2024 U.S. Open Odds & Picks: Hideki Matsuyama

by |

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?

Hideki Matsuyama U.S. Open Course History

This will be Hideki Matsuyama's second time playing Pinehurst No. 2, with his prior attempt yielding a 35th-place finish at the 2014 U.S. Open. The one-time major winner shot 69-71-74-74 over the four days, netting him a +8 score and a $46,803 payout.

Hideki Matsuyama Recent Form

The Japanese-born golfer is putting together another respectable season. The climax came back in February when Matsuyama won the Genesis Invitational. He's since bagged three more top-10 finishes over six tournaments played. He's coming off a solid weekend at the Memorial, where he placed eighth overall. Matsuyama has finished 35th or worse in the two other majors this season.

Hideki Matsuyama 2024 U.S. Open Betting Outlook

It's never really a surprise when Matsuyama is in the chase heading into the weekend. That said, there's a clear lack of success when it comes to majors, as Matsuyama only has two top-10 finishes at major championships since the start of 2018. I think there are more reliable players that we can hitch our wagon to this weekend, so I'll stay away from backing Matsuyama in any futures market.
