Sam Burns U.S. Open Prediction 2023

Sam Burns does not appear to be a contender if you consider his poor Par 4 efficiency ranking (118th 450-500 yards). He is very efficient with his irons on Par 3's, but Burns has missed the cut in three of his last five events. He did finish T6 in the Charles Schwab Challenge.

More 2023 U.S. Open betting content from The Duel:


Burns' Strokes Gained stats profile shows strength in Short Game and Putting (top-11) over his last 50 rounds, and he makes 90.5% of all putts within 10 feet to rank top-10. But his other strokes gained stats are outside the top 30 of the field. Burns is clearly capable, but his driving accuracy and approach play will likely let him down in the grind expected at LA Country Club.

Other prop bets offered on FanDuel Sportsbook include a tournament match where Burns (-128) is favored over Corey Conners (+100). That's a matchup opportunity to attack playing against Burns with Conners' accuracy, ball striking, tee-to-green game and approach play all much sharper.
