U.S. Open Golf Betting Odds: Sam Burns Favored After Round 3

The U.S. Open championship began on Thursday at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. At the outset, Scottie Scheffler, fresh off his recent victory at the PGA Championship, was considered the top contender to secure a second consecutive major title. Following the initial round, J.J. Spaun had taken the lead, though Jon Rahm, the 2021 champion, emerged as the betting favorite after completing his round with a 1-under 69, positioning him tied for sixth place.

Since that point, Sam Burns (+180) has not only moved into the lead but has also become the new favorite. His rounds of 65 on Friday and 69 on Sunday brought his score to -4 after the third round. This places him one stroke ahead of Adam Scott (+325) and J.J. Spaun (+400), and three strokes clear of Viktor Hovland (+550). No other golfers are currently under par, and those trailing are listed at odds of 28-1 or longer to win the tournament.

The final round is scheduled to begin on Sunday morning. The final groupings are anticipated to tee off in the afternoon.

Presented below are the current betting odds for players to win the U.S. Open, along with odds for achieving a top 5, top 10, or top 20 finish.
