00:00Keith, of our five betting favorites entering this tournament at the United States Open.

00:05John Rahm was the only guy in red figures yesterday.

00:09He was the round two favorite entering it, plus $5.50, a dollar in front of Scotty.

00:15Rahm, ever so slightly at 8-1 live right now on the FanDuel Sportsbook, is that betting favorite.

00:21But some well-known names still in the hunt.

00:24Victor Hovland, we have talked about, of course, Scotty Scheffler.

00:27He is one over right now.

00:29Brooks Koepka in the fold.

00:31How do you expect the big names to perform to finish out this Friday and enter the weekend at Oakmont?

00:37I love the position we're in with John Rahm.

00:39He was an early lean on the early line, you know, back on Wednesday.

00:42And he hit the ball fantastic yesterday.

00:45Number one off the tee.

00:46And we talked a ton about that, how you have to hit fairways.

00:48It's an absolute stripe show.

00:50And then he gained another two strokes on the field with his approach game.

00:53The ball striking is really, really good.

00:55And all that creativity I talked about around the greens, he's doing that as well.

01:00He's just come off the tougher nine.

01:01You watch.

01:02In the next two hours, he is going to bring that score back under par.

01:06He's going to be sitting under par.

01:07One of the few guys that will be there going into the weekend.

01:10And he won't have to worry about this afternoon.

01:12He'll be well-rested for moving day on Saturday.

01:14I love our ROM position.

01:16And you know what?

01:17If you're not in on it now, it's time to get in.

01:19Just like we hit J.J. Spawn yesterday, first-round leader coming out of this show.

01:23You want to get on.
