Ryan Fox (75-1) secured his second PGA TOUR victory of the season with a win at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic last month. He now joins Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and Sepp Straka as the only players with multiple TOUR wins in 2025.

Our pick, Sam Burns (28-1), fell just short — losing in a playoff to Fox. That marks our sixth runner-up finish of the season.

Now, the spotlight shifts to the U.S. Open at historic Oakmont Country Club, where the drama has already begun before the first tee shot is even struck.

Pre-Tournament Storylines

Bryson’s Back for More

Bryson DeChambeau arrives at Oakmont with a legitimate chance to etch his name in the history books once again. The reigning U.S. Open champion captured his second title last year at Pinehurst No. 2, adding to his 2020 triumph at the punishing West Course at Winged Foot. Few players are built for the brutality of a U.S. Open setup quite like Bryson.

This season, he’s been a fixture on major leaderboards—finishing T5 at the Masters and runner-up at the PGA Championship. Now, he looks to join rare company, aiming to become the first player since Brooks Koepka (2017–2018) to go back-to-back at the U.S. Open.

If you’re curious to see how his game translated to Oakmont earlier this year, Bryson gave fans a glimpse during a “practice round” that was anything but casual. His power and precision are on full display:

Scheffler’s Next Summit

Scottie Scheffler is running out of mountains to climb—and yet, this week, another summit awaits. The Masters champion added a second major title to his résumé in dominant fashion, dismantling the field at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow with a five-shot victory.

If Scheffler wins at Oakmont, he’ll stand one title shy of the career grand slam—a feat only a handful have ever achieved. With Rory already checking off Augusta this year, don’t be shocked if Scottie follows suit by conquering Oakmont. He enters the U.S. Open having won three of his last four starts, and his form continues to border on mythical.

At this point, betting against him feels like betting against gravity.

The Last Slam: Mickelson’s Final Shot

This year marks Phil Mickelson’s final exemption into the U.S. Open—his last official shot at completing the elusive career Grand Slam. Despite his six runner-up finishes in this championship, the U.S. Open remains the one major that has slipped through his grasp. In his ten previous attempts at capturing the final leg, Mickelson has failed to finish better than a tie for 28th. Now, at 54, he returns to Oakmont with history—and heartbreak—on his shoulders.

McIlroy’s Mission at Oakmont

Rory McIlroy has finished in the top-10 at the U.S. Open each of the last 6 years.

The record is 7 straight years, done 3 times, last by Ben Hogan (1950-56).

Rory McIlroy made history earlier this season by completing the career Grand Slam at Augusta National. Now, he turns his attention to the U.S. Open, where he’s aiming to tie Ben Hogan’s record of seven consecutive top-10 finishes. McIlroy has finished runner-up in each of the last two U.S. Opens, and his lone victory at this championship came in 2011 at Congressional (Blue Course).

He was part of the field the last time the U.S. Open was held at Oakmont in 2016, though it was a forgettable week—he missed the cut.

McIlroy enters this week searching for better form after a disappointing T47 at the PGA Championship and a missed cut at the RBC Canadian Open—his first early exit of the season.

Oakmont: Where Legends Are Tested

The 125th U.S. Open will mark a record 10th time Oakmont Country Club has hosted the championship (1927, 1935, 1953, 1962, 1973, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2016, and now 2025), the most of any venue. It will also be Oakmont’s 18th USGA championship and the first since the 2021 U.S. Amateur. In August 2021, Oakmont was officially named a U.S. Open anchor site, securing future championships in 2034, 2042, and 2049. The club is also set to host the U.S. Women’s Open in 2028 and 2038, the Walker Cup in 2033, and the U.S. Women’s Amateur in 2046.

Across the nine U.S. Opens held at Oakmont, just eight players have managed to post a score lower than 280. During the most recent championship in 2016, only four players finished the week under par—a testament to the relentless challenge Oakmont presents even to the world’s best.

Year	Winner	Par	Winning Score
2016	Dustin Johnson	70	-4
2007	Ángel Cabrera	70	+5
1994	Ernie Els	71	-5
1983	Larry Nelson	71	-4
1973	Johnny Miller	71	-5
1962	Jack Nicklaus	72	-1
1953	Ben Hogan	72	-5
1935	Sam Parks Jr.	72	+11
1927	Tommy Armour	72	+13

The last time the U.S. Open was held at Oakmont Country Club came in 2016, when Dustin Johnson broke through for his first major championship. His victory wasn’t without drama—Johnson was controversially assessed a penalty after his ball moved on the fifth green, though officials didn’t confirm the ruling until after his round. Unfazed, he delivered a composed final-round 69 to win by three shots.

From a betting standpoint, Dustin Johnson entered the 2016 U.S. Open as the fourth choice on the odds board, trailing Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, and Jordan Spieth in pre-tournament favoritism. Below is a chart highlighting the most popular futures wagers placed ahead of that championship.

Comparable Courses:

Winged Foot Golf Club (West Course) – 2020 U.S. Open

Why It Compares: Like Oakmont, Winged Foot is renowned for narrow fairways, thick rough, and some of the most complex greens in the world. The course demands elite ball-striking, strategic course management, and the ability to grind over 72 holes.

Course Traits: Firm, fast, tree-lined, brutal around the greens

2020 U.S. Open Results:

• Winner: Bryson DeChambeau (-6)
• Only six players finished under par
• DeChambeau was the only player to shoot under par in the final round

---

Oak Hill Country Club (East Course) – 2023 PGA Championship

Why It Compares: Oak Hill shares Oakmont’s northeastern roots and has undergone a restoration emphasizing classic Donald Ross elements — narrow fairways, penal bunkering, and elevated, contoured greens. It played extremely tough, with the winning score just under par.

Course Traits: Tight off the tee, long, demanding approach shots, fast green complexes

2023 PGA Championship Results:

• Winner: Brooks Koepka (-9)
• Just nine players finished under par
• Highlighted the importance of total driving and elite iron play

---

Bethpage State Park (Black Course) – 2019 PGA Championship

Why It Compares: Bethpage Black is a long, punishing layout that mirrors Oakmont in its demand for total driving, resilience out of thick rough, and elite long iron play. Its narrow fairways, deep bunkers, and elevated greens reward disciplined tee-to-green control. The 2019 PGA Championship, held in May for the first time, played firm and fast, with wind and weather contributing to high scores outside of one dominant performance.

Course Traits: Long, thick rough, tree-lined, penal bunkering, rewards tee-to-green excellence

2019 PGA Championship Results:

• Winner: Brooks Koepka (-8)
• Koepka led wire-to-wire and was the only player double digits under par at any point
• Only six players finished under par
• The course played brutally tough for the field, especially on the weekend, where Koepka shot 70-74 but held on for the win

---

Torrey Pines (South Course)

While Torrey Pines lacks some of the architectural pedigree and historical gravitas of Oakmont, it still offers a comparable test in several key areas. The South Course stretches beyond 7,700 yards and features dense rough, narrow landing areas, and a premium on both length and accuracy off the tee — a profile that fits the U.S. Open mold to a tee.

Why It Compares: Though more modern in design and layout, Torrey Pines South is one of the few courses on TOUR that truly tests total driving, long-iron proximity, and scrambling from thick rough. Like Oakmont, it’s a venue where even par is often a good score depending on conditions.

Course Traits:

• Long (7,765 yards from the tips)
• Thick kikuyu rough
• Fast, multi-tiered poa annua greens
• Coastal winds can play a role
• Penal around the greens

2025 Genesis Invitational (Torrey Pines South)

• Context: This year’s Genesis was moved from Riviera to Torrey South due to wildfires. Though setup slightly easier than a U.S. Open, the course still played firm and fast with penal rough.
• Winner: Ludvig Åberg (-12)
• Key Stats:
  • Only 31 players finished the week under par
  • Driving accuracy and strokes gained: approach were top correlators
  • Scoring Average well over par for a typical TOUR event

2021 U.S. Open (Torrey Pines South)

• Winner: Jon Rahm (-6)
• Notable Stats:
  • Just nine players finished under par
  • The cut came at +4, and only 26 of 156 players broke par for even a single round
  • Rahm won with back-to-back birdies on 17 and 18, highlighting how few scoring chances exist late in the round
• How It Played:
  • Extremely penal off the tee — driving accuracy was only 55%
  • Putting on the bumpy poa annua greens was a challenge all week
  • Like Oakmont, rewarded patience, precision, and mental toughness

Course/ Tournament History:

The United States Open Championship, commonly known as the U.S. Open, is the annual open national championship of golf in the United States and is the third of the four major championships in professional golf. First played in 1895 at Newport Country Club in Rhode Island, the inaugural event was a single-day, 36-hole competition held on a nine-hole course. Since then, the tournament has evolved into one of the most prestigious and challenging events in the sport. Originally dominated by British professionals, American golfers soon rose to prominence, with John J. McDermott becoming the first American-born champion in 1911. The U.S. Open is known for its demanding course setups—narrow fairways, thick rough, and lightning-fast greens—all designed to test every aspect of a player’s game. Historically, ties after 72 holes were settled with an 18-hole playoff, but in 2018, the USGA adopted a two-hole aggregate playoff, followed by sudden death if necessary. Winning the U.S. Open carries immense prestige along with tangible benefits, including a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour, invitations to the other three majors for the next five years, and a ten-year exemption into the U.S. Open itself.

Oakmont Country Club, located in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, stands as one of the most storied and demanding venues in American golf. Founded in 1903 by Pittsburgh steel magnate Henry C. Fownes, the course was created to be an unrelenting test of skill, and it has remained true to that vision for more than a century. With its lightning-fast greens, cavernous bunkers, and thick rough, Oakmont is renowned as one of the toughest challenges in the game.

Constructed by hand with the help of 150 laborers and a team of horses, Oakmont officially opened in 1904 as an “inland links” course—designed to echo the characteristics of the great British links layouts despite its inland setting. Originally playing to a par of 80, the course has evolved, but the spirit of Fownes’ design remains intact.

Oakmont’s national profile grew under Henry’s son, William C. Fownes Jr., a decorated amateur who brought the 1919 U.S. Amateur to the club, launching its legacy as a championship venue. Since then, Oakmont has hosted 20 national championships, including a record nine U.S. Opens. The club has witnessed countless iconic moments: Ben Hogan’s comeback victory in 1953, Johnny Miller’s historic final-round 63 in 1973, and Dustin Johnson’s long-awaited major breakthrough in 2016.

Though tree plantings in the 1950s briefly altered its character, a major restoration in the early 2000s removed over 10,000 trees, returning Oakmont to its original open and punishing layout. Today, it remains one of the purest tests in championship golf and a fixture on the USGA’s future schedule, with multiple U.S. Opens and other major tournaments already slated for the decades ahead.

In 2023, Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner led a significant renovation in preparation for Oakmont’s historic 10th U.S. Open. Their goal was to return the course even closer to Fownes’ original vision. Nearly 150 yards were added through new tees—such as on holes 3 and 11—bringing the championship layout to 7,372 yards and a par of 70. More impactful than distance, however, was the restoration of the greens. Using pre-1947 photos, Hanse and Wagner recaptured the squared-off edges and expanded putting surfaces by roughly 15%, reintroducing classic hole locations and reconnecting them to dramatically rebuilt bunkers.

Several holes received surgical updates. On Hole 2, a previously narrow fairway was widened, with bunkers repositioned to reward strategic tee shots. Hole 3 gained nearly 40 yards and an added “pew” in the infamous bunker, while a crescent-shaped bunker design tightened the landing zone. Hole 7 underwent the most dramatic redesign, restoring a long-lost cross-bunker and creating an alternate fairway. On Hole 13, the green was reshaped to make a subtle ridge playable again, creating a thrilling new pin location in the back-left. At the 17th, fairway bunkers were consolidated, and a previously safe bailout area was replaced with long fescue, ramping up the challenge.

These changes enhance Oakmont’s brutal beauty while honoring its legacy. As the club prepares to host more major championships—including U.S. Opens in 2025, 2033, 2042, and 2049—it remains a symbol of timeless championship golf.

Course Guide/ Scorecard:

Oakmont Country Club, nestled along the Allegheny River just northeast of Pittsburgh, stands as a stern and unyielding monument to championship golf. Designed in 1903 by steel magnate Henry Fownes, the course is widely regarded as one of the most demanding tests in the game, by design and not by accident.

The layout unfolds across a rolling, open expanse of western Pennsylvania terrain with no water hazards and almost no trees, offering a raw and unfiltered examination of a player’s skill, discipline, and mental fortitude. Yet what Oakmont lacks in natural ornamentation, it more than compensates for in sheer architectural audacity.

At the heart of Oakmont’s relentless challenge are its lightning-fast greens, arguably the fastest in major championship golf. Heavily sloped, firm, and treacherously quick, they place an extraordinary premium on precise approach play and razor-sharp putting. Many of these greens are perched or crowned, often repelling anything less than the most precisely judged shot.

Bunkering at Oakmont is another signature element. The course is flanked by over 200 bunkers, many of them deep, cavernous, and brutal in nature. Chief among them is the infamous Church Pews bunker, a massive hazard that separates the third and fourth fairways with 13 distinctive grassy ridges. Its visual intimidation is matched only by its strategic influence.

The routing is a masterclass in subtle difficulty. Holes ebb and flow across the property with very little respite. The par 70 layout stretches to over 7,300 yards, demanding accuracy and courage from the first tee to the final green. It begins with a relatively gentle par four, only to quickly escalate in intensity with stern doglegs, long par fours, and narrow fairways that reward placement over power.

Each nine has its own character.
The front nine is varied and tactical, highlighted by the long par three eighth and the brutish uphill ninth, converted from a par five to a par four for championship play.
The back nine is merciless, with a closing stretch that has decided numerous U.S. Opens. The par three sixteenth is long and exposed, the seventeenth invites boldness off the tee, and the eighteenth, a long uphill par four, is a true finishing gauntlet.

Thanks to recent restorations by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, Oakmont has recaptured much of its original form. Greens have been expanded to their historic edges, bunkers restructured to match early photographs, and fairways widened in strategic zones. These changes have not softened Oakmont’s bite, they have simply made it truer to its architectural roots.

In its essence, Oakmont is pure golf, a course that exposes weakness, rewards courage, and rarely forgives a moment’s lapse in concentration. For over a century, it has been a proving ground for champions and a crucible for the game’s finest talents.

Oakmont’s quartet of par threes presents a formidable examination of precision and control. Ranging from 182 to a daunting 289 yards, three of the four stretch beyond the 200-yard mark, demanding long irons or even fairway metals into narrow, well-defended targets. During the 2016 U.S. Open, each par three played over par with one exception. No. 13, the shortest of the set at just under 200 yards, yielded a scoring average of 2.99. It was the only brief moment of relative respite in an otherwise unforgiving set of one-shot holes.

Hole 6 | Par 3 | 200 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 3.14 (Difficulty Rank – 11)

The first of Oakmont’s par 3s requires precision. Aiming for the center of the green is key, as a miss left or right significantly reduces the chances of saving par.

Hole 8 | Par 3 | 289 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 3.30 (Difficulty Rank – 8)

One of the longest par 3s in the world, the 8th green is more receptive to a right-to-left ball flight. Par is an excellent score here. In U.S. Open history, this hole has twice held the distinction of being the longest par three ever played in the event, stretching to 299 yards during the final round in 2016 and reaching an even 300 yards in the final round in 2007.

Hole 13 | Par 3 | 182 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 2.99 (Difficulty Rank – 16)

The par 3 13th requires a perfect short-to-mid iron into its famously undulating green. A miss long or right makes saving par nearly impossible. Staying below the hole is essential for any realistic birdie or par chance.

Hole 16 | Par 3 | 236 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 3.24 (Difficulty Rank – 9)

A long iron or fairway wood is needed to reach this large green, which features a severe false front. The trench bunker along the left side makes this par 3 a formidable challenge.

Oakmont Country Club presents a formidable collection of twelve par fours, each sculpted to test a player’s full command of the game. The majority of these holes, four in total, fall within the demanding 450-to-500-yard range. The shortest of the group, the 17th, measures a mere 312 yards, offering a tempting risk-reward opportunity late in the round. In contrast, the 15th stands as the longest par four on the course at a stern 507 yards, requiring a pair of well-executed shots to reach the green in regulation. During the 2016 U.S. Open, the first hole emerged as the most difficult, playing to an average of 4.45 strokes, while the 17th proved the most forgiving, yielding a scoring average of 3.89.

Hole 1 | Par 4 | 289 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 4.45 (Difficulty Rank – 1)

One of the most challenging opening holes in golf, this par 4 demands a precise tee shot followed by a mid-iron approach into a green that slopes away from the player. Walking away with a par here is an excellent start.

Hole 3 | Par 4 | 462 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 4.32 (Difficulty Rank – 7)

The famous Church Pews bunker on the left, cavernous bunkers on the right, and an elevated green that requires a high, soft approach with controlled spin make this one of the most difficult par 4s in the country.

Hole 9 | Par 4 | 472 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 4.43 (Difficulty Rank – 2)

A blind tee shot, an infamous ditch looming on the left, and bunkers lining the right, make this one of Oakmont’s most demanding holes. Framed by the historic clubhouse and connected to the practice green, the 9th features one of the most iconic green complexes in the game.

Hole 15 | Par 4 | 507 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 4.39 (Difficulty Rank – 3)

This long par 4 features a blind tee shot to a fairway that slopes left to right. A mid-to-long iron approach is typically required into a large, sloping green. A par here can provide valuable momentum heading into the final stretch.

Hole 17 | Par 4 | 312 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 3.89 (Difficulty Rank – 18)

Several strategies can be used to play this hole, but each requires a well-executed shot at some point to secure a par or birdie.

Hole 18 | Par 4 | 502 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 4.32 (Difficulty Rank – 6)

One of the best finishing holes in golf, Oakmont’s 18th hole demands four well-played shots to make par. A memorable finish awaits those who execute well.

Oakmont Country Club boasts two imposing par fives, the fourth and twelfth holes, each extending over 600 yards. In the 2016 U.S. Open, the fourth hole stood out by playing just under par with a scoring average of 4.97, while the twelfth demanded greater precision and patience, posting a scoring average of 5.14.

Hole 4 | Par 5 | 611 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 4.97 (Difficulty Rank – 17)

Playing along the opposite side of the Church Pews, the left side of this par 5 is daunting, while bunkers and thick rough on the right add to the challenge. Longer hitters can reach the green in two, but a committed line on the blind second shot is necessary to create an eagle opportunity.

Hole 12 | Par 5 | 632 Yards | 2016 Stroke Average: 5.14 (Difficulty Rank – 10)

The final par 5 at Oakmont demands three well-executed shots. Bunkers and ditches along both sides require strategic play. The green slopes severely from front to back, making approach shots difficult to hold.

Strokes Gained: Tee to Green

• Oakmont is widely regarded as one of the most demanding tee-to-green tests in championship golf. Players must be in total control of their long game to contend. With punishing rough, strategic bunkering, and sloped greens, precision and consistency from the tee through approach play are paramount.
  • Leaders in this category in the last 24 Rounds:

Strokes Gained: Around the Green – Rough Length: Long

• Oakmont’s rough is among the thickest and most penal on the PGA TOUR rotation. With narrow fairways and firm, fast greens, missing in regulation is inevitable — even for elite ball-strikers. This places an added emphasis on short game performance, especially from difficult lies around the green. The greens are heavily contoured and sloped, making delicate touch and precise trajectory control crucial. Players who can consistently save par from gnarly rough or tight lies will have a significant edge.

  • Leaders in this category in the last 24 Rounds:
    • Cameron Smith
    • Si Woo Kim
    • Harris English

Major History

• Success in major championships, particularly the U.S. Open, is often less about pure talent and more about patience, precision, and resilience—qualities that Oakmont demands in spades. Players who have historically performed well in major championships are more likely to rise to the occasion at a venue that offers no room for error. The ability to navigate firm fairways, punishing rough, and lightning-fast greens under immense pressure is a proven skillset, not a fluke.

Playoff:

Will There Be a Playoff at the U.S. Open? (Yes +500 / No -1000)

The most recent U.S. Open to be decided by a playoff came in 2008 at Torrey Pines, where Tiger Woods famously edged Rocco Mediate in a dramatic Monday finish to capture his third U.S. Open title. Since then, the U.S. Open has not required extra holes, marking the longest playoff drought among golf’s four major championships.

At Oakmont Country Club, three of the previous nine U.S. Opens have also gone to a playoff. Tommy Armour defeated Harry Cooper in 1927, Jack Nicklaus topped Arnold Palmer in 1962, and Ernie Els outdueled Colin Montgomerie and Loren Roberts in 1994.

Hole-in-One:

Will There Be A Hole-in-One at the U.S. Open? (Yes +125/ No -190)

The last hole-in-one at Oakmont Country Club during a U.S. Open came in 1983, when Scott Simpson aced the 228-yard 16th hole. No aces were recorded in the 2016, 2007, or 1994 championships held at Oakmont.

However, hole-in-ones have become more common in recent U.S. Opens. Each of the past three editions featured at least one: two were made at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2024, two at Los Angeles Country Club in 2023, and one at The Country Club in 2022.

Wire to Wire Winner:

Will There Be A Wire-to-wire Winner at the U.S. Open? (Yes +700)

The most recent wire-to-wire victory at the U.S. Open came in 2014, when Martin Kaymer dominated from start to finish at Pinehurst No. 2.

Oakmont Country Club has seen just one wire-to-wire champion in its storied history—Ben Hogan in 1953.

Winning Score:

278.5 (Over -115/ Under -120)

The projected winning score for the U.S. Open is set at 278.5. That means a winning score of -2 or better cashes the under, while -1 or worse hits the over.

When Oakmont last hosted in 2016, Dustin Johnson posted a 276 (-4) en route to victory. But since then, the course has undergone a significant renovation—adding even more bite to an already punishing layout.

Players expect a brutal test. Most have pegged the winning score around even par, but Ben Griffin went a step further, suggesting it could take as much as +5 to win.

The last time the winner of the U.S. Open had a winning score was Brooks Koepka (+1) in 2018 at Shinnecock Hills.

Bryson DeChambeau (+900) – DraftKings

Bryson DeChambeau has shown strong form in the season’s first two Majors, finishing tied for 5th at the Masters and runner-up at last month’s PGA Championship. On the LIV Tour, he continues to impress with finishes of T4 at LIV Virginia last week, a win at LIV Korea, and T2 at LIV Mexico City in his last three events.

As the defending U.S. Open champion, Bryson is returning to Pinehurst Course No. 2, where he claimed last year’s title. This was his second U.S. Open win after his 2020 victory at Winged Foot Golf Club (West Course), a key comparable course this week. Additionally, Bryson has strong results at similar venues: T4 at Oak Hill (2023 PGA Championship), T26 at Torrey Pines (South Course, 2021 U.S. Open), and T15 at Oakmont Country Club in the 2016 U.S. Open.

Regionally, Bryson has excelled at Northeastern courses, with wins at the 2018 Dell Technologies Championship (TPC Boston, Massachusetts) and the 2018 Northern Trust (Ridgewood Country Club, New Jersey).

Jon Rahm has played well through the first two Majors this year, finishing T14 at the Masters and T8 at the PGA Championship. On the LIV Tour, his recent results include T8 at LIV Virginia, T7 at LIV Korea, and 4th at LIV Mexico City.

Rahm won the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines (South Course), a comparable venue for this week. He also finished T12 and T10 in the 2022 and 2023 U.S. Opens, respectively, though he withdrew from the 2024 event due to a foot infection. Like Bryson, Rahm played the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont, finishing T23.

He has found success on Northeastern courses, with strong finishes such as T6 at the 2020 Northern Trust and T4 at the 2017 Dell Technologies Championship, both held at TPC Boston. He also placed T8 at the 2022 BMW Championship (Wilmington Country Club, Delaware) and T24 at the 2018 BMW Championship (Aronimink Golf Club, Pennsylvania).

Harris English (+10000) – DraftKings

At 35, Harris English is playing some of his best golf, highlighted by his 5th PGA Tour win this season at the Farmers Insurance Open, held at Torrey Pines (South Course)—a comparable course this week. He has three top 15s in his last four PGA Tour starts.

English performed well in the first two Majors this year, finishing T12 at the Masters and runner-up at the PGA Championship. His best U.S. Open finish was 3rd in 2021 at Torrey Pines, and he also placed T8 at last year’s U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club (North Course). Like many others, he played Oakmont in 2016, finishing T37.

English’s regional success includes a T2 at the 2020 Northern Trust (TPC Boston), a 2021 Travelers Championship win (TPC River Highlands, Connecticut), and a T11 at the Truist Championship (Philadelphia Cricket Club) this season.

Northeastern native Keegan Bradley, born in Vermont and a Boston Common Golf Team member, enters this Major in solid form with consecutive top 10 PGA Tour finishes. He’s made only one cut miss in 13 starts, though he missed the cut at the Masters and finished T8 at the PGA Championship.

Bradley’s recent U.S. Open results have been mixed, with a T32 in 2024, missed cut in 2023, and T7 in 2022. Regionally, he’s excelled with a 2023 Travelers Championship win (TPC River Highlands), T30 at the Truist Championship, and a 2018 BMW Championship victory at Aronimink Golf Club.

Taylor Pendrith (+12000) – DraftKings

Taylor Pendrith is coming off a T27 at the RBC Canadian Open, following strong recent finishes of T12 at the Memorial Tournament and T5 at the PGA Championship.

Pendrith’s U.S. Open results have varied, including a T16 last year at Pinehurst No. 2, missed cuts in 2021 and 2023, and a T23 in 2020 at Winged Foot. He also showed form at Torrey Pines earlier this season with a T7.

Shane Lowry (+130) – DraftKings

Shane Lowry arrives at this Major in excellent form, with five top-25 finishes in his last six events. His only recent setback was missing the cut at the PGA Championship due to struggles in short game and putting. Earlier this year, he finished T42 at the Masters.

Lowry’s U.S. Open performances include T19 in 2024 at Pinehurst No. 2 and T20 in 2023 at Los Angeles Country Club (North Course). He placed T2 at Oakmont in the 2016 U.S. Open.

He also has solid results at Northeastern venues with a T9 at the 2024 Travelers Championship, T19 in 2023, and T12 at the 2022 BMW Championship. In Pennsylvania, he finished T2 at the Truist Championship.

Patrick Cantlay comes into this Major with four top-25 finishes in his last five events. His recent PGA Championship was a struggle, missing the cut and facing challenges in all areas except driving.

Cantlay’s U.S. Open record is impressive with a T3 last year at Pinehurst No. 2, and multiple top-15 finishes in previous years. He also performs well at comparable courses, finishing T9 at Oak Hill (2023 PGA Championship) and T5 at Torrey Pines (South Course, 2025 Genesis Invitational).

Regionally, Cantlay has consistent success with top finishes at Northeastern courses including the Travelers Championship and BMW Championship, as well as a T4 at the Truist Championship.

Course/ Tournament History:

The RBC Canadian Open is one of the most storied tournaments in golf, dating back to 1904. It stands as the third-oldest continuously running event on the PGA TOUR, behind only The Open Championship and the U.S. Open. Over the years, it has been hosted at a variety of prestigious venues across Canada, celebrating the country’s rich golf heritage.

Early editions of the tournament were played at historic clubs like the Royal Montreal Golf Club and Toronto Golf Club, which rotated between their Quebec and Ontario locations. As the event gained stature, it moved to iconic courses such as Hamilton Golf and Country Club, St. George’s Golf and Country Club, and Glen Abbey Golf Course—the latter hosting a record 30 times between 1977 and 2018.

The Canadian Open has welcomed some of the game’s greatest champions, including Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, and Lee Trevino. But for Canadian fans, the tournament holds special emotional significance. That was never more evident than in 2023, when Nick Taylor drained a dramatic 72-foot eagle putt in a playoff to become the first Canadian to win the event in 69 years—an instant classic that is now etched in Canadian sports history.

The RBC Canadian Open has redone its logo to include a silhouette of Nick Taylor’s putter toss following his 72-foot eagle putt last year (to become the first Canadian in seven decades to win Canada’s Open Championship).

Whoever did this needs a raise 🔥pic.twitter.com/gdt5r9dtk0

— Joe Pompliano (@JoePompliano) December 2, 2023

To honor Taylor’s historic moment, Golf Canada and RBC introduced a refreshed tournament logo featuring a silhouette of his iconic putter toss—a lasting tribute to one of the most memorable finishes in golf.

Now sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada, the Canadian Open continues to blend tradition with innovation. The tournament often serves as a crucial lead-in to the U.S. Open and has recently rotated between both historic and modern venues—including Oakdale, Hamilton, and Royal Montreal—to keep the event nationally representative and globally relevant.

That legacy takes a new step forward in 2025 as the RBC Canadian Open heads to TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley for the first time in its 121-year history. Located in Caledon, Ontario, the North Course recently underwent extensive renovations and will present a 7,389-yard parkland-style challenge, with wide fairways, large undulating greens, and strategic design that rewards power and precision.

Course Guide/ Scorecard:

Originally designed by Doug Carrick in 2001 and renovated by Ian Andrew ahead of the 2025 season, TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (North Course) presents a Par 70 layout featuring four Par 3s, twelve Par 4s, and two Par 5s. Measuring 7,389 yards, it ranks as the fifth-longest course on the PGA TOUR, favoring distance over precision off the tee with fairways averaging 37 yards wide—the 13th widest on Tour. The greens average 6,500 square feet, putting a premium on accurate approach play, while the 48 bunkers scattered across the course are among the fewest seen at any TOUR stop.

The Par 3s vary from 144 to 237 yards, testing a wide range of tee shots. Most notably, the 14th hole will serve as this year’s “Rink” hole—a nod to Canada’s national pastime. Originally introduced at Glen Abbey in 2017, the hockey-themed setup brings a unique atmosphere and fan experience to the tournament.

Hole 11 – 225 Yards

A heroic shot is required to carry the water and hit this peninsula green. Tee shots played out safely left land on a steep, fescue-covered hill that introduces an uncomfortable recovery shot with water waiting long.

Hole 14 – 144 Yards

A signature par 3 and ‘The Rink’ during the 2025 RBC Canadian Open, 14 features a stunning vista of Caledon’s rolling hills and plays downhill to a punchbowl green surrounded by deep greenside bunkers.

TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (North Course) features twelve Par 4s, most of which fall between 400 and 450 yards in length. The shortest is the drivable 6th hole at 350 yards, while the longest is the demanding 17th, stretching out to 530 yards.

Hole 5 – 497 Yards

Set against a right-to-left slope, a set of fairway bunkers on the right side pinch in to protect the optimal approach angle to a saddle green.

Hole 15 – 434 Yards

A dramatic dogleg right offers a choice off the tee, with a more aggressive line down the right setting up a short approach – or even a chance of driving the green.

The course features just two Par 5s—No. 1 and No. 18—both of which are reachable in two shots, offering prime scoring opportunities to start and finish the round.

Hole 1 – 542 Yards

An opening par-5 with a slight right-to-left dogleg against a left-to-right sloping fairway asks players to shape their tee shot or bring the wooded area to the left into play in order to set up an optimal approach angle.

Hole 18 – 581 Yards

An unforgettable home hole starts with a risk-reward tee shot over cavernous bunkers down the right. Tee shots that successfully make the carry are rewarded by a kicker slope, while a shortgrass runoff area in front of the green send poorly-struck approaches to a watery grave.

Featured/ Signature Hole(s): 18
