The U.S. Open: Get ready for carnage

[navyblue81]

This is as brutal a layout as maybe ever in the history of the game. Patrick Reed called it the worst rough he’s ever seen. Jon Rahm said if someone miraculously finishes under par they’ll win by “several shots.” In three US Opens played there, just two players have ever finished under par and that was in soft conditions in 84. Hale Irwin won in 74 at +7 and Geoff Ogilvy in ‘06 at +5. Breezy, cool and dry conditions are forecast this week. Fairways are very narrow, rough is very high, course is very long, and greens are very undulated and complex.

In other words, if you like seeing grown men struggle, this is your week. And it’s why betting this Open is so tough. DJ the obvious favorite but you can shoot 80 so easily here.

Perfect spot for Sergio

[stevek173]

Agreed

[d2bets]

So who's the most accurate to dial in? I don't really think it's DJ, is it? Seems made for an underdog to come in and be dialed in.

What about Paul Casey? Guy is still due to get one and he's pretty steady and accurate.

good info

If you’re looking for a super long shot, Chez Reavie. Near the top in accuracy and finished 3rd last week and at Open last year.

Among the faves, DJ is still prolly the best play given how strong he has been of late. Just don’t like playing odds that low (8-1) on this tough a course. I’m more inclined to put a bet on Berger or Schauffele who are two guys I really like this week and offer good value. Also like Simpson’s tee-to-Green game.

Soooo, Lefty not an option here?

I'm in huge.....

Somebody bet $45,000 on Phil Mickelson to win U.S. Open, and the payout would be astronomical

https://www.golfdigest.com/story/phil-mickelson-bet-to-win-us-open-william-hill

This is the only major Lefty has never won. Last time Lefty was at Winged Foot, in 2006, he had the lead on the 72nd hole.

All he needed was a 4 to win, a 5 for a playoff. He shot a 6.

Lefty has been 2nd at the US Open 6 times, that's a record, but if you look at his last 6 US Open starts, Lefty hasn't placed better than a tie for 28th.

sergio lol

ok

Majors suppose to be tough golfers pussies

[MickeyMan]

Found a bet that either 1 or 0 guys would be under par for the tourney at -138

[Otters27]

Like these ones. Anything can happen

[d2bets]

Is there a prop for the worst completed round? Maybe like 85 or so?

[Unrivaled]

The only players who don't whine about majors being tough are DJ and Koepka and they are always in contention. Most of it is in their heads.

Hit the fairways and stop complaining.

DJ won the US Open in 2016 on arguably the second-toughest course in the world, Oakmont. So I expect him to be there on Sunday. I'd be shocked if he wasn't. Reed is another guy who seems to play good on tough layouts.

[jjgold]

Sergio couldn’t win with a 10 shot lead there’s some amateurs here

[newton0038]

Did his buddy Billy Walters drop that on Phil???

Maybe add Scheffler and Horsfield to your picks this week

Over 84.5 - 135 on 5Dimes.

See this is where I wish Sports Books let me buy like 3 Strokes.

Get the line to 81.5 at -500 and bet like $2500 to win $500.

[pavyracer]

Why don't they mow the high grass? jjgold can do it for just a $25 freeplay.

Which book?

[CHOICE]

There have been 2 tourneys at difficult courses since the restart. Rahm has won both of them.

[MinnesotaFats]

Why is this in tennis?

365

[MickeyMan]

Which book?

-150 now. It was +100 last night but unfortunately I hadn’t really looked into it until this morning after reading players comments about the course so got it at -138.

Scheffler is out with COVID

[d2bets]

Where is the carnage?

[RudyRuetigger]

Where is the carnage?

you must not be watching and didnt hear what faldo just said

[jjgold]

It takes time it’s too early

[d2bets]

you must not be watching and didnt hear what faldo just said

I am not watching. Just looked at the scoreboard.

[navyblue81]

Where is the carnage?

It’s only round 1. Easiest scoring conditions of week. They threw the players a bone and set up some easy pins. But even Faldo said no one will end up under par even if someone shoots 64 today.

[Unrivaled]

There is no carnage.

I'd like the wager.

Any book offering whether the winner finishes under par. I'll eat chalk on yes.
