ASA's US Open Wagering Options

 

The US Open takes center stage this weekend at historic Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, NY.  It will be the 6th time the course has played host to the US Open with the most recent being in 2018 with Brooks Koepka taking the crown that year with a 72-hole score of +1.  Driving accuracy, strokes gained (tee to green), and short game will be key at the windy, links style course this weekend.  With that in mind, here are a few wagering options we are strongly considering…

 

 

 

Fleetwood is one of the top links style, windy players on the tour which will set him up well on this course.  His game sets up perfectly for this layout and in fact he shot a course record 63 in the final round of the 2018 US Open held here at Shinnecock finishing in 2nd place behind Brooks Koepka.  He sits in the top 6 in both driving accuracy and shots gained tee to green which sets up very well here.  He’s looking for a first major win and we look for a top 10 finish.  We’ll probably sprinkle a bit on Fleetwood’s 22 to 1 odds to win as well.      

 

 

 

Fitzpatrick won the US Open in 2022 and has been in fine form this season.  He’s the only player with 3 wins this season on the PGA Tour and he has experience in this spot.  His game sets up nicely with this course as he ranks #10 on the tour in driving accuracy, #2 in shots gained tee to green, and #6 in shots gained around the green.  Fitzpatrick has 3 top 20’s in his US Open career and we look for another this weekend.

 

 

Henley has had a great run at the US Open finishing in the top 14 in each of the last 4 years with his best effort coming in 2024 with a 7th place finish.  He’s playing well this year capturing the Charles Schwab Challenge 2 weeks ago and racking up 9 top 25 finishes in his 13 tournaments in 2026.  He is the most accurate driver on the tour (#1 driving accuracy) which will be a key at Shinnecock this weekend.

 

 

Reed has only played twice this season in the Masters and PGA Championship finishing 12th and 10th respectively.  He’s won 9 times on the tour including capturing the Masters Title back in 2020.  He’s had success here at Shinnecock finishing 4th in the 2018 US Open.  He has 16 top 20 finishes in the majors including 6 top 20’s at the US Open.  We wouldn’t be at all surprised if he makes a run this weekend and ultimately lands in the top 20.
