125. American opened on Thursday in Country Club Oakmont. Can someone beat Scottie Scheffler? What is the winning score? Who could surprise?
GolfChannel.com Team is on the spot in Oakmont, Pennsylvania and offers some answers to questions that are pressure on the third major.
Who is winning at 125. American open?
Rex Hoggard: Scottie Scheffler. Because he is Scottie, the winner of three last four starts for an average of 5 ½ shots, and there is too much uncertainty to go with anything but chalk in Oakmont. Scheffler has all the tools to win US Open, or any other game tournament. The only question is if there is patience for the most demanding test game.
Ryan Lavner: Scottie Scheffler. You can make a reasonable case for a dozen other players – Bryson! Rahmbo! Shane! Collin! – But everyone comes with a warning that the world is no. 1 of his game. And there is no indication that or will be the case. Scheffler is the best driver, the best iron player (kilometers), and the most appropriate and, now, elite putter – together with their countless gifts, such as biting and patient, who make it quintessential to open open.
Brentley Romine: Scottie Scheffler. The hardest test in golf and the best player in the world. Let’s not cover things. The debt is, straight, hits it closes, is cutting on the elite level (although a little worse than its historical numbers) and set it better this year. Scheffler got his third leg on Sunday.
Is the winning rating below or across the piece?
Hoggard: Under a couple. This version of Oakmont feels somewhere between us ’16 US Open, where Dustin Johnson won 4 below, and ’07. Championship, who won Angel Cabrera in 5. The winner will end a week under a couple. But it won’t be a lot.
Lavner: Below. The first few rounds could be seasoned, with ideal terms, sun and wind, to strengthen the course obtained by historical rain levels in the last few months. But it is unlikely to last weekend, and more rain predicts, it will allow at least a few players to end up suspension in the most difficult course of America.
Romina: Under a couple but barely. The course remains soaked, but should be dried before we get more storms on Saturday. It is rough brutal, but someone will hit the Veleinds and achieve a crowd on the wedge holes in order to compensate for the likely healthy dose of Bogen.
Complete coverage from the beginning to the end for 125. US Open at the Oakmont Country Club.
Rory McIlroy more likely to oppose or miss a cut?
Hoggard: Miss Cut. It’s hard to believe that after beating masters, many thought that Newfound Freedom could enable him to go to the truth outstanding main ride, but that is not the case. It is fresh with the first missed cutting in almost a year, where he published his worst round in the non-main open RBC Canadian, and still looking for a real driver. Is not a good combination in oakmont.
Lavner: Excuse me, but the right answer is somewhere between, similar to the way he has performed on PGA (T-47). His driving situation also settled his open record – improving each year since 2019. years, top-10s all of them – cannot be ignored. But his comments in the past few weeks suggest that he is kept mentally, and OAURMONT will put every player in the binding. Will he have patience and hunger to pull out the way out? It is the biggest question this week.
Romina: Miss Cut. Especially if he drives the ball as if he was a PGA championship a few weeks ago. He is discovered He recording 81 here last Monday It doesn’t help me confidence in him either.
The third in the main year is on us. Here is a favorite to win.
Who is a dark horse (55-1 +)?
Hoggard: Brooks Koeka (60-1). There was time, not so long ago, if the coair reaches the national championship of the meaningless entrust. These days are not here – did not publish the top 10-10 in the Grand of winning 2023 PGA championship – but was strong ’16 in oakmont when for 13 yearsthAnd the most demanding appearance of the game can only be what brooks brooks.
Lavner: Sam Burns (80-1). I almost made it last week in Canada, another strong player performance that played five of the top 20s in the last six. It also has the right combination of power, accuracy and strength to characterize a place like Oakmont, and it does not hurt that the best game is on the greenery that will skip almost everything on the ground. Keegan Bradley (90-1) and Harris English (100-1) are also attracted to their prices.
Romina: Keegan Bradley (90-1). One story this weekend will be if the US Captain Ryder Cup can close the American open and rocket in contact for automatic bonding. He won’t, but he will come terribly close. And Woo Kim at 110-1 is and appealed.
