2025 U.S. Open match-up picks, predictions: Corey Conners vs. Jordan Spieth, Ben Griffin vs. Shane Lowry
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. The U.S. Open kicks off Thursday at one of golf's most iconic venues, Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. Scottie Scheffler is a historic favorite after a dominant showing during the PGA Championship, but there are plenty of other betting opportunities to target. Here's a look at a couple of matchups we're targeting for this weekend's action. Corey Conners vs. Jordan Spieth Corey Conners has been one of the breakout PGA Tour stars of 2025. The Canadian has five top-10 finishes so far this season and has proven to be a cut-making machine, playing the weekend in 14-of-15 starts, including 13 straight since falling short at the Sony Open in January. Since mid-February, Conners has finished 30th or better in 10 of 11 tournaments he's entered. Jordan Spieth, who is slightly favored to finish ahead of Conners this weekend at Oakmont, has been more of a wild card of late. He's missed the cut just twice this year, but Spieth has finished outside the top-30 in four additional tournaments, suggesting he's having a hard time putting four solid rounds together. Conners has finished ahead of Spieth in both majors this season. Look for the up-and-comer to do it again this weekend. The play: Corey Conners to finish ahead of Jordan Spieth (-105, BetMGM Sportsbook) Ben Griffin of the United States prepares to play a shot on the third hole during a practice round prior to the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 10, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Getty Images Ben Griffin vs. Shane Lowry Ben Griffin comes into the U.S. Open as the hottest player in golf outside of Scottie Scheffler. Over his past three tournaments, Griffin has won the Charles Schwab Challenge, finished second at the Memorial, and finished T-8 at the PGA Championship. He's a big underdog to beat out Shane Lowry this weekend, despite playing as well as anyone in the field. Lowry has enjoyed a strong season, with two runner-up finishes and two additional top-10s, but he's struggled during the majors, finishing T-42 at Augusta and missing the cut during the PGA Championship. The Irishman is a much more familiar name to the average golf fan, but Griffin is the hot hand to ride in this matchup.

Jon Rahm Gets Brutally Honest on LIV Golf Fields from US Open
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. Jon Rahm has achieved 21 consecutive top-10 finishes in LIV Golf spanning the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Regardless of the league, it is an impressive run. However, only two of these finishes count as wins, which is somewhat concerning for the Spaniard. "I would happily trade a bunch of them for more wins, that's for sure," he said ahead of the upcoming US Open on Tuesday. Jon Rahm of Spain speaks to the media during a practice round prior to the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 10, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Jon Rahm of Spain speaks to the media during a practice round prior to the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 10, 2025 in Oakmont, fans disagree about where Rahm's feat fits into the world of golf. Some consider it a testament to the two-time major champion's exceptional talent. Others think it's merely an anecdote. What very few expected was how the Spaniard would respond when journalist Dan Rapaport asked him about it during his press conference at Oakmont. "I'm a realist in this case. I've been playing really good golf, yes, but I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't easier to have top 10s with a smaller field," Rahm said. "That's just the truth, right? Had I been playing full-field events, would I have top 10 every single week? No." "But I've been playing good enough to say that I would most likely have been inside the top 30 every single time and maybe even top 25, which for 21 straight tournaments I'd say that's pretty good. I still would have had a lot of top 10s, that's for sure." You have to give Jon Rahm credit for his honest take on this stat.... — Jamie Kennedy (@jamierkennedy) June 10, 2025 Jon Rahm followed these shocking comments appeared to backtrack a bit. "I think winning is equally as hard, but you can take advantage of a smaller field to finish higher." "I wouldn't always -- as much as I want to give it credit personally for having that many top 10s, I wouldn't always give it as the full amount just knowing that it's a smaller field." In contrast, Rahm has finished in the top 10 75 times in his PGA Tour career, including his eighth-place finish at the PGA Championship four weeks ago. This represents 48.08% of the 156 events he has played in on the American-based circuit. Taking his last full season on the PGA Tour as a reference point, Rahm finished in the top 10 in exactly half of the tournaments he played (20 events, 10 top 10s). Note that this was the 2022–23 season, widely considered the best of his career thus far. That year, he won four tournaments, including the Masters, and added two second-place finishes.

DeChambeau eyes new LIV deal ahead of US Open defence
Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau of the United States reacts during a practice round ahead of the 125th US Open at Oakmont (Warren Little) Defending US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau said Tuesday he expects to sign a new deal with LIV Golf when his current contract with the upstart Saudi Arabia-backed circuit expires next year. DeChambeau was one of the highest-profile players to join LIV when it was launched in 2022, signing a lucrative contract reportedly worth more than $100 million. Advertisement While talks are ongoing about a deal which could see LIV and the PGA Tour form a unified circuit, DeChambeau said Tuesday he is planning to ink a new contract with LIV in future. "Next year is when it ends," DeChambeau said. "We're looking to negotiate end of this year and I'm very excited. They see the value in me. I see the value in what they can provide, and I believe we'll come to some sort of resolution on that," he said. DeChambeau sees a long-term future with the Saudi-backed series despite a framework agreement for investment in the PGA Tour by LIV's financiers, the Saudi Public Investment Fund. Two years since that pact, no final deal has emerged. "I think that LIV is not going anywhere... whether everybody believes in it or not, I think it's a viable commercial option," said DeChambeau. Advertisement "I know my worth. I know what LIV brings to the table and I'm excited for the future of what golf is going to be." DeChambeau hasn't suffered for sponsors since joining LIV, saying, "LIV has been very freeing for me, in a really good way. If anything, it has helped almost reestablish who wants to be a part of this, and I think that's really cool." In the short-term, however, DeChambeau remains focused on defending his US Open crown, revealing on Tuesday that he had recently begun using a new set of irons as he readies for this week's test at Oakmont. The 31-year-old American won his first major at the 2020 US Open and added last year's US Open by getting up and down from 55 yards on the last hole to edge Rory McIlroy by a stroke. Advertisement DeChambeau's most recent title came at last month's LIV Golf Korea before he was second at the PGA Championship and took a share of fourth at last week's LIV Golf Virginia, where his new irons got their first test. "I put them in play last week and they felt great," DeChambeau said. "Is it going to be the ultimate answer to me winning? I mean, probably not. You've still got to putt well, drive it well and everything. "They seem to have helped this week. Will it help me on certain shots in certain conditions? I think it might. If it doesn't, I'll go back to the drawing board and try to figure out why that occurred and continue to optimize." DeChambeau, who could become only the eighth back-to-back US Open winner this weekend, remains a hugely popular figure online, with more than two million people following golf videos on his Youtube channel. Advertisement "Part of it is doing it for the fans, patrons and the people that are viewing myself on YouTube," he said. "That's really what gets me up in the morning and gives me a lot of passion for this game." js/rcw
