Players

To anticipate a darkhorse winning a major is quite difficult, as there are simply too many outstanding players. However, we have compiled a list of top picks for the 2022 US Open golf tournament.

Justin Thomas

He is one of the favourites to win the US Open golf tournament in 2022. Justin has completed the third-largest 54-hole comeback in major tournament history. After lifting the Wanamaker Trophy at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte in 2017, his victory at Southern Hills Country Club put an end to a five-year quest for a major victory.

Scottie Scheffler

He is the overwhelming favourite to win the 2022 US Open golf championship. Right now he’s in a good mood, having just won the Masters. Furthermore, he was also lauded for his handling of major championship pressure, as at the Masters.

Jordan Spieth

His first major championship was the 2015 Masters, which he won. After that, he’s finished in the top three in the Masters four more times since then, including in 2021. His other greatest accomplishments include a runner-up at the Byron Nelson, a win at the RBC Heritage, and a T-7 at Colonial. He is quite on a roll.

Collin Morikawa

He is, without a doubt, the most consistent ball-striker in the league right now. Morikawa’s career has gotten off to a scorching start. Furthermore, the 25-year-old has already won two majors since making his PGA Tour debut in 2019. Therefore, winning the US Open seems like a foregone conclusion.

Will Zalatoris

Over the last two years, no one has earned more strokes in majors than this golfer. The 2021 Masters was the first time most golf fans heard of Zalatoris. In addition, he tied for eighth place in his first and only PGA Championship appearance and tied for sixth place at the 2022 Masters.

Jon Rahm

He is the defending champion and World No. 2 in this competition. Rahm has been the betting favourite in every event he’s entered this year. In 2022, however, he has yet to mark his win. Furthermore, his highest finish this year was runner-up at the Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Rory McIlroy

He is one of the finest golfers in the world. However, the Northern Irish golfer hasn’t won a major championship since 2014. But, after his recent performances, he is back in the picture of favourites.

Viktor Hovland

He is currently unstoppable. These days, he wins every competition he joins. In two US Opens, he finished T-12 and T-13, respectively, and T-12 at The Open last year. Furthermore, he tied for 21st place in the Masters last year and T-32 this year.

Predictions

The analysis shows that Scotty Scheffler will stumble and finish in the top five at the tournament. He had a great season, winning four times and finishing in the top ten seven times. But, it has calmed down in recent weeks.

However, Viktor Hovland is making a strong bid for the US Open title in 2022. He has a considerably better shot at winning it all, making him a tempting target for anyone hoping for a huge win.
