Red Hot Paige Spiranac Gives U.S. Open Dark Horses, Breaks Down Oakmont
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When it comes to predicting major championships, Paige Spiranac has a better track record than many expert forecasters, at least for the current season. The popular golf influencer correctly predicted the winners of the Masters Tournament and the PGA Championship, and she hopes to extend her streak at the US Open. Spiranac shared her US Open predictions on her X account, which has over one million followers. "Cream normally rise to the top in championships like this, so no surprise the favorites are going to be Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau, but if you're looking at some dark horses, I'm liking Harris English and Ben Griffin," she said. "I'm looking for carnage this week and fingers crossed that we actually get an over par winner." There's no question that these four picks are extremely interesting. Scheffler is the overwhelming favorite in any prediction given his recent performance, especially over the past month. During that period, the World No. 1 won three tournaments, including the PGA Championship, his third career major. DeChambeau, for his part, has been second to none in terms of strong results. The reigning U.S. Open champion has a victory in LIV Golf and finished in the top 10 in the first two major championships of this season. In fact, the two-time major champion has finished in the top 10 in five of the last six majors, including one victory and two runner-up finishes.

(Photo byfor Sports Illustrated Swimsuit) MoreAs for Spiranac's dark horses, they are certainly two of the hottest players on the PGA Tour right now. English won the Farmers Insurance Open earlier in 2025 and finished second in the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow just four weeks ago. Meanwhile, Griffin has won twice in the last six weeks (Zurich Classic and Rocket Mortgage Classic). During that time, he also achieved a top-10 finish at the PGA Championship and a second-place finish at the Memorial Tournament. The surprise in Spiranac's prediction came when she didn't mention Rory McIlroy, who is considered by most forecasters to be one of the top favorites to win the US Open. His most recent results—T47 at the PGA Championship and missing the cut at the RBC Canadian Open—likely influenced her omission. As you may recall, McIlroy's results came after the USGA found his competition driver as non-conforming ahead of the PGA Championship. However, he has been seen at the Oakmont Country Club carrying the TaylorMade Qi10 model again, which he used for his early season successes.

Phil Mickelson is playing in what could be his final U.S. Open this week
The science behind how the world's best players prepare for the U.S. Open The science behind how the world's best players prepare for the U.S. Open The science behind how the world's best players prepare for the U.S. Open Phil Mickelson will be teeing it up tomorrow in the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club and it could be his final time playing in America's national championship. Mickelson, 54, has one of the most decorated careers in golf history, including six majors, but he's missing one thing in his trophy case -- the U.S. Open. He's finished as a runner-up at the U.S. Open six times. The man known as "Lefty" is playing in his fourth U.S. Open at Oakmont, the only player in the field who also teed it up when Oakmont hosted the tournament in 1994. Following his practice round on Wednesday, fans crowded around the 9th green, trying to get autographs and perhaps, one last chance to see Mickelson play at the U.S. Open as he looks to complete the elusive career grand slam. Phil Mickelson signs autographs for fans at the end of his practice round on June 11th, 2025 at Oakmont Country Club ahead of the 125th playing of the U.S. Open Championship. Mike Darnay / KDKA Mickelson won the PGA Championship in 2021 at Kiawah Island, earning him five years worth of exemptions into the U.S. Open, which run out at the end of this year. With those exemptions running out, Mickelson was recently asked about whether this would be his last appearance at the U.S. Open and he said he hadn't given it much thought. Phil Mickelson says there's a "high likelihood" that next week is his final U.S. Open. 👀 The U.S. Open is the last leg missing for him to complete the career grand slam. — Golf Digest (@GolfDigest) June 4, 2025 "I haven't thought about it too much," Mickelson said. "There's a high likelihood that it will be, but I haven't thought about it too much." USGA Chief Championships Officer John Bodenhamer said Wednesday that if Mickelson indeed runs out of exemptions, the organization would review the possibility of providing one for next year's U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills like they did in 2021. "I think the way that we would also think of Phil is we hope he earns his way in, and I think he'd tell you the same thing," Bodenhamer said. "That's what he did last time. We gave him one and then he went out and won the PGA Championship. So I wouldn't put it past him." Mickelson will start his opening round of the U.S. Open on Thursday at 8:02 a.m. off of the 10th tee. COMPLETE U.S. OPEN COVERAGE:

Scottie Scheffler Reveals Concerning Message Ahead of The U.S. Open
Scottie Scheffler Reveals Concerning Message Ahead of The U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The U.S. Open is back this week, and it's shaping up to be one of the most anticipated majors of the year. With Oakmont Country Club hosting, fans and players alike know it's going to be a brutal test of both physical skill and mental endurance.

Advertisement Scottie Scheffler, fresh off wins at the Memorial and the PGA Championship, enters as the betting favorite but he's not letting the noise get to him. 'The U.S. Open compared to the Masters is a completely different type of test. I think in the Masters you have a lot more shot making when you get around the greens,' Scheffler said at his press conference Tuesday. Scottie Scheffler looks at the trophy on hole No. 18 after the final round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Course on Madar/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Scheffler, currently the world number one, offered a unique perspective on how the U.S. Open differs from other majors. 'It's just a different type of test,' he said. Comparing it to tennis, where majors are played on different surfaces. "When you miss a green at the Masters, the ball kind of runs away and it goes into these areas and you can play a bump, you can play a flop," Scheffler said. He emphasized how strength and precision will be key, saying, ' Here, when you hit the ball over the green, you're just getting some heavy rough and it's like, let me see how I can pop the ball out of this rough and somehow give myself a look.'
