00:00At any time that Scotty Scheffler is in the field at any PGA Tour event,

00:04certainly at major championships, his price is going to be incredibly short.

00:08That is the case this week, plus $2.80.

00:11It is more than $4 shorter than anybody else on this list.

00:17Scheffler plus $2.80, the reigning United States Open champ Bryson DeChambeau,

00:22who won last year at Pinehurst, a 7-1 number.

00:26And Rory McIlroy, who completed the career Grand Slam earlier in the year at Augusta,

00:31a 12-1 number alongside Jon Rahm.

00:34Yeah, it's good stuff here.

00:35I mean, the superstars come out for the big events and none bigger, obviously,

00:38than the U.S. Open here.

00:39It should be a great test of golf.

00:40But understand this, players that have won it in the past, that have won majors,

00:44they pop up on the leaderboard because it's, hey, anybody can, yeah,

00:47we understand anybody can win it.

00:49But my goodness, if you're in your spot for a first championship,

00:53it's probably not going to be the U.S. Open at that point

00:55because of how tough it is to handle the rough

00:57and handle all the pressure down the stretch it goes.

00:59But it just, it's wild.

01:00Like, we're going to talk about how tough this golf course is this week

01:03and the way it sets up, which means, Ben,

01:06you should have like 25 guys all stacked up on top of each other saying,

01:10well, I don't know who's going to win because of how hard that golf course is

01:13and how good these players are.

01:14And yet there's Scotty Scheffler in a U.S. Open at a plus 280 price

01:20and the next competitor is Bryson DeChambeau,

01:22who won it last year at a 7-1 price.

01:25It's always crazy.

01:26And then I say, well, all right, that's the price.

01:28I don't want to, well, who do you want to take outside of Scotty Scheffler

01:30when you know he's going to be there when it's all said and done

01:33with a legitimate chance to win this?

01:35But the price point, plus 280 in a major insanity,

01:40and probably Scotty Scheffler will win it again.
