Rory McIlroy is the betting favorite after his Canadian Open win
It’s sure to be an entertaining week at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., as bettors likely will try to have some skin in the game as the golf world sets its sights to the 2022 U.S. Open.
The 2022 U.S. Open will start Thursday at the historic course, which has hosted three previous U.S. Opens, including one of the sport’s most memorable tournaments more than a century ago.
Following Rory McIlroy’s win at the RBC Canadian Open over the weekend, a thriller in which McIlroy bested Sunday’s playing partners Justin Thomas and Tony Finau, he’ll enter the 122nd U.S. Open as the favorite (10-to-1). McIlroy jumped Jon Rahm on the betting board Sunday afternoon with his win at St. George’s Golf Course, a layout broadcasters preached was a good preview for The Country Club.
Thomas, who was in the mix in Canada until consecutive bogies on the 71st and 72nd holes Sunday, sits in a tie with Rahm (12-to-1) on the second line. Thomas is less than a month removed from his recent PGA Championship victory, as well.
