U.S. Open Betting Predictions:
Option 1: Rory Mcllroy (+1200)
Rory Mcllroy has a great chance of winning at Pinehurst this week. Mcllroy has proven he can play at tough golf courses and has the game that sets up perfectly to win. Pinehurst requires length and accuracy off the tee, which checks both boxes for Rory. If Mcllroy can drive the ball well, he should have short irons into the speedy greens, which should create a lot of good looks. Rory hasn’t won a major in eight years, but this feels like the week he ends that.
Option 2: Colin Morikawa (+1600)
Morikawa has come so close multiple times this season, with another second place finish at the Memorial last weekend. His game is in top form as of a late, he has all the shots to win this week. He will likely be near the top of the leaderboard once again come Sunday and if he can make enough putts he has a strong chance of winning.
Option 3: Bryson DeChambeau (+2000)
DeChambeau’s lone major win came at the U.S. Open in 2020, I believe he has a great chance of capturing his second this weekend. Similar to Mcllory, Bryson should be able to take advantage of this course with his length of the tee which should set up shorter iron shots into these difficult greens. DeChambeau has the shot making ability to win this week, if he can limit any big mistakes he should be in the mix to win this week.
