6) Sam Burns
Sam Burns comes into the 2025 US Open as a player to watch. Known for his steady play and strong performance under pressure, Burns has shown he belongs among golf’s top names.
Recently, Burns finished solo second at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open. He lost to Ryan Fox, but coming close to the win boosted his confidence going into the US Open.
He is offered odds of +8,000 to win the 2025 US Open. These odds suggest he is not the top favorite, but he has a real shot based on recent form.
Burns’s strength comes from his solid ball-striking and sharp putting. If he keeps his focus on the greens and handles Oakmont’s challenging course, he could compete deep into the event.
Burns’ experience in major tournaments continues to grow, making him a reasonable pick for those looking for value in the field.
