He has just the one tournament win so far this season, the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in January.<\/p>\n<h3>Rory McIlroy<\/h3>\n<p>Rory McIlroy is hot on Spieth\u2019s heels, and is currently priced at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/us-open\" target=\"_blank\">+800<\/a> to claim a fifth career major at Oakmont. McIlroy won his first ever major at the 2011 US Open in Bethesda. He finished tied for 9<sup>th<\/sup> in last year\u2019s tournament at Chambers Bay, and was a respectable T-10 at Augusta in April.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his good Masters performance, McIlroy also had a couple of top-five finishes in March \u2013 the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship and the Dell Match Play.<\/p>\n<h3>Jason Day<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-106975\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jason-Day-2-600x340.jpg\" alt=\"Jason-Day-2\" width=\"600\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jason-Day-2.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Jason-Day-2-250x142.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Last but certainly not least among the usual threesome of favorites, Jason Day is <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/us-open\" target=\"_blank\">+900<\/a> to add to his solitary major title, which came\u00a0during last year\u2019s PGA Championship. The Aussie was tied with McIlroy for 10<sup>th<\/sup> at Augusta, but he should be a major player once again at Oakmont.<\/p>\n<p>Wherever the US Open is held, Day seems to excel. He\u2019s finished in the top-10 in four of the five US Opens he\u2019s participated in, with two runner-up finishes. Day is currently second in the FedEx Cup standings on the strength of back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the WGC-Dell Match Play.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sleeper<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>Branden Grace<\/h3>\n<p>Take a close look at Branden Grace at Oakmont. The South African missed the cut at Augusta, but has more than made up for it by winning the RBC Heritage and earning a top-10 finish at the Valero Texas Open. Those terrific results launched him up to 17<sup>th<\/sup> in the FedEx Cup rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Grace\u2019s missed cut at the Masters, he did show the ability to\u00a0perform\u00a0very well\u00a0at major tournaments last year. He finished T4 at Chambers Bay in last year\u2019s US Open, and was third at the PGA Championship. Grace should be pretty decent value at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/us-open\" target=\"_blank\">+3,300<\/a> to claim his first ever major title.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Long Shot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3>Angel Cabrera<\/h3>\n<p>The US Open was last held at Oakmont back in 2007, where Angel Cabrera ended up winning his first of two career majors. Cabrera hasn\u2019t had much success at the US Open since \u2013 four missed cuts in eight years \u2013 but maybe a return to Oakmont (which has hardly changed at all since 2007) will bring a change in his fortunes.<\/p>\n<p>With odds of <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/us-open\" target=\"_blank\">+10,000<\/a>, anyone who does wager on Cabrera is going to earn a fortune if he does pull off the improbable win.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and start placing wagers on some potentially profitable golf futures bets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/18\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-95579 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Golf-Banner-v1-1-1-8-16.gif\" alt=\"Golf-Banner-v1-1-1-8-16\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world&#8217;s best golfers will converge at Oakmont Country Club for the 2016 US Open on June 16-19.
