Many fans are thinking the same thing this week: Scottie Scheffler or Brooks Koepka are winning.
And, to be honest, it’s tough to blame them.
Those two players, along with Jon Rahm, seem like the heavy favorites to win the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club.

We’ve released several picks already this week, including our best bets and sleepers to keep an eye on.
However, our friends at For The Win believe one of these 10 players will hoist the hardware come Sunday in LA.

Wouldn’t it be the best storyline to see him go scorched Earth on the field after what’s gone down in golf lately? It’s a good reason as any to pick him.
