So those were my each-way plays, now who am I backing for glory?
Bazza’s Banker: Rory McIlroy @ 14/1 with Bet365
Here we go then. The golf romantic in all of us would love McIlroy to take this, and boy has he been trending in the right direction recently.
McIlroy, who became a global superstar at this tournament 11 years ago, has secured back-to-back top-10 finishes in the majors so far this season, including when 2nd at the Masters in April.
A 5th-place finish at the Wells Fargo also increases his appeal, and at the time of writing this preview he is in contention again at the RBC Canadian Open.
One thing we do know is that a red-hot McIlroy deserves respect and, at this price, he holds some value at a course that should suit him. McIlroy is statistically one of the best drivers around, a key skill for success at previous US Open venues.
The Northern Irishman ranks 3rd for SG: Off-the-Tee, 2nd for SG: Tee-to-Green and 2nd for SG: Around-the-Green in 2022 – meaning he has all the skills to continue that fine run of form and crown himself a major champion once again.
