2021 US Open golf tee times, weather forecast, odds: Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka not paired in first two rounds at Torrey Pines

The biggest individual beef in golf these days belongs to Americans Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau, who also happened to have won three of the past four U.S. Opens. The 2021 version tees off Thursday morning from Torrey Pines in San Diego, and golf fans were hoping those rivals would be in the same threesome for the first two rounds, but unfortunately not. Both are +1800 to win this week on the William Hill Sportsbook golf odds.

According to former PGA Tour player and TV analyst Brad Faxon, DeChambeau and his camp shot down the idea when it was presented by the USGA.

"More people are knowing about this little fight. It's kind of become a bit of a Vegas sort of situation here. I found out the USGA actually did call Bryson DeChambeau and his agent and asked them if they would be OK with that, and Bryson declined," Faxon said Tuesday on SiriusXM.

Koepka's and DeChambeau's feud made headlines as the result of a viral moment from the PGA Championship. However, Koepka, the 2017 & '18 U.S. Open champion, has said their feud is good for the sport.

"I think it's good for the game. I really do," he said recently. "The fact that golf's on pretty much every news outlet for about two weeks pretty consistently, I think that's a good thing. It's growing the game [with] the younger generation. I get the traditionalists who don't agree with it. I understand that, but I think to grow the game you've got to reach out to the younger generation. And I don't want to say that's what this is, but it's reaching out to a whole bunch of people. It's getting golf in front of people. I think it's good for the game."

DeChambeau will play in a group with reigning U.S. Amateur champion Tyler Strafaci (+75000 to win) and Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama (+3000), and Koepka with Justin Thomas (+2200) and Collin Morikawa (+2200). It's possible that DeChambeau and Koepka are paired either Saturday or Sunday if they are around the same score.

Betting favorite Jon Rahm (+800) goes out late Thursday (4:36 p.m. ET) with Patrick Reed (+2500) and Aussie Marc Leishman (+6600).

Because the tournament is on the West Coast, the first tee times are a bit later Eastern time than a usual tournament: 9:45 a.m. The last groups will go off at 5:42 p.m. ET. A West Coast major means prime-time golf on television: The Golf Channel and NBC/Peacock are sharing coverage this year.

The Farmers Insurance Open is played at Torrey Pines in late January each year and double digits under par has won it five years in a row – Reed at -14 this year. However, both the South and North Courses are used then and just the South Course for the U.S. Open. Expect a tougher challenge.

"They tend to have rain during the Farmers for a day or, whatever, and we're not going to have to worry about that so the golf course is probably going to be a little firmer and faster than what you see in January," said Darin Bevard, Director of Championship Agronomy for the USGA.

Weather-wise, it's San Diego in the summer, so it looks perfect: Mostly sunny each day with highs around 80 and lows around 67.
