off a Tour Championship win and a FedEx Cup Playoff win, and he has finished T2 or better in four consecutive outings dating back to the PGA last month.

Star who definitely won't win -- Rory McIlroy: Since winning the U.S.

Top 5 in order: Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele.

Despite that, he's been playing quite well in every phase of his game except with the putter.

He is absolutely going to be in contention at Winged Foot.

He's going to spend the first two days at Winged Foot surrounded by fellow former Pokes as an Oklahoma State trio of Fowler, Viktor Hovland and Matthew Wolff will be pushing each other

Top 10 lock -- Dustin Johnson (17/2): D.J

Star who definitely won't win -- Tiger Woods: I am of the belief that Tiger has more majors to win, but he is not going to take Winged Foot

Outside of his Masters victory, which is nothing to thumb one's nose at, he's finished no better than T21 in his last four majors, missing two cuts

He's the biggest star out there, and he's definitely not going to win -- this week

Top 5 in order: Justin Thomas, Webb Simpson, Jon Rahm, Patrick Cantlay, Dustin JOhnson

He's not going to do it
