2025 US Open Picks & Predictions: Shane Lowry

by |

The third major of the year, the 2025 U.S. Open, begins Thursday at Oakmont Country Club in Western Pennsylvania.

Oakmont is a classic U.S. Open venue with narrow fairways, overgrown rough, and lightning-fast greens. We'll once again get to see the famous "Church Pews" - the huge bunker bordering holes No. 3 and No. 4 that has rows of grass strips in the sand.

It will be a challenging test for the best players in the world. Will we get a head-to-head duel between No. 1 player in the world Scottie Scheffler, who won the PGA Championship last month, and No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who won the Masters in April? Or will LIV Tour star Bryson DeChambeau successfully defend his 2024 U.S. Open title?

The BettingPros Guide to the 2025 U.S. Open will drill down on all the wagering opportunities this tournament presents, taking a closer look at the top contenders for America's national championship of golf.

Read on for our 2025 US Open picks and predictions for Shane Lowry.

Course History

The U.S. Open has not been kind to Shane Lowry, as he has just two top-10 finishes in 12 appearances, which includes four missed cuts. The optimism is that one of those to-10 finishes was at Oakmont Country Club, where he finished his tournament-best (T-2).

Recent Form

Lowry has been inconsistent throughout the year. While he has three top-10 finishes, he also has two outside the top 30. He was very close to winning his first tournament of the year. At the Truist Championship, he had his first win in five years locked up on the final few holes, but he would bogey two of the final three, eventually losing to Sepp Straka in a playoff.

Unfortunately, that might have unraveled Lowry, as he proceeded to miss the cut at the PGA Championship, then his next two tournaments were T-13 and T-23 finishes.

Betting Outlook: 2025 U.S. Open Picks & Predictions

Accuracy will be key at Oakmont due to its tight fairways, and Lowry's 64.23% driving accuracy ranks 28th this year. His approach to the green has been one of the best, as his 1.443 total strokes gained is fifth. Lowry is someone to keep an eye on as a top-20 finisher. If you want to get bold, though, there is potential for him to finish in the top 10.
