The 2021 US Open golf is scheduled to start at the Torrey Pines (South) course in San Diego, California on Thursday, 17 June, 2021, with the final round being held on Sunday, 20 June 2021.
Jon Rahm is still the +1000 favorite according to Bovada’s golf odds, but although he has a good record at the Torrey Pines course, he has recently tested positive for COVID-19 and will have his preparation disrupted by having to isolate until just two days before the scheduled start of the tournament.
Brooks Koepka (+1500 Bovada) is renowned for raising his game at the majors and won back-to-back US Opens in 2017 and 18. He was a recent runner-up to Phil Mickelson in the US PGA at Kiawah Island too, so comes into the tournament in good form.

Who won the 2020 US Open title?
Bryson DeChambeau won what was his first (and to date only) major title, when he was crowned 2020 US Open champion at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York in September 2020.
The championship had to be postponed for three months due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was played without spectators as a result.
DeChambeau was a comprehensive winner, finishing with a six-under-par 274 which left him with a six-stroke margin of victory over the 21-year-old US Open debutant Matthew Wolff as runner-up.
The South African Louis Oosthuizen finished 3rd, Harris English was 4th and Xander Schauffele was 5th.
