Breaking down the odds and history of a hole in one being recorded at the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst.
There are only four men's major tournaments on the golf calendar each year so we have to make the most of each one.
The U.S. Open's turn is this week as the best golfers in the world will tee it up at Pinehurst No. 2. One of the most electric bets we can make for a big event like this is whether or not a golfer will record a hole in one. In this article, I'm going to break down the odds for one to occur this week as well as history of holes in one at Pinehurst No. 2.Yes +100Yes +750Pinehurst has hosted the U.S. Open three times and there's been two holes in one. Both occurred on the 9th hole.If there's going to be another ace at Pinehurst, the 9th hole makes the most sense.
The 15th hole is the other possibility. Playing at 197 yards, this hole may be a bit tougher to stick it close compared to the 9th, but if there's a favorable pin location in the center of the green, golfers will be aiming for the flag. We've seen a hole in one here each of the past two U.S. Opens hosted at Pinehurst. At +100 odds, I see no reason why we shouldn't bet the "yes" for one to be recorded again in 2024.Pick: Yes +100If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
