This is a little known course THam. Very few players, and none of the top players, have experience here. This is also a tricky, uneven course with, as far as I know, uneven tee boxes. This is a first for an Open.
Even with practice rounds, golfers and caddies can't lay down a solid strategy. Many golfers acknowledge that this is the type of course that requires a lot of fieldwork and course knowledge.
To my knowledge, Jordan Spieth's caddy has more experience on this course than anyone else in the field. He's played it many times. In fact, while teaching math to 6th graders in Washington, Michael Greller (Spieth's caddy) worked as a caddy for Chambers Bay. He did this for years.
Greller also got married at Chambers Bay.
But if that isn't enough, Spieth himself competed at Chambers Bay in the 2010 US Amateur. He shot an 83 and Greller was not his caddy then.
While he only played one competitive round, it's more than most players in this year's US Open field have played.
Caddy with local knowledge, skills of Spieth, and one more thing...Greller tweeted a photo of Chambers Bay on April 20th (he was there two months ago), are all the makings of Spieth win.
The recipe is there, the cooks just need to get to work. Keep it in mind.
Good Luck

Some reasonable choices from 5 Dimes for the US Open:
Spieth winner… +805
Spieth Top 5….. +185 Spieth Top 10… -110 Spieth Top 20… -185
Spieth Top US player ….+500
I also like the tourney matchups…Spieth vs: Rory…+123 Lefty…. -164 Rose…. -139
Fire Away.

I was going to just use pgatour.com from my iPad mini, but I guess I'd better get used the fact that "there's an app for that."
Good luck Tham

When I read the title I though you were going all in on a 15 year old.
I k oq that sounds like a pornhub title but that's really what I though t
