US Open golf betting is the big action on the sport this week. The 2020 US Open is being hosted this week at the tough West Course at Winged Foot in New York. This is the fifth time that the event has been hosted there.

Only on one of the previous occasions has the winner walked away with a score under par. So on a notoriously difficult course, will this be a great, and somewhat unpredictable US Open 2020?

Given that this was scheduled for earlier in the year, but had to get postponed to this September start, it could change the complexity of the tournament even more because of weather and course conditions.

Let’s get into US Open Golf betting.

Defending Champion tournament Golf Betting Odds

Last year at Pebble Beach, it was GARY WOODLAND who collected the title, meaning that each of the last five editions of the US Open has been won by a home player.

Woodland is a 60/1 shot to win the 2020 US Open* (betting odds taken from Coral at 00:36 GMT on Thursday, 17th September 2020).

He really isn’t a player who is on the radar for coming up trumps at Winged Foot this year, however.

He hasn’t been inside the top twenty in any of his last five efforts, notably missing the cut at the Northern Trust.

On such an unforgiving course which is going to be in play this week, Woodland really is a long shot to defend.

US Open Golf Betting outright favourite

It is DUSTIN JOHNSON at the head of the market for US Open golf betting 2020. Not too surprisingly after he walked away with the FedEx Cup recently. His form through the play offs was absolutely astounding.

After rattling the crossbar at the PGA Championship, he went to the Northern Trust and won, followed up with a second-place at the BMW Championship and then put the icing on the cake with a win at the Tour Championship.

It’s hard to discount the form like that. He is red-hot at the moment and he will take plenty of backing for this effort as the 15/2 outright favourite* (betting odds taken from Coral at 00:36 GMT on Thursday, 17th September 2020).

John Rahm
17/2

Coral

US Open Golf 2020 Outright Winner Pick

We are going to take some consideration towards JON RAHM to come good for his first Major. This track is going to knock a lot of the front runners out of contention, probably early too.

But Rahm is playing with a steady, consistent hand ay the moment and the Spaniard looks calm and collected. He was coming in hot through the FedEx Cup play offs.

It was a T6 at the Northern Rust, a win at the BMW Championship and then a top-five finish at the Tour Championship.

Rahm could be in prime position to hunt down that elusive major and has appeal at 17/2* (betting odds taken from Coral at 00:36 GMT on Thursday, 17th September 2020).

US Open Golf Each Way Pick

We almost had JUSTIN THOMAS as our outright winner pick at 14/1* (betting odds taken from Coral at 00:36 GMT on Thursday, 17th September 2020).

He was a three-time winner last season and importantly, he topped the charts for Strokes Gained: Tee to green. That makes him a major player at the US Open 2020.

Or at least he should and with the extended places on offer at Coral, a 14/1 each punt isn’t a bad option* (betting odds taken from Coral at 00:36 GMT on Thursday, 17th September 2020).

Top 5 Finish Picks

TONY FINAU at 7/1 is the first of our top five picks for US Open Golf betting 2020* (betting odds taken from Coral at 00:36 GMT on Thursday, 17th September 2020).

He is actually coming in as one of the best fits for the tournament. His work on the fairway could gain him a huge advantage here over some average putting. Finau was fifth at the 2018 US Open as well.

The second of our picks for a top five finish will be MATTHEW FITZPATRICK at 9/1* (betting odds taken from Coral at 00:36 GMT on Thursday, 17th September 2020).

He could quietly nudge himself along under the radar at Winged Foot.

Fitzpatrick’s tee to green work is excellent and improved putting could get him in the frame. Missed cuts at the PGA Championship and the Northern Trust cloud over some otherwise great form at the back end of the season.

Top 10 Finish Pick

HIDEKI MATSUYAMA collected a great T3 at the BMW thanks to getting his putter working. He followed it up with a steady T15 at the Tour Championship to follow up. T

hat’s about his game at the moment, steady and consistent, which is something that could play to his favour in New York.

Matsuyama is a 3/1 shot for a top ten finish* (betting odds taken from Coral at 00:36 GMT on Thursday, 17th September 2020).

England’s TOMMY FLEETWOOD is well worth a look in the US Open 2020 field. He has collected a couple of top five finishes at the US Open.

He also carded a good T3 finish at the Portugal Masters specifically to hone his tee to green game. That worked out well and he hasn’t missed a cut in any of his last twelve majors.

Fleetwood is also a 3/1 pick for a top ten finish* (betting odds taken from Coral at 00:36 GMT on Thursday, 17th September 2020).

The wildly unpredictable PATRICK REED isn’t all that unpredictable at the US Open. He has banked three top fifteen finished before at the major, the best of those being a fourth-place finish.

Reed has only missed the cut once in his last six US Open appearances and with a bit of form on his side having taken a couple of top-ten finishes recently, he could surprise.

Reed is also at that 3/1 mark for a top ten finish in US Open Golf Betting. He could go even better if he can hit a fairway or two along the way* (betting odds taken from Coral at 00:36 GMT on Thursday, 17th September 2020).
