The trio will go out at 8.06am local time.

Fellow Ulsterman Darren Clarke tees up alongside David Duval and David Toms, while Graeme McDowell will also have two Americans for company, in Ben Curtis and Chad Campbell.

Phil Mickelson, runner-up at Bethpage Black in 2002 and a four-time US Open runner-up, has been drawn with South African duo Ernie Els and Retief Goosen.

Goosen pipped Mickelson to victory at Shinnecock in 2004 and also took the title at Southern Hills in 2001 while Els (1994 and 1997) is also a two-time US Open champion.

World number three Paul Casey also has two former US Open winners for company - 2003 champion Jim Furyk and 2006 winner Geoff Ogilvy.

The USGA has also given the chance for Kenny Perry, Rocco Mediate and Tom Lehman to discuss hard-luck stories.

Perry bogeyed the final two holes before losing in a play-off at Augusta in April, Mediate was edged out by Tiger in a thrilling Monday finish in last year's US Open while Lehman went out in the final group in this event four straight years from 1995 but came up short each time.

Sergio Garcia is likely to attract the galleries in a three-ball which also features Colombian Camilo Villegas and Aussie Adam Scott.
