Mito Pereira Melts Down in Final Round
Mito Pereira entered the final round with a three-stroke lead on the field. Despite not playing his best golf, he still had a one-stroke lead heading into the final hole. He pulled driver on the 18th, and his tee-shot ended in the water hazard. After a few more bad shots, he ended up scoring a double-bogey to not only lose, the lead, but miss out on a playoff.

Pereira was listed at around +15000 (150/1) to win the event, and would've been the first Chilean golfer to win a major tournament.
Can Justin Thomas Win the U.S. Open?
Justin Thomas has now proven twice that he can win a major tournament, and has silenced critics who pointed out he hadn't been in contention in many major tournaments after winning his first in 2017.
Despite this being his first tournament win of 2022, Thomas has been one of the best and most consistent golfers on Tour. I wouldn't be shocked to see his odds become shorter as we approach the tournament, so I'd recommend betting on him sooner rather than later.
