SportsLine’s prediction model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been on fire since the return of the PGA Tour in June. In fact, it’s up over $8,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure finished profitable to open the FedEx Cup Playoffs at the Northern Trust, nailing three of his best bets, including a +700 top-five bet on Daniel Berger. After hitting a top-five bet (12-1) on Doc Redman at the Wyndham Championship, McClure finished up over $700 in that event.
The model was all over Dustin Johnson (8-5) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the Tour Championship and Justin Thomas winning the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational at 12-1. And at the 3M Open, McClure’s best bets returned a whopping $1,100 as he nailed a top-five pick on Max Homa (12-1) and a top-20 pick on Talor Gooch (4-1). Those are just some of his big recent wins.
In all, the advanced computer model has nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend, including two of the last four. Last year at the U.S. Open, the model nailed Gary Woodland’s win entering the weekend, even though he wasn’t the favorite. Anyone who has followed its golf picks has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2020 U.S Open field is taking shape, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
The model’s top 2020 U.S. Open predictions
One huge shocker the model is calling for at the U.S. Open 2020: Rory McIlroy, a former U.S. Open champion and one of the top Vegas favorites, stumbles and barely cracks the top five. McIlroy’s emphatic 2011 U.S. Open victory at Congressional Country Club was remarkable, defeating runner-up Jason Day by eight strokes.
McIlroy was also sensational at the beginning of the 2019-20 season, finishing fifth or better in his first six starts. However, McIlroy has seen a dramatic drop-off after the PGA Tour resumed play following the hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic. In fact, he has recorded just one top-10 finish since June and enters the 2020 U.S. Open having finished outside the top 30 in six of his last nine starts.
McIlroy’s inconsistent performances can be directly attributed to his inability to find the fairway off the tee. The four-time major champion finished last season ranked 155th in driving accuracy percentage (56.34), which doesn’t bode well for his chances to finish on top of the leaderboard at Winged Foot. He’s not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in this loaded U.S. Open 2020 field.
Another surprise: Daniel Berger, a massive 30-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. After recording three consecutive top-10 finishes before the PGA Tour shut down due to the coronavirus, Berger picked up right where he left off with a win the first week after the restart at the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Berger went on to record three more top-three finishes down the stretch and has only landed outside the top 25 once since February. Berger ranked 27th in strokes gained off the tee, so he has the length and accuracy to be a factor. He also ranked 17th in strokes gained putting, so he should be able to tame the lightning-fast greens at Winged Foot. The model is backing Berger as part of its 2020 U.S. Open bets.
