2023 US Open betting tips: Three best bets for LA

The California native has finished in the top 15 at the last four majors and has recently linked up with Tiger Woods’ caddie Joe LaCava so appeals as an each-way selection at 14/1 for the first of our 2023 US Open betting tips.

Cameron Smith

One of the players most relieved at the recent merger between the biggest golf tours may be Smith, who was one of the headline acquisitions by the money men at LIV.

The LIV schedule meant Smith’s season did not start until late January and he made a slow start to the year, having been one of the stars of 2022 when his victory at The Open was the highlight.

There are signs he is getting back to his best though and his final-round 65 – the joint-best round of the week – saw him secure a top-10 finish at the US PGA.

The Australian was ranked third in the world at the end of 2022 and with the pressure and scrutiny of his LIV switch easing, he could be a value pick at 22/1 in the 2023 US Open odds.

Brooks Koepka to beat Rory McIlroy

Away from the outright winner odds, Coral have plenty of other markets and Koepka is up against Rory McIlroy in the tournament match betting.

Koepka now looks close to returning to the form which saw him secure back-to-back US Open titles in 2017 and 2018 and his recent US PGA success means he now has more major wins than regular PGA Tour titles.

McIlroy has won four majors but it is nine years since the last of them and while he may be in decent form on the PGA Tour, Koepka is more consistent when it comes to the big occasions and is 19/20 to perform better than the Northern Irishman.

For punters who fancy both players to perform well this week, Coral’s Odds Booster of 6/1 for either Koepka or McIlroy to win may appeal.
