Brooks Koepka is tearing it all up in the PGA Tour, and among the expected suspects, he’s the favorite to win the tournament after doing so for the past two years. All good things will inevitably come to an end, though, and for Koepka, this year could see the end of his current reign at the US Open. If not Koepka – or any other big names – here are three high value sleepers to consider betting on.

Top 3 High Value Sleepers and Sleeper Picks and Predictions for the 2019 PGA US Open Golf Championship
Where: Pebble Beach, California
When: June 13-16, 2019

TV Broadcast: CBS
Jason Day (+2000)
Day is still searching for his first win of the season. He did not come anywhere close to achieving that goal the last time he was on a course, as he missed the cut at the Memorial Tournament earlier this June. But the former No. 1 player can show up on any given tournament, and could have strong performance in Pebble Beach, based on how he fared there in his last trip to the course. Day had a T4 at the 2019 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am back in February. He has five top 10s in 14 starts this season and has six total top-six campaigns out of 10 starts at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Xander Schauffele (+3300)
Schauffele missed the cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge but regained his footing a bit with a T14 at the Memorial Tournament. Schauffele has managed to keep in step with the big hitters whenever he’s in a majors tournament, as he has three top five finishes in the majors since 2017. The latest was a T2 at the 2019 Masters. On the season, Schauffele has two wins and four wins in 15 starts, while missing the cut just twice. He is currently third in the FedExCup points (1,670) leaderboard.
Patrick Cantlay (+5000)
If Cantlay was looking for a shot in the arm heading into the US Open, then he just got one when he won the Memorial Tournament, firing a 64 in the fourth and last round of the event to seal the deal. But more than the current momentum he is enjoying, it’s the fact that Cantlay is one of the three players who finished inside the top 10 in the first two major tournaments of the year, copping a T9 at the Masters and getting a T3 at the PGA Championship. In addition to that, Cantlay also tops the season with a 69.16 scoring average while also ranking sixth in birdie average (4.43).
