2024 U.S. Open Odds & Picks: Shane Lowry

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?

Shane Lowry U.S. Open Course History

Shane Lowry, who's now 37 years old, played the 2014 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2. It wasn't a successful trip to North Carolina for the Irishman, as he missed the cut, shooting 73-73 (+6). Lowry secured a ninth-place finish the following year at Chambers Bay and a second-place finish in 2016 at Oakmont, but he hasn't cracked the top 10 in seven subsequent U.S. Opens.

Shane Lowry Recent Form

It hasn't been a massively successful campaign for Lowry, but he does have three top-10 finishes this season. His best performance (aside from a shared victory with Rory McIlroy in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a team event) was a sixth-place showing at the PGA Championship at Valhalla last month. Statistically, Lowry is just 42nd in SG: Total (0.585 AVG) this year.

Shane Lowry 2024 U.S. Open Betting Outlook

The variance level is pretty high with Lowry. He's finished 33rd or worse in five of his last six events, so even with a 66-1 payout, I'm not rushing to the window to back the 37-year-old. Even a +190 payout (DraftKings) to finish inside the top 20 isn't enticing. I'll stay away from Lowry this weekend.
