US Open Odds 2024 – Thomas, Scheffler Favored At Brookline

Jon Rahm entered the US Open as the favorite, and fresh off a disappointing conclusion to the Memorial Tournament, which he led by six strokes going into the final round. However, a late positive COVID-19 test forced Rahm to withdraw, missing out on the win and a huge payday.

But Rahm fought back and made clutch birdie putts on the final two holes at Torrey Pines to get to -6, and he would pick his first major championship. It was fitting for Rahm to win at Torrey Pines, where he won his PGA Tour tournament in 2017, and where he proposed to his now-wife, Kelley. Three generations were present, including Rahm’s infant son, Kepa, on Father’s Day. It was almost meant to be.

Louis Oosthuizen would finish one shot behind Rahm, and Harris English would finish solo third.

                      A $100 bet on Rahm would have won you $1,000.

Nicknamed “The Scientist”, DeChambeau is known for his scientific approach to the game. He decided that the longer you can hit it, the more success you’ll have, so DeChambeau set out to gain as much weight as he could. Forty pounds later, DeChambeau went to Winged Foot and was the only player to finish under par as his 69-68-70-67 was good for a -6 score, six shots better than Matthew Wolff. It is DeChambeau’s lone major championship to date.

A $100 bet on DeChambeau would have won you $3,000.

Woodland was a relative longshot heading into Pebble Beach in California in 2019, and he started out with a first-round 68. A 65 on Friday vaulted him into the lead, and he wouldn’t give it up as Woodland went 69-69 over the weekend to secure his first and only major championship to date. Brooks Koepka was three shots behind Woodland at -10, while Jon Rahm, Chez Reavie, Justin Rose and Xander Schauffele all sat at -7.

A $100 bet on Woodland would have won you $8,000.

Koepka had longer odds than you would have expected in 2018 as the defending U.S. Open champion at Shinnecock Hills in New York. An opening-round 75 didn’t do him any favors, either. However, Koepka shot a 66 on Friday to get into contention, shot a steady 72 on Saturday, and then held on for a final-round 68. That gave Koepka a tournament-winning score of +1, one shot better than Tommy Fleetwood and two shots over Dustin Johnson, who was tied for the lead with Koepka, Tony Finau and Daniel Berger going into the final round. It was Koepka’s second of his four major championships.

A $100 bet on Koepka would have won you $4,000.

In 2017, Koepka had the same odds as he did in 2018 to start the U.S. Open, but you could argue he should have had much longer odds. He opened up at Erin Hills in Wisconsin with a 67 and backed it up with a 70 to go into the weekend tied for the lead with Paul Casey, Fleetwood and Brian Harman. Koepka stayed near the top of the leaderboard with a Saturday 68, and then went one lower with a 67 to shoot -16, four shots better than Harman and Hideki Matsuyama. It was Koepka’s first major championship.

A $100 bet on Koepka would have won you $4,000.

Johnson had major-championship concerns before the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont in Pennsylvania. At this tournament in 2010 at Pebble Beach, where he had won the last two PGA Tour events, Johnson had a three-shot lead heading into Sunday. However, he shot 82 to finish T-8. Later in 2010, Johnson grounded his club in an area that was deemed a bunker, and received a two-stroke penalty; he lost by two strokes. In 2015 in the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, Johnson three-putted from 12 feet to give the title to Jordan Spieth.

Even in 2016, there was controversy. Johnson opened up with a 67 and 69, then shot 71 on Saturday and Sunday due to poor weather that started on Thursday and pushed tee times back all weekend. Johnson and Andrew Landry trailed by four shots behind Shane Lowry, but Lowry struggled to a final-round 76. Johnson should shoot 69 to finish at -4, three shots ahead of Jim Furyk, Lowry and Scott Piercy for his first major championship. However, he was docked a shot after his round as he mistakenly made his ball moved on the fifth green and he still putted.

A $100 bet on Johnson would have won you $1,500.
