2025 U.S. Open long shots, sleepers and prop picks: Why Russell Henley, Ben Griffin have value
While some of golf's biggest names make up the list of U.S. Open winners at Oakmont Country Club, where it will be played this week, there is some historical precedent for a long shot to overcome a big betting favorite. Ángel Cabrera entered the 2007 U.S. Open at odds near 100-to-1, but sealed a victory over Tiger Woods, who was the 2-to-1 favorite to win almost any major championship during his prime. Scottie Scheffler is starting to break into that rarefied air that Woods occupied during his prime, when he was the favorite in every major and would not relinquish a lead once he jumped out in front. Every trend and prediction model seems to push for one of only four golfers to win this tournament: Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and, to a lesser extent, Rory McIlroy are all going to take up a large amount of volume when it comes to winner's bets. My model gives a huge boost to three of the four players mentioned above, but also reveals some surprises among the top 10 options that could create exciting betting and hedging opportunities. Ben Griffin seems to fit the mold of Wyndham Clark when it comes to a player making a huge jump mid-season in form and swing speeds. Griffin has been a solid iron player since returning to the professional circuit, but now he has added distance off the tee and has excellent touch on his lag putts. Along with Griffin, below you will find a few other options my model likes this week to varying degrees. Russell Henley (+6000) is coming off two missed cuts in major championships, but he has five top 27 finishes at the U.S. Open in his last six tries. He had his best-ever finish at the U.S. Open in 2024 with a T7 at Pinehurst No. 2. He is coming off of a T5 at the Memorial, where he gained over 9 strokes from tee to green, and only a cold weekend putter kept him from challenging Griffin and Scheffler. Advertisement Ben Griffin (+6600) has picked up a ton of club head speed this year, and the results are starting to pile up. He has two wins in his last seven starts, and he has gained over 30 strokes combined from tee to green in his last three starts. He had his best-ever finish in a major championship with a T8 at the PGA Championship less than a month ago. Jack Nicklaus was a little dismissive of Griffin at the Memorial as Scheffler pulled away, but I feel that was a little harsh. Griffin is going through an upswing that could be compared to the one Clark had in the summer of 2023. Sam Burns (+6600) has been getting decent results lately without putting his entire game together. He hadn't gained strokes off the tee and on approach in any tournament since the 2024 Tour Championship before gaining in both categories last week at the RBC Canadian Open. Burns has been good at the U.S. Open the last few years as he was amongst the leaders the first few days at both Los Angeles C.C. and Brookline before having his best finish at Pinehurst No. 2, where he finished T9. Harris English (+8000) is coming off his best finish in a major championship with a T2 at the 2025 PGA Championship. He has three top 8 finishes at the U.S. Open and has never missed the cut at a U.S. Open in his career. If English is going to win a major championship, I believe the U.S. Open is his best bet. He has been driving the ball well as of late, gaining over 7 strokes combined off the tee over his last four tournaments. Si Woo Kim killed me with his hole-in-one at the PGA Championship. I'm a glutton for punishment and don't believe in fun, so I'm rooting for the no hole-in-one this week. We haven't seen a hole-in-one at Oakmont Country Club in a U.S. Open since 1983, and I believe we won't see one this year. We get Scheffler, DeChambeau and Schauffele while also gaining all of my higher-odds options. McIlroy has looked out of sorts, while Rahm has fallen away any time he has gotten near a lead since joining LIV Golf. Advertisement Rahm vs. McIlroy: Rahm (-125) Collin Morikawa vs. Shane Lowry: Lowry (+100) Niemann vs. Tommy Fleetwood: Niemann (-105) Patrick Cantlay vs. Justin Thomas: Patrick Cantlay (-105) Tyrell Hatton vs. Henley: Henley (+100) Betting/odds links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic.
