Rory McIlroy has drifted from 8/1 to 11/1 in the US Open betting market ahead of the tournament's start on 12 June.

McIlroy began the year by finally completing a career Grand Slam with victory at the Masters in Augusta but followed it up with a T47 finish at last month's PGA Championship.

Scottie Scheffler, who won the PGA Championship, is the favourite for this week's US Open but the biggest mover in the market is Ludvig Aberg who has shortened from 25/1 to 20/1 and is joint-fifth in the market.

  • Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Following his first missed cut of the season at the RBC Canadian Open, Rory McIlroy has drifted in the US Open outright market from 8/1 to 11/1, behind favourite Scottie Scheffler (13/5) and defending champion Bryson DeChambeau (7/1).

    “While McIlroy has drifted, others in the market have shortened — we’ve seen some late support come in for Ludvig Aberg, who we’ve cut to 20/1 from 25/1.

    “Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele remain steady in the betting, priced 11/1 and 20/1 respectively. Further down the market, the British trio of Tommy Fleetwood (30/1), Justin Rose (70/1) and Robert MacIntyre (70/1) have been popular picks among punters before play gets underway at Oakmont Country Club.”
