2021 U.S. Open weekend odds, picks: Proven computer model reveals projected leaderboard, surprising PGA golf projections

Russell Henley and Richard Bland enter the weekend tied for the lead at the 2021 U.S. Open. Meanwhile, Louis Oosthuizen and Matthew Wolff, who earned a runner-up finish at this event last season, sit one shot back. Despite sitting two shots off the lead, Jon Rahm is the 7-2 favorite at William Hill Sportsbook, followed by Xander Schauffele (6-1) and Oosthuizen (7-1). Henley and Wolff are next in line on the PGA odds board at 10-1, while Brooks Koepka, a four-time major champion, is going off at 12-1. 

We simulated the final two rounds of the 2021 U.S. Open 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been RED-HOT since the PGA Tour resumed in June. In fact, it's up well over $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

At the 2021 Masters, McClure nailed Jon Rahm's (+250) top-five finish, as well as Corey Conners' (+550) top-10 showing. McClure's best bets netted over $450 at the Masters.

In addition, McClure was all over Daniel Berger's win at +1400 in his best bets at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February. McClure also nailed Viktor Hovland's (+2500) victory in the Mayakoba Golf Classic in December. That was one of many huge calls he's made in the past few months.

After nailing Sergio Garcia (+5500) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the Sanderson Farms Championship, McClure finished up over $6,200 yet again on his best bets in that tournament. The model had him in the top five from the start and McClure's best bets included Garcia winning outright. He also finished profitable at the 2020 U.S. Open, nailing two of his best bets, including a +1100 top-five bet on Matthew Wolff.

This same model has nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns!

One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2021 U.S. Open: Oosthuizen, a major champion and one of the top Vegas favorites, stumbles and fails to crack the top five! Another surprise: Justin Thomas, a 25-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday.

Also, the model is targeting THREE other golfers with odds longer than 20-1 who will make surprising runs! Anyone who backs these long shots could hit it BIG.
