A fine player but has he improved enough to win a US Open?
Odds: [55.0]
Last five US Opens: -/18/mc/5/-
One of the most improved players this season, winning twice on the PGA Tour and building an ever-growing fanbase with his swashbuckling style. At first glance, Bubba might appear to be too much of a bomber to thrive in a US Open, but his record suggests otherwise. Watson showed early indications that there was more to his game than sheer power with fifth place at Oakmont in 2007, and he also made the top-20 on his last attempt two years ago. He's improved vastly since then, especially in terms of temperament under pressure.
