6 Bulldogs I believe.
Mitchell-shortest odds, worst course history of all the dogs in the field that have played it. Great bet for first round leader, hopefully he can put together 4 rounds this week, has as much talent as anyone in the field. I expect to see him as one of the best, that didn't play last week. And if he is as on fire as he has been, he could hit 80% of the greens, and he's leading the PGA in birdies.
Thompson-2nd here last year, has been playing Signature Events and Majors so the SG don't show out as much as they did a year ago, because of the competition and set-up of the courses he's been on. He is gaining through the, the putter has been letting him down though, he's lost in 7 of eight. But good news is, he has 12 rounds on this course and he's gained a stroke 6 times and never lost more than 1/3rd. He has gone 54/21/2nd here.
Kirk- He is 4/4 on cuts here, with a 12th. Slowly, very very slowly trending in the right direction. Exact type of spot Chris Kirk shows up and wins, and he has had some great success here. First real money he made after coming back a few years ago, good vibes, and he's put the work in, wouldn't be surprised to see him either.
Sigg- TONS of wedges here, he's in the top 3 on the PGA tour for wedges, fairways are wide open, hopefully he has had a few minutes to practice, but maybe the baby Swag can carry him through? He is 250-1(+25000) which is saying he has 10x the chance to win of Kevin Kisner.
Kisner- 40% of the time he has played here he has a top 10. He has gained in fairways hit and GIR the last two times out and hitting more and more fairways every week. But really His last win came out of absolutely no where, on a course also designed by Donald Ross that he has had success at. $5 to win $12,505 at his current odds. Which is ridiculous. The odds say he is going to win here 1 in 2500 times. Thats dumb, this course plays short, fairways are easy to hit and wedges and putting matter. Im not saying he is going to win or even probably going to win, but that number is just silly, for these specific circumstances. Also, he is +250 to make the cut, which isn't good enough. And +800 to top 40 which is for here, imo. Also, lil hustler play, +2800 to be T10 after day 1. The course will play long and he won't succeed or it will be dry and roll all day long, and he will.
Will Chandler is shorter odds than Kisner, at +500 to top 40. He is 1000-1(+100000) to win, 120-1 to top 5 and 50-1 to top 10, 18-1 to T20. He is +2000 or 20-1 to be top 10 after day 1. Hes been in the top 10 and only played 14 times this year, had 4 great days in Phoenix earlier and going to another track that is neither too long or narrow for him. The US Open is a horrible test to see if there is improvement in his game currently, if you take that out he is definitely trending in the right direction. Flattest course, flattest greens, wide fairways, 500 degrees so it goes further, hope he has himself quite the week.
