He now has his first title – the Farmers Insurance Open in January – and secured a pinnacle-30 end in his first-ever Masters in advance this yr.

The 22-12 months old seems to have been absolutely unfazed by way of the big stage and turned into the main amateur at this occasion the last yr.

Phil Mickelson believes he “does not have weaknesses – each a part of his recreation is an energy” however, possibly the best of these is Rahm’s riding. He averages 302.7 yards off the tee and reckons his recreation is properly appropriate to how the US Open courses are fashionable installation.

It would be incorrect of us now not to tip a reasonably big rate, although I generally like something in triple figures for my outright punt.

However, Kisner looks actually suitable cost at 55s when you consider his recreation and the stats.

Format Memorial earlier than the USA Open is popular an excellent indicator of achievement – 4 of the remaining six winners came into the opposition with a top 10 finish at Memorial in the bag. Isner finished 6th there, with a completely regular weekend of 70-69-70-seventy one. His previous time out led to a win in the Dean & Deluca Invitational.
