Jon Rahm has been a popular favourite for this week’s US Open, with the gap in the betting widening between the market leader and the rest of the field.

Sam Horsfield is an explosive young talent who won twice on the European Tour last summer – and the Manchester-born, Florida-based bomber must be sensing a wonderful opportunity to complete his hat-trick in the Scandinavian Mixed this week. This is an event featuring 78 men and 78 women, so Horsfield has only 77 of his […]
