From June 15-18, 156 of the best golfers in the world will be chasing down a major at the Erin Hills golf course in Wisconsin, but only 1 can emerge victorious. The player who eventually emerges victorious is going to be the one who can best master a course that is absolutely brutal. There are already several players who have stated that the course is too tough, but shouldn’t that be the case for one of the most prestigious events on the PGA Tour calendar? Rather than trying to predict a winner in this piece, we are instead going to focus on 5 predictions about how things might play out. Let’s see how many we actually get correct and some of the latest golf betting predictions.
A Closer Look At The 5 U.S Open Predictions That Shouldn’t Go Unnoticed
Don’t Expect a Lot of Low Scoring
As we have already said, Erin Hills is a course that is not for the faint of heart. This is a set-up that rewards accuracy over power, and we all know that staying accurate over a period of 4 rounds of golf is incredibly taxing, which means that mistakes are going to be made. Combine that with weather conditions that might well wreak havoc and you get a winning score that is not likely to break any course records.Look for the Europeans to Excel
Deep rough and howling winds are going to make this US Open feel as though it is being played on British soil. As such, we can probably expect to see a lot of European players hanging around near the top of the leaderboard on Sunday afternoon. We might even see Sergio Garcia land back to back major wins.
