The 2022 US Open will be underway this week. Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, and Scottie Scheffler are among the top golfers expected to have success at The Country Club in Brookline, but here are three sleepers who could be making even louder noises there. Check out some of the sleepers in the 2022 US Open below.
Ancer should deserve a look from those hunting for a 2022 US Open sleeper. For one, he is third so far this season with a driving accuracy percentage of 70.03. He also has gone 12 of 17 with three top 10s and four top 25s. He finished strong at the recent 2022 PGA Championship, where he went T9 before missing the cut at the 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge. He managed to recover quickly, though, going with a T32 at the Memorial Tournament. Other strong performance he has had this season includes a T5 at the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play and a T7 at the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba.
The 41-year-old Scott is still looking for his first win of the season. He is coming off a T67 at the 2022 Memorial Tournament and was cut in the prior 2022 PGA Championship. He’s not at the top of his form lately, but at his price, Scott is worthy of attention as a sleeper with good boom potential. He is 11 of 13 this season with three top 25s, as he had a T5 at THE CJ CUP @ SUMMIT, T4 at The Genesis Invitational, and a T9 at the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play. Scott is also 17th overall this season in terms of driving distance average (311.6).
Rose is rounding into form just in time for another shot at a major this season. HE is coming off a T4 at the 2022 RBC Canadian Open and has cracked the top 15 in three of his last four starts, including a T13 at the PGA Championship. That stretch just seems to suggest that Rose has finally turned the corner after missing the cut in three of four starts from March to April. While he missed the cut as well at the 2022 Charles Schwab Challenge, Rose sort of squashed questions about his readiness for the 2022 US Open with his performance in Toronto.
