2023 US Open
Who will shine in LA this weekend?
Good morning,
Let’s dive in…
Developing Stories 📰

From Thursday through Sunday golf’s third of four majors will be held right in the middle of the second-largest city in the United States, as the 123rd US Open will be played at Los Angeles Country Club for the first time. This course should play like many other majors after thoroughly being tested with them needing precision at its finest to escape brutal rough and impossible shot situations. The golfer who can do this best will hold an 18-inch sterling-silver trophy Sunday evening.
Los Angeles Country Club is a Par 70 and plays 7,423 yards. Wide fairways with punishing rough with potential for several lost balls throughout the weekend. Andy Lack says: “We are going to see more more birdies and double bogeys at Los Angeles Country Club because of the width and severity of the hazards. Bent-grass, firm and fast greens. The last three winning scores at Gil Hanse-restored courses at majors have been -6. The weather for all four days is forecasted to be almost the same: partly cloudy, almost no chance of rain, little wind and temperatures hovering around 70 nearly all day possibly in the mid to upper-60s in the mornings.
Each of the past 10 US Open winners were all in the top 30 of the world’s golf rankings, and the past six were inside of the top 10 and Each of the last 10 winners had already posted a top 25 in the US Open prior.
To Win:
Spieth +2500
Cantlay +1700
DeChambeau +4100

Picks 🔒

Yankees -105 | Cole comes in with much better numbers and plays for the much hotter team. He is also coming off his first loss of the season at home against the rival Red Sox, so he’ll likely have a chip on his shoulder.
Diamondbacks -135 | Kelly has tremendous overall stats while Suarez has struggled. This could be much closer than most think, as the Philly southpaw is much better on the road than at home while Kelly has a .500 record at home and has given up 6 of the 8 homers, he has allowed this season at Chase Field.
