Ben Griffin has established himself as one of the hottest betting picks for a Top 30 finish at the U.S. Open, which tees off tomorrow at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania.
The in-form golfer offers surprising value at +130 odds despite his remarkable recent run that includes a victory at the Charles Schwab, an eighth-place finish at the PGA Championship, and a solo second at the Memorial Tournament.
Griffin's statistics tell the story of his consistent excellence. He currently ranks sixth in true strokes gained tee-to-green among the U.S. Open field, sits 11th on approach shots, and holds an impressive third position in putting during his three-tournament hot streak.
Meanwhile, Sam Burns presents another attractive betting option at +115 for a Top 30 finish. The American narrowly missed claiming his sixth PGA Tour victory after finishing second in a playoff at the RBC Canadian Open.
Despite that disappointment, Burns has quietly assembled an impressive streak of six consecutive Top 30 finishes. His consistent performances include two Top 5 results and three more Top 20 placements dating back to the RBC Heritage.
What makes Burns particularly interesting heading into Oakmont? His putting has always been elite, but his approach play has shown significant improvement recently, gaining positive strokes in that crucial category over the past two weeks.
Both players offer solid value for bettors looking for last-minute additions to their wagering portfolio before the action begins Thursday morning. Will either man convert these promising stats into a breakthrough major performance?
