Corey Conners 2023 US Open Betting Guide: Odds, Picks & Predictions

The U.S. Open comes to the Los Angeles Country Club this week for the first time ever, and to the city of Los Angeles for the first time since 1948, when Ben Hogan won at Riviera.

A fascinating and unfamiliar venue should make for an entertaining tournament. Los Angeles Country Club's north course features five par-3s, and two of them are monsters. The 11th hole measures 290 yards, though it will play shorter since it's downhill. The 7th plays at 284 yards. Then there's the tiny 15th, which is listed at 124 yards. It could play even shorter if the pin is in front, but it's a harrowing tee shot to a small, well-guarded green. Another hole that promises high entertainment value is the 6th, a reachable 330-yard par-4 with a blind tee shot over a tree.

LACC has wider fairways than a typical U.S. Open venue, but course management will be of the essence, as having the proper angle of attack on approach shots is critical. The course figures to play firm and fast, and its undulating greens will present a stern test.

Scottie Scheffler is the betting favorite, followed closely by reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm. Not far behind is Brooks Koepka, who won the PGA last month and leads the contingent of players from the LIV Tour.

And speaking of LIV, this will be the first major since the bombshell announcement of a planned merger between the LIV and PGA tours. The deal is a controversial one, and with a blended field of PGA Tour and LIV Tour players, merger talk will add to the intrigue of the event.

The 123rd U.S. Open should be a fun ride. Buckle up.

Corey Conners 2023 U.S. Open Betting Outlook

Corey Conners has been very inconsistent this year, missing cuts in several of the big tournaments, including The Masters and the Players Championship. While he has had some strong showings and notched a win at the Valero Texas Open in April, I'm not overly confident in backing him this weekend based on his dismal U.S. Open track record. We typically see the world's best elevate their game in the majors, and I'm not sure Conners has that potential at this point in his career.
