Taking a look at the live odds to win the 2024 U.S. Open after Round 2. Ludvig Aberg is set as the betting favorite, holding the solo lead ahead of Round 3.
We have storylines and surprises galore heading into the weekend. One result that nobody expected is that the world No. 1 golfer, Scottie Scheffler, was at risk of missing the cut when he tapped in for a par on his final hole of Friday's round, sitting at five-over par. He hasn't missed a cut since the FedEx St. Jude Championship in August of 2022. Luckily for him, a slew of bogeys by the afternoon group moved the cut from +4 to +5, allowing Scheffler to sneak inside the cut.
Ludvig Aberg is the live favorite at +330. If you translate those odds to implied probability, he has a 23.26% chance of winning his first career major.Am I a Xander Schauffele fan? Absolutely. Was he my pick to win the U.S. Open this week? Yes, he was. Even with those two claims being true, I still think he's the best live bet to win this week's major heading into the weekend.
His only downfall has been his driver, losing strokes both rounds off the tee. That's uncommon for the PGA Champion. He hasn't lost strokes off the tee at an event since the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February. That tells me there's a great chance he can figure out his driver over the weekend.
