Patrick Cantlay To end prime 10, prime 20
Patrick Cantlay Vs. Tommy Fleetwood
Patrick Cantlay Vs. Justin Thomas
Patrick Cantlay to win with out Scottie Scheffler/Rory mcilroy/Bryson Dechambeau/Jon Rahm
Patrick Cantlay was a superb Us Open participant, publishing 4 first 15, together with what would have been a victory on this market final 12 months, when he arrived third behind Rory Mcilroy and Bryson Dechambeau. We’ll see if there’s a little luck within the Dart Throw right here at 25-1. I may also take Cantlay head towards Justin Thomas, who solely has a purpose among the many first 30 in a bigger since he received the PGA in 2022, and Tommy Fleetwood, which is at all times too blocked and overrated within the majors. Cantlay’s driving and Iron Play mixture ought to give him an equal risk – and maybe Birdie – in most holes, and Par is a superb rating this week.
Choose: Patrick Cantlay (+280) to complete prime 10, (+130) to complete prime 20
Choose: Patrick Cantlay (+105) towards Tommy Fleetwood
Choose: Patrick Cantlay (-115) towards Justin Thomas
Choose: Patrick Cantlay (+2500) to win with out Scheffler/Mcilroy/Dechambeau/Rahm
Corey Conners vs. Albeit straka
Conneurs has a sequence of 4 greatest 25 years within the majors, ranging from a top-10 in Pinehurst final 12 months. Straka got here second within the 2023 Open Championship, however his major report is kind of ungraded outdoors of this – he misplaced each cuts this 12 months and in six of his final 12 majors. Being secondary in 2023 is without doubt one of the three top-20s that has from its 16 majors. Conners is tenth in sg. Off-The-Tee and placing the ball within the fairway will probably be important this week.
Choose: Corey Conners (-110) vs. Albeit straka
Russell Henley To end within the prime 20
Russell Henley VS. Ben Griffin
The poor first rounds within the Masters and within the PGA introduced Henley outdoors the event this 12 months, however the US Open have been the place the place Henley has usually performed one of the best within the majors. He has been among the many first 15 three of the final 4 years, and whereas Ben Griffin has performed a superb golf recently, that is relatively the indoctrination for the good golf of the championship, so I’m curious – and skeptical – on how properly it takes place.
Choose: Russell Henley (+150) to finish up in prime 20
Choose: Russell Henley (+100) towards Ben Griffin
Jason Day To lose the reduce
Ryan Fox vs. Jason Day
Listen, Jason Day just isn’t somebody towards somebody towards. But there are definitely well being issues right here. For the day to lose the memorial, it should have one thing relatively painful. A few balls in that large tough might definitely shake a again and a wrist belongings. The US -type programs haven’t been good for the day recently because it has misplaced the final two and 4 of the final six cuts. Fox arrives at a victory, a prime 20 within the memorial and a top-30 on the PGA, so it’s definitely the participant in form.
Choose: Jason Day (+120) to lose slicing
Choose: Ryan Fox (-110) towards Jason Day
Taylor Pendrith To end prime 30
Taylor Pendrith vs. troublesome
Taylor Pendrith was probably the greatest vacationer drivers this 12 months and, regardless of having marked issues, printed 4 top-10 and a few first 5, additionally at Quail Hollow final month. Min Woo Lee is somebody who continues to attend for me to make a bit soar, nevertheless it has not but occurred, primarily due to the poor iron sport. Since he received the Houston Open, Lee has not been higher than the forty ninth in any of his 5 occasions, together with an MC A Quail Hollow.
Choose: Taylor Pendrith (+160) to complete prime 30
Choose: Taylor Pendrith (-115) towards Min Woo Lee
Rasmus Neergaard-Pettersen To reduce
Rasmus Neergaard-Pettersen vs. Matt Wallace
Neergaard-Pettersen has simply misplaced slicing the PGA, however he performed properly within the different two occasions of the PGA Tour wherein he participated, virtually profitable the puero Rico Open. Wallace has misplaced slicing greater than half of the tour occasions he performed this 12 months, so regardless of the primary Top 20 of the PGA for Wallace, I’ll go together with probably the most coherent Neergard-Ptersen.
Choose: Rasmus Neergaard-Petterson (-120) to chop
Choose: Rasmus Neergaard-Pettersen (-110) towards Matt Wallace
Xander Schauffele To end within the prime 20
The Xander’s race of 12 main 20 major 20 resulted in Quail Hollow when Schauffele completed the T-28. This 12 months it was not fully wholesome, nevertheless it appears to embrace the circumstances totally and what to anticipate from Oakmont this week. The psychological battle is a vital a part of the big golf of the championship and the truth that Schauffele has like that is time to begin a brand new top-20 strip.
Choose: Xander Schauffele (-120) to finish up in prime 20

Cutting line over 147.5
Is there +8 as a slicing line? Yes, it might simply occur, because it must be sunny on Thursday and Friday, making issues quick and agency, which signifies that the Greens must be madly quick and troublesome. I choose this line wager reduce to a profitable level level, since rain is anticipated through the weekend, which might soften issues. No rain, we’re +4 about as a profitable rating. The rain would imply that -4 is feasible, so we solely watch for carnage within the first two days and a few large names to lose the reduce.
Pick: Cut Line (+100) Over 147.5
Rory Mcilroy to lose slicing
Speaking of dropping the reduce: the place is Rory’s head proper now? From the controversy of the pilot to the PGA, Mcilroy was a catastrophe, ending the T-47 to the PGA and the slicing in Canada is lacking. He additionally skipped the memorial and didn’t give Jack Nicklaus heads-up, after which, based on studies, he shot 81 in a spherical of rehearsals in Oakmont. Afterwards, it appeared to me, he had had this misplaced gaze. We have been all cheering for him to complete the profession slam in Augusta, however since then he has been all downhill for Rory, who could not see the weekend right here.
Choose: Rory Mcilroy (+250) to lose slicing
Justin Thomas to lose slicing
I beforehand talked about how JT has solely one of many first 30 vital ones since he received the PGA in 2022. Since then he misplaced slicing in half a dozen main, together with every of the final two opens. His propensity to lose the fairway-121 ° in driving precision, 94 ° SG off-the-signic that could possibly be very thick. And that might be the kiss of dying right here.
Choose: Justin Thomas (+175) to lose slicing
Min woo lee to lose slicing
Lee fought in each majors this 12 months and has misplaced reduce in two of his final three. Lee’s putter is one of the best a part of his sport, but when he isn’t hitting the Greens, so surviving on One-Putt Pars just isn’t the way in which to go right here.
Choose: Min Woo Lee (-110) to lose slicing
Brooks Koepka To lose the reduce
Koepka performed 4 rounds in two majors this 12 months. Mathematics – which means that it has misplaced slicing in each, with 74 which is its greatest spherical. We have been eliminated for a few years now by Koepka which is the must-play within the majors, because it has not printed a prime 25 from 2023 US Open. His final seven majors: reduce, reduce, T-43, T-26, T-26, T-45, T-64.
Choose: Brooks Koepka (+105) to lose slicing
Max Greysetman To reduce
The three majors of Graysetman for the reason that starting of final 12 months have all been greater than respectable: T-33, T-32 and T-21 in Pinehurst final 12 months. He printed a spherical within the Nineteen Sixties in every of them. He misplaced solely two cuts in 17 occasions this 12 months, making the reduce in each main. His distance from the tee ought to assist him 3 out of three in the primary cuts this 12 months.
