DON'T get blown off course in your US Open betting.
This year's host course Erin Hills does not have a single tree and is completely exposed to the elements.
Anybody worthy of your punting cash needs to be rock solid in the wind.
And, like in any US Open, they need to be coming into the tournament in great form.
Step forwardHideki Matsuyama.
The Japanese star, 25, is one of the strongest wind players on the PGA Tour and has three wins and two second places this season.
At 22/1 he appeals.
This is the first ever professional tournament to be held at Erin Hills.
So for any idea of how it plays we have to look back to 2011 to the US Amateur Championship.
That year,Peter Uihleinmade it to the quarter finals of the matchplay event and at 200/1 there is each way value to be had on the American.
He recently finished fifth in Puerto Rico and had a T25 in Montreal.
It is his first time at this Major as a professional but Erin Hills is likely to play easier than most US Opens so the field could open for him.
Dustin Johnsonshould tick all the boxes as golf's man in form.
But the World No1 never wins the US Open, so just don't risk it.
BACK:Hideki Matsuyama
AVOID:Dustin Johnson
E/W:Peter Uihlein
