US Open picks: Best bets for LACC

Tyrrell Hatton to finish Top 5 at US Open (+600)

If you take out Brooks Koepka and Jordan Smith for a lack of measured rounds, Tyrrell Hatton ranks fifth in this field in weighted strokes gained total over the last 20 rounds. It’s the profile you have to be enticed with, though. Hatton has gained more than 2.4 of those strokes tee-to-green with just shy of 1.4 strokes putting. He’s doing it all extremely well right now and, coming off of a T3 in Canada, I think we see him continue a phenomenal season with a Top 5 at juicy odds.

Eric Cole to finish Top 40 at US Open, 1 Unit (+210)

Eric Cole has been playing a ton this season with virtually no weeks off but his performance has been impressive. He’s finished in the Top 25 of five of the last seven tournaments and has been a solid ball striker who has been dialed with his short game. That could be crucial this week and, after qualifying in, I love for Cole to keep up a dream season with a pretty comfy Top 40 at nice odds for someone who’s played as well as he has this season.

Si Woo Kim to finish Top 20 at US Open, 1 Unit (+260)

Whenever you talk about a course that’s going to demand elite accuracy off of the tee and some streaky approach play combined with short game, I’m going to give Si Woo Kim a look. Those are his strengths and he’s been running hot of late, finishing T2 at the Byron Nelson and T4 at Memorial while gaining most of his strokes tee-to-green. The putter needs to cooperate but the fit and the game are there for Si Woo to make a real nice showing in Los Angeles.
