US Open Tips

U.S. Open - Chambers Bay, University Place, Wash.

15 June 2015 - 21 June 2015

Tip date: 15 June 2015

The US Open moves to a brand new venue for this year’s edition. Chambers Bay is a long par 70 which measures up to 7800 yards from the back tees. It’s a links-style set-up with wide fairways, vast bunkers and a lot of fescue for the seriously wayward. It is widely regarded as an extremely stern test if, as expected, the wind blows. Martin Kaymer won last year’s event at a very different Pinehurst.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Sergio Garcia	2pt each way 35-1	Bet365 TOP SIX	Finishing position: T18 Back Sergio Garcia Again
Sergio could be a dark horse this week. He’s in good current form and rewarded our followers with a very nice runner up finish at the Players last month. He’s a good driver and finds a decent number of greens. He’s also a very proficient wind player. On this week’s blank canvas we think he’s well worth a punt at this price.
Jim Furyk	2pt each way 40-1	SkyBet TOP SIX	Finishing position: T42 Back Jim Furyk Again
Jim is a hard course specialist and has contended at a number of Opens. He’s also playing some great golf. He won at Harbour Town in April and was T5 last time out at Memorial. If this one turns into a grind then Jim could easily pop up in the paying places this week.
Charley Hoffman	2pt each way 125-1	SkyBet TOP SIX	Finishing position: MC Back Charley Hoffman Again
We’ve had some success with Charley over the years and he’s playing possibly the best golf of his career right now. It’s looking wide open this week and Hoffman has a realistic change of a place finish assuming his good play continues. He’s not had a great US Open record but this course is far removed from anything the tournament has faced before.
