Previous Winners:

2015 Jordan Spieth (USA)
2016 Dustin Johnson (USA)
Be wary of DJ when considering your US Open Betting position.
With his superb driving distance, a bomber like Dustin Johnson undoubtedly has the perfect game for a lengthy course like Erin Hills. But what puts me off is that only once has any player going into the US Open as the World No.1 lifted the trophy in the last 13 events, and that was good old Tiger Woods. Not to say that DJ’s current form is poor, but it’s not quite impressive enough for me to back him at odds as short as 8.0 to win the tournament.
US Open Betting Tips:
Justin Thomas to win @ odds of 34.0 with Sportingbet
Thomas has the perfect approach game for the challenge this week and last time out he was in the running to win The Memorial tournament before finishing in 4th place.
Thomas Pieters US Open Betting – Top 10 Finish at odds of 4.33 with Sportingbet
The long-hitting Belgian will be looking to follow up on his remarkable Masters debut with another strong showing in his maiden US Open.
Jason Day to beat McIlroy over 72 holes @ odds of 1.9 with Sportingbet
Jason Day has only been playing since injuury for a short while but he’s starting to find the form of old. In a shoot-out against the underperforming Rory McIlroy, I expect that Day will come out on top.
