10pts Dustin Johnson to beat Jim Furyk at 4/5 (bwin) 

There's a huge Dustin Johnson bandwagon gathering pace as we enter the final major of 2012 and the logic behind it isn't hard to fathom. On a rain-sodden track measuring 7,776 yards the ability to bomb away drives averaging well over 300 yards is going to be a huge asset and the 30-yard plus extra distance he'll have in hand over Furyk translates to a massive advantage.  A South Carolina native and proven wind player, Johnson is very much at home on the paspalum greens here. If we also factor in Furyk's compartively poor record in the PGA (a best finish of 24th in his last 8 starts) and the mental scars he's likely to be carrying from last Sunday's disastrous finish, Johnson has to be the call.
