CABRERA IN WITH HARRINGTON AND LOVE

CABRERA IN WITH HARRINGTON AND LOVE

Reigning champion Angel Cabrera has been grouped with 2007 British Open winner Padraig Harrington and American Davis Love III for next week's US Open.

This year's only major winner so far, South Africa's Trevor Immelman, who triumphed at the Masters in April, tees off with Zach Johnson and Canadian Mike Weir.

Current European Tour Order of Merit leader Miguel Angel Jiminez is paired with Boo Weekley and Japan's Shingo Katayama, while 2005 champion Michael Campbell, of New Zealand, is with Sweden's Jesper Parnevik and American Todd Hamilton.

In an all-English trio, Ian Poulter, Paul Casey and Luke Donald chase their first major, as does Sergio Garcia, who is paired with world number 12 Stewart Cink and three-time major winner Vijay Singh.

Jim Furyk, who won at Olympia Fields in 2003, is paired with world numbers seven and nine, Steve Stricker and KJ Choi.

Earlier, US Open organisers announced that Tiger Woods had been paired with Phil Mickelson and Adam Scott, while Ernie Els, Justin Rose and Geoff Ogilvy make up another mouthwatering trio.

Woods' group goes off at 8.06am local time while Els, Rose and Ogilvy tee-off at 1.36pm.
