Top-ranked Gordon Sargent will likely draw the most betting traffic of all the amateurs as the most experienced. He has the shortest US Open odds of any amateur at +40000 thanks to a T-39 finish at the 2023 U.S. Open.

Sargent has three other PGA Tour events under his belt, including a missed cut at the Masters Tournament in 2023. He has +275 odds to finish top 40 at the US Open for a second consecutive year.
