U.S. Open 2025 - Betting Preview

·1 hr 10 min·4 clips

Oakmont has 5-inch rough, 16-stimp greens, and fairways so tight that roll becomes the key question.

Steve Bamford opens episode 358 as the 2025 US Open tips podcast. Paul Williams and Barry O'Hanran are part of the discussion for Oakmont major week. The show starts with a responsible gambling reminder for listeners aged 18 and over. It points listeners to the Golf Betting System website for free betting help. The site includes Steve’s 2025 US Open betting preview. It also includes Paul’s long-shot preview. A research article lays out key trends and course information. Paul has also pulled together recent major championship performance rankings. There are form table sheets in the mix too. The show also points to new and old predictor models for the US Open. Everything is available free, with no paywall and no registration. The panel says the show can also be found on X. After the housekeeping, the conversation turns to Oakmont itself. The group keeps coming back to control from the rough and the need to attack firm greens with care. Staying on the putting surface matters. So does leaving the ball below the hole. They treat bomb-and-gouge as an approach that probably will not hold up with any regularity. Steve then reads out a long list of players he does not want to back. The filter behind that list is recent strokes-gained putting form over the last eight weeks. The idea is that major winners usually sit in that stronger putting band, or else show a huge putting spike right before the event. The names they flag include Daniel Berger, Wyndham Clark, Corey Connors, Tyrell Hatton, Russell Henley, Erasmus Huygaard, Sung Jae Im, Brooks Koepka, Min Woo Lee, Shane Lowry, Robert MacIntyre, Rory McIlroy, Taylor Pendriff, Aaron Rye, Davis Riley, Cam Smith, and Nick Taylor. Barry pushes back a little because Nick Taylor is one of his outsider long-shot fancies. He notes the price is around 150-1 with eight places. The back and forth stays light, practical, and a bit cheeky. The episode closes with best wishes for everyone’s bets and DraftKings teams. There is also a mention of a Bet365 boost on Scottie Scheffler. The panel admits they are still trying to find a way to beat him.
