Key recent results: T2 at PGA, defending U.S. Open champion.
Course/comp history: Powerful game made for tough rough and U.S. Open setups.

Why contend: Well-suited to tough test, proven major temperament, offers big place and each-way value [DataGolf, OddsChecker].


4 — Strategic Summary

The best value among favourites is Rory McIlroy at 11/1 — elite major form, balanced stats, and more experience than most.

For highest risk/highest reward, Min Woo Lee at 55/1 brings real each-way punch and a proven record in similar conditions.

Notable each-way or head-to-head plays: Xander Schauffele is ideal for each-way (top 5/8), and in matchups, Corey Conners could be a good head-to-head over Jordan Spieth, given recent form and accuracy trends [CBS, DataGolf, NYPost].
