Now the third major of the golfing season, the US Open is rightfully regarded as arguably the most difficult of the four Majors to win, in terms of how difficult the course is set up.
The USGA has often been criticised for making some courses almost unplayable due to letting the rough grow much longer, shortening the width of fairways and similar, in order to make their test arguably the toughest in golf each year.
But every year, golfers respond and we crown one of them as the Champion, with last year seeing Matthew Fitzpatrick of England claim his maiden Major Championship win at Brookline in Massachusetts.
Lastly, we will bring you some of the good betting options and latest odds from bet365 Sport to win the US Open as well as our picks for the best value golfers to back in the win and each way markets.

But let’s firstly begin with a quick look back at the history of this famous golfing major.
The greatest number of wins achieved by a golfer in the US Open during their career is four and this has been achieved by four golfers.
The full list of multiple US Open winners is shown below:
Over the years, the US Open has been contested at 52 different courses, though predominantly these have been located in the Northeast and Midwest of the country.
The top ten venues for the US Open in terms of the number of times it has held the tournament is as follows:
This is the first time Los Angeles Country Club (LACC) has hosted the US Open and it is the third time in six years that the tournament has been contested in California.
For the 123rd US Open, the par 70 course will play at 7,423 yards.
The full list of holes and yardages are shown below:
The final six holes will provide a huge test for golfers as there are five holes over 492 yards, one well over 600 yards and only one par five amongst that run of holes.
Many of the top stars in World Golf will be in action at the event, including the vast majority of the top 100 golfers in the world today.
Top ranked Scottie Scheffler will lead a strong American challenge and there will be a number of players from the LIV Golf Tour that will take their place in the event including Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Talor Gooch and Cam Smith.
Previous US Open winners in the field this week include Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Gary Woodland, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick.
Alongside the top players in the world, there will be a number of qualifiers in the tournament who will reach the US Open through finishing high up enough in one of 13 Final Qualifying events taking place across the world in June (10 in the US, one each in Japan, Canada and the UK).
The biggest name absentee in the field is of course Tiger Woods, but there are a number of big names that won’t be playing in the US Open (unless they can qualify through the Final Qualifying rounds).
That includes: Will Zalatoris, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Graham McDowell, Webb Simpson, Paul Casey and Danny Willett.
The two previous Major winners this year will be amongst the favourites to do well at the US Open this year.
Jon Rahm of Spain, the current Masters Champion, is one of the shorter priced options at 8/1 with bet365 Sport, while the USPGA Champion of last month, Brooks Koepka is an 11/1 shot with bet365 too.
The only player at shorter odds than those two Major winners is current World Number 1 ranked Scottie Scheffler, who is the 15/2 favourite to win the tournament.
Rory McIlroy, a two-time winner of this tournament is a 9/1 chance, while defending Champion Matt Fitzpatrick is a 33/1 shot, along with former World No. 1 Dustin Johnson.
Let’s now take a look at some of the odds for the top players in the field:
