Golf architect Rees Jones has earned the moniker "Open Doctor" for his work renovating U.S. Open venues like the South Course at Torrey Pines, which will host the 2021 U.S. Open beginning Thursday, June 17. Jones tinkered with the South Course leading up to the 2008 U.S. Open, which Tiger Woods famously won in a Monday playoff against Rocco Mediate. Jones, the son of famed course designer Robert Trent Jones, has redesigned seven U.S. Open venues to get them ready for America's national golf championship.

Jon Rahm, who is still looking for his first major championship, is the 10-1 favorite in the latest 2021 U.S. Open odds at William Hill Sportsbook. World No. 1 Dustin Johnson is 16-1, while defending champ Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka are 18-1 on the U.S. Open 2021 odds board. Before locking in your 2021 U.S. Open picks, be sure to see the 2021 U.S. Open predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

SportsLine's prediction model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been on fire since the return of the PGA Tour last June. In fact, it's up well over $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

At the Masters in April, McClure nailed Jon Rahm's (+250) top-five finish, as well as Corey Conners' (+550) top-10 showing. McClure's best bets netted over $450 at the Masters.

In addition, McClure was all over Daniel Berger's win at +1400 in his best bets at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February. McClure also nailed Viktor Hovland's (+2500) victory in the Mayakoba Golf Classic in December. That was one of many huge calls he's made in the past several months. He also finished profitable at the 2020 U.S. Open, nailing two of his best bets, including a +1100 top-five bet on Matthew Wolff.

This same model has also nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed its golf picks has seen massive returns.

Now that the 2021 U.S. Open field is taking shape, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected 2021 U.S. Open leaderboard.

The model's top 2021 U.S. Open predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the U.S. Open 2021: Jordan Spieth, a three-time major champion and one of the top Vegas favorites, struggles mightily and doesn't even crack the top 10. Spieth has seen an incredible resurgence in recent weeks, recording his 12th career victory at the Valero Texas Open and finishing in the top 10 in five of his last seven starts overall. However, the 2015 U.S. Open champion has not won a major since 2017 and currently ranks 176th in driving accuracy percentage (53.93) and 99th in greens in regulation percentage (64.84).

On the other hand, the model has taken into account that Rory McIlroy will enter the U.S. Open 2021 full of confidence. After missing the cut at the Players Championship and the Masters, McIlroy returned to the winner's circle with an impressive performance at the Wells Fargo Championship. In addition, the 19-time PGA Tour champion secured a third place finish at the Farmers Insurance Open in January, which was also played at Torrey Pines.

The SportsLine model has taken into account that Jon Rahm is arguably the most consistent golfer playing today heading into the U.S. Open 2021 and is also the best player on the planet yet to win a major. The third-ranked player in the world, Rahm was en route to a runaway victory at the Memorial Tournament when he was shockingly forced to withdraw due to a positive COVID-19 test. Rahm had a six-shot lead at the time and was on the verge of defending his Memorial title. Rahm has seen success at the South Course before, capturing the 2017 Farmers Insurance Open and finishing second there in 2020. He also has been close in the U.S. Open, tying for third in 2019 at Pebble Beach.

How to make 2021 U.S. Open picks

Among the options the model is touting is a long shot who comes in at well over 50-1 U.S. Open odds 2021. Pure ball-strikers who can putt well excel at Torrey Pines, and this sleeper fits the bill perfectly. Anyone who backs this underdog could cash in huge. You can only see who it is here. 

So who will win the U.S. Open 2021? And which long shot stuns the golfing world? Check out the odds below and then visit SportsLine to see the projected 2021 U.S. Open leaderboard, all from the model that's nailed six golf majors and is up well over $9,000 since the restart.
