Scottie Scheffler doesn’t go off-script. Those 15-20 seconds before he approaches the ball are always the same. He fiddles with his grip, until the club settles properly into the grooves of his hands.

A very strong field and an extremely difficult course can't stop bookmakers from making Scottie Scheffler a historic favorite for the 125th U.S. Open. His incredibly short odds also aren't preventing bettors from backing him en masse.

Bryson DeChambeau returns to defend his U.S. Open title. Jon Rahm, who won this major in 2021 and played well at Oakmont in 2016, is another serious contender. Rory McIlroy hopes to find his form again after some recent struggles.
