Over 150 of the world\u2019s best golfers will descend upon The Country Club in Brookline for the 122nd rendition of the United States Open golf tournament. Located in the heart of New England in the Boston, Massachusetts suburb of Brookline, The Country Club is a rolling and rugged course full of all sorts of captivating native features. It is unconventional golf displayed in an almost magical setting. For more than a century it has hosted some of golf\u2019s most distinguished events, yet its classical and natural design remains unchanged by the advances of the modern game. One of the \u201cfounding fathers\u201d of American golf, the U.S. Open finally returns to this historic property since it last appeared in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On grounds that feel almost prehistoric, The Country Club is a layout that is as memorable as it is challenging. From blind shots and jagged rock outcroppings to saucer-like microscopic greens and uneven lies that produce unpredictable and random shots it truly is a unique course. Shot-making, patience, and creativity are all traits that are mandatory for success this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with rising anticipation for this event, and coming off an excellent tournament in Toronto at the RBC Canadian Open, much of the chatter this week will remain about the group of players who have been suspended from the PGA Tour for joining the rival Saudi-backed LIV golf tour. It will be an interesting dynamic this week as those who have defected will join those who have stayed loyal to the Tour thus far. And with Phil Mickelson\u2019s press conference kicking things off on Monday morning, we won\u2019t have to wait long for the drama to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All of the top players in the world are in attendance this week. Scottie Scheffler will attempt to become the sixth golfer in history to win both the Masters and the U.S. Open in the same season. Coming off a third-place finish in Canada, Justin Thomas looks to win back-to-back majors after capturing the PGA Championship in May. And Jon Rahm, who has had his struggles this season, returns to defend his title from a year ago won at Torrey Pines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most notable absence is Tiger Woods who has chosen to rest his still-healing body in preparation for the year\u2019s final major at The Open in Scotland next month. Former U.S. Open champions, young and old, will be teeing it up this week in Brookline as the field includes numerous players who receive qualifying exemptions for a host of different reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The field is also filled out by qualifiers who earned their way into the tournament via a process played out at courses around the country and abroad. From qualifiers fresh out of high school to 57-year-old Korn Ferry journeyman, Fran Quinn \u2013 it truly is the \u201cPeople\u2019s Tournament\u201d. The 156 registered players will be pared down to the top-60 and ties after Friday\u2019s round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keys to Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Open is an event that, for the most part, consistently plays the same way year after year. It is typically set up as a tough driving course where distance (especially) and accuracy matter. The rough is very thick and penal and the greens are fast, sloping, and repel aggressive approach shots. Thus you have to be really targeted this week with your outright and finishing bets. The U.S. Open tends to find the best players. And The Country Club in Brookline is definitely not a course where you can fake it and get lucky. The last 12 winners had an odds average of +3000. All ten of the last winners were ranked in the top 30 in the world. This was one of my requirements when selecting outrights for this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
