The third major of the year is here.
Scottie Scheffler is once again the clear betting favorite as the U.S. Open arrives at Shinnecock Hills, with the world’s No. 1 player sitting around +500 at most sportsbooks to capture the one major still missing from his résumé.
Rory McIlroy is the only other player shorter than 10/1, while Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele, Cameron Young, and Brooks Koepka make up the next tier of contenders in what should be a loaded week on Long Island.
Here’s a look at where the leaderboard stands as we get closer to Thursday’s opening tee times.
