The PGA world is still buzzing from Phil Mickelson's historic PGA Championship win, but eyes are also turning to the 2021 U.S. Open. The third major of 2021 tees off on Thursday, June 17 at the South Course at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Bryson DeChambeau is the defending champion after winning this event last September. He'll take on a U.S Open 2021 field that could be wide open after Mickelson and Hideki Matsuyama won the year's first two majors as big underdogs.
The latest 2021 U.S. Open odds from William Hill Sportsbook list Dustin Johnson as the 10-1 favorite, followed by Jon Rahm at 11-1 and Rory McIlroy at 12-1. DeChambeau joins Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka at 14-1. Mickelson is much further down the PGA odds board at 50-1. Before locking in your 2021 U.S. Open picks, be sure to see the 2021 U.S. Open predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
SportsLine's prediction model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been on fire since the return of the PGA Tour last June. In fact, it's up well over $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
At the Masters in April, McClure nailed Jon Rahm's (+250) top-five finish, as well as Corey Conners' (+550) top-10 showing. McClure's best bets netted over $450 at the Masters.
In addition, McClure was all over Daniel Berger's win at +1400 in his best bets at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February. McClure also nailed Viktor Hovland's (+2500) victory in the Mayakoba Golf Classic in December. That was one of many huge calls he's made in the past several months. He also finished profitable at the 2020 U.S. Open, nailing two of his best bets, including a +1100 top-five bet on Matthew Wolff.
This same model has also nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed its golf picks has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2021 U.S. Open field is taking shape, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected 2021 U.S. Open leaderboard.
The model's top 2021 U.S. Open predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the U.S. Open 2021: DeChambeau, the defending U.S. Open champion and one of the top favorites, struggles and fails to crack the top 10. DeChambeau has been one of the hottest players on tour this season, finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2020 U.S. Open and Arnold Palmer Invitational.
The eight-time PGA Tour champion has been explosive off the tee this season, ranking first in driving distance at 322.5 yards, but those long bombs haven't been regularly finding the fairway. In fact, he ranks 178th on the PGA Tour in driving accuracy (54.63 percent). He only has one top-10 finish since March and finished outside the top 30 in the three majors since his U.S. Open win last year. He's not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the 2021 U.S. Open field.
Another surprise: Viktor Hovland, a 28-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
The 23-year old Norwegian finished 13th at the 2020 U.S. Open and easily would've been in the top 10 if not for a disappointing 75 on Sunday. In 17 events played during the 2020-21 PGA Tour schedule, Hovland has finished in the top 25 11 times. He's also piled up six top-10s, two top-fives, and a win at the Mayakoba Golf Classic last December. He ranks first on tour in scoring average (69.783), making him a solid selection for your 2021 U.S. Open bets, according to the model.
How to make 2021 U.S. Open picks
The model is targeting three other golfers with U.S. Open odds 2021 of 22-1 or higher to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these underdogs could hit it big. You can only see them here.
