2019 U.S. Open golfer odds

One of the most beautiful courses in the world, Pebble Beach on the California coast has hosted the U.S. Open five previous times: 1972, 1982, 1992, 2000 and 2010. While Graeme McDowell won in 2010, some household names who finished in the top 10 that year remain  Open favorites again nine seasons later, including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson.

Since his T10 finish at the 2007 U.S. Open, Casey hasn't sniffed this major's top 10. He shot 16-under to post a second-place finish at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and won the Valspar Championship earlier this season.

In his final U.S. Open tune-up, Stenson finished T8 (minus-10) at last weekend's Canadian Open, which was only his second top-10 finish this season. He's earned two top-six U.S. Open finishes over the past five years.

The 2012 U.S. Open champion at The Olympic Club just carded a 66-64-67-68, 15-under to place T2 at the Canadian Open. While his season-to-date resume leaves little to be desired, he did finish T5 at the Masters.

While he did miss the cut at the 2019 Pebble Beach Pro-Am (E), Lowry has three top-10 finishes over his past four events. On top of that, he finished T9 and T2 at the 2015 and 2016 U.S. Opens, respectively.

Kuchar finished T6 at the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and T12 and T8 at the 2019 Masters and PGA Championship, respectively. The 40-year-old PGA tour veteran still finds himself in a position to win come Sundays, which is supported by eight top-10 finishes this season.

Before last weekend's fourth-place finish at the Canadian Open, Snedeker hadn't posted a top 10 finish since mid-March. His three top 10 U.S. Open finishes over the past five years earned him a "favorite" distinction this year.

Here's Finau's past seven tournaments:

Valero Open: T61
Masters: T5
Zurich Classic: missed cut
Wells Fargo: T60
PGA Championship: T64
Charles Schwab Challenge: second
The Memorial: missed cut

While his fifth-place finish at the 2018 U.S. Open is commendable, Finau isn't playing great golf ahead of the season's third major.

Dating back to mid-February — a span of nine tournaments — Mickelson’s best finish is T18 with four missed cuts. However, his lone 2019 tournament title? That’s right, it was the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am where he torched the course to finish 19-under. The 48-year-old has finished second at the U.S. Open six times without a title to show for his efforts. Lefty placed T4 the last time Pebble Beach hosted the Open back in 2010.

DeChambeau has not placed inside the top 20 since mid-February and missed the tournament cut in three of his past four. While he did finish T15 at the 2016 U.S. Open, he’s yet to shoot under par for the tournament in four starts. Earlier this season, DeChambeau shot 3-under at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and tied for 55^th.

Here’s a U.S. Open long shot to embrace. Fleetwood accomplished what few could at last year’s Open at Shinnecock: He tamed the course. He carded a final-round 63 to finish one shot behind champion Brooks Koepka. Fleetwood shot 11-under par back in 2017 at Erin Hills to finish fourth. To say he’s on the cusp of locking down a U.S. Open title is an understatement. It is worth noting that he hasn’t competed in a tournament since the PGA Championship nearly a month ago.

Matsuyama snapped a streak of five consecutive finishes outside the top 15 when he shot 11-under to place sixth at the Memorial two weeks ago. He'll ride that wave of confidence into the U.S. Open — a major in which he finished T2 two years ago at Erin Hills and T16 last year at Shinnecock Hills.

Is Molinari’s Masters meltdown impacting his most recent play? Since Augusta, the Italian golfer has missed a cut, tied for 48^th at the PGA Championship and tied for 53^rd at the Charles Schwab Challenge. While not ideal ahead of the U.S. Open, in his past three majors, Molinari has won the British Open, tied for six^th at the 2018 PGA Championship and tied for fif^th at the Masters. His only professional start at Pebble Beach came at the 2010 U.S. Open when he shot plus-12 to miss the cut.

After four consecutive top 10 finishes at the U.S. Open — including a T2 at Merion in 2013 — Day has missed back-to-back Open cuts, at Erin Hills and Shinnecock. His 2019 tour resume isn’t much better with two missed cuts and two finishes outside the top 20 over the past month. Day’s saving grace is a T5 finish at The Masters where he shot 11-under.

The Golf Channel’s Rex Hoggard was quick to point out that Scott’s 17-under would have won the last eight Memorial tournaments, but Patrick Cantlay just happened to post a 19-under. The Aussie now boasts back-to-back top-10 finishes after a T8 at the PGA Championship. Scott’s U.S. Open resume also includes back-to-back top-10 finishes — in 2014-2015 — but he has regressed the past three years with a T18 at Oakmont and consecutive missed cuts.

The 2017 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year came one stroke shy of catching Tiger Woods at the 2019 Masters. Still only 25, Schauffele’s two 2019 tour wins came much earlier in the season, but here’s another long shot to watch. In two U.S. Open starts, he’s finished T5 (minus-10) at Erin Hills and T6 (plus-6) at Shinnecock. Schauffele’s success at Pebble Beach may come down to if he can leave recent mediocre performances in the past. Over his past four tournaments, Schauffele has finished outside the top 13 with one missed cut.

Following a T2 U.S. Open finish at Pinehurst back in 2014, Fowler missed back-to-back Open cuts only to return to form in 2017 and post a 10-under at Erin Hills (T5). However, like so many tour professionals, Shinnecock chewed him up and spit him out last year, finishing plus-11, T20. Fowler’s currently in the midst of a clunky stretch of his 2019 season. Over his past three tournaments, he’s finished outside the top 13 with one missed cut.

Thomas was forced to withdraw from the PGA Championship and missed six weeks of action due to a wrist injury. In his return at the Memorial two weeks ago, the No. 6 golfer in the world shot a respectable 1-under on Day 1 before he carded a disastrous 8-over, round of 80 — the fourth of his career — and missed the cut at 7-over. Still only 26 years old, Thomas has competed in four previous U.S. Open with an 8-under, T9 at Erin Hills, his best finish. He shot 7-under to tie for 20th at last weekend's Canadian Open.

Since tying for ninth at the Masters and teaming up with Ryan Palmer to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans (minus-26), Rahm has missed back-to-back tournament cuts. The 24-year-old Spaniard posted the amateur-low score at the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont (plus-7) but has missed two Open cuts as a pro, including a robust p;us-15 at Shinnecock last year.

When you start to dig into the U.S. Open’s history, only then do you realize how this major has a tendency to chew up past champions. Rose has two missed cuts and a T27 finish sandwiched between two top-12 finishes since winning the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion. After shooting a 3-over, 75 in the first round of the Memorial, Rose bounced back to card a 9-under 63 in the second but limped to the finish line with back-to-back 71s to finish the tournament 8-under and place 13^th.

Ignore the fact that Cantlay has played in only one U.S. Open as a professional and finished T45 (plus-15) at Shinnecock last year. To truly believe in Cantlay as a 2019 favorite, just take a quick glance at the heater he’s enjoyed the past two months. Since shooting 10-under and tying for ninth at The Masters, the 27-year old has Two T3s and won the Memorial at 19-under two weeks ago.

After a horrendous start to his 2019 season, Spieth has found his groove over the past three tournaments. He shot 2-under and tied for third at the PGA Championship, shot 5-under and tied for eighth at the Charles Schwab Challenge and despite a 1-over on Sunday, he carded a 10-under at the Memorial to finish tied for seventh. Since winning the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, Spieth has finished T37 and T35 and missed the cut the past three years. One interesting little factoid is that Spieth previously enjoyed championship success at Pebble Beach when he shot 19-under to win the 2017 Pro-Am.

Tiger made the mistake of skipping a tune-up event ahead of the PGA Championship and paid the price when he missed the cut. He tried to rectify that error by shooting 9-under at the Memorial Tournament two weeks ago. Woods looked sharp at times, but some streaks of inconsistency — highlighted by a third round 4-under on the front nine, but 2-over on the back nine — cost him a shot at the trophy. Woods has won the U.S. Open three times, in 2000, 2002 and 2008.

For being one of the game’s so-called “greats,” McIlroy is truly an enigma. A week after missing the cut at the Memorial, he shoots 22-under and wins last weekend's Canadian Open by seven strokes. The No. 4 golfer in the world has missed three consecutive U.S. Open cuts. That is not a typo. McIlroy shot plus-8 at Oakmont, plus-5 at Erin Hills and plus-10 at Shinnecock. Since winning the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club, McIlroy has finished outside the top 20 or missed the cut in six of the past seven U.S. Opens.

The “what-ifs” of golf seem to hover over Johnson at every turn. In addition to eight top-10 finishes in his last 10 stroke-play tournaments, D.J. could have been a back-to-back U.S. Open champion 2015-2016, but a three-putt on the 18^th hole awarded Jordan Spieth the victory in '15. As he often does, Johnson bounced back and broke through with a U.S. Open title the following year with a 4-under, three-stroke win at Oakmont Country Club.

How tough was the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills? The No. 1 golfer in the world shot plus-1 for the tournament win and with the victory became the first player in 29 years to win back-to-back U.S. Opens. Following his 2019 PGA Championship win at Bethpage Black, Koepka skipped the Memorial and finished T50 (minus-2) at the Canadian Open last weekend.
