Scheffler enters the US Open as the most dominant ball-striker since the prime era of Tiger Woods. His performance on long, difficult tracks aligns perfectly with the typical USGA setup which penalizes poor driving and approach play. While the odds are short for a golf outright, his statistical floor is significantly higher than the field, making him a value play even at this price. Recent victories have stabilized his putting stroke, which was previously his only notable weakness. Expect his elite iron play to mitigate the difficulty of firm, fast greens.
