2024 U.S. Open Odds & Picks: Collin Morikawa

The U.S. Open is returning to Pinehurst No. 2 a classic Donald Ross design in the sandhills of North Carolina. Golf fans typically associate the U.S. Open with lightning-fast greens and thick, chewy rough that severely punishes errant shots. Pinehurst's greens will be slick, but instead of gnarly rough, sandy wastelands surround Pinehurst's fairways and greens, requiring players to be creative with recovery shots.

When the U.S. Open was last played at Pinehurst 10 years ago, Germany's Martin Kaymer crushed the field, finishing -9. Runners-up Rickie Fowler and Erik Compton finished -1. That only three players finished under par shows just how stern a test Pinehurst can be.

Will Scottie Scheffler build on a remarkable season by winning his second major of the year? Can Xander Schauffele win a second straight major after his victory at the PGA Championship a few weeks ago? Is the red-hot Rory McIlroy ready to win his first major in 10 years? Or will Pinehurst see a LIV Tour star such as Brooks Koepka or Bryson DeChambeau emerge triumphant?

Collin Morikawa 2024 U.S. Open Betting Outlook

It appears that the sportsbooks have caught on to Morikawa’s recent form and are pricing his outright market among the very top favorites. I’m not blinking. He is as live to win this as anyone. His ballstriking fits Pinehurst perfectly, while chipping around these uniquely contoured greens should reveal how great the former Cal Golden Bear’s touch has been this season. I’m betting with the most confidence on his top-5 line at +320.
