Why Aaron Rai's Nightmare Week Means Big Bucks
So, what's one of the key legs of this insane parlay? It’s backing Aaron Rai to miss the cut, priced at a sweet +120. Rai just snagged a major victory last month at the PGA Championship, but hold on a minute. That's his ONLY top 15 finish across 13 major championship starts! And he just missed the cut at the Canadian Open, which had a weaker field with only eight of the world's top 25 players competing.
Contrast that with the U.S. Open, where the entire top 25 in World Ranking are expected to compete. Outside of that recent PGA win, Rai has missed the cut in half of his last six individual events. His U.S. Open record isn't exactly stellar either, with one missed cut in three appearances, and finishes of 19th and 33rd place in the others. But here’s the real kicker: Rai's putter. It's his biggest weakness, ranking 153rd out of 160 golfers in overall putting average! At Shinnecock Hills, a course famous for its sloping, contoured greens with sharp run-offs, that weakness is going to be magnified big time. The model isn't shy either, giving him a 52% chance of missing the cut.
The U.S. Open tees off on Thursday from Shinnecock Hills, with big names like Scottie Scheffler (+550) and Rory McIlroy (+1200) leading the odds board. While everyone else chases favorites, this model points to a different kind of excitement. Whether you're tracking Xander Schauffele’s incredible streak of nine straight top 15s at this major, or betting on longest drives, the real action for us Emerald City fans might be watching how Rai fares. Get ready for some high-stakes golf, because if this model is right again, someone is about to get seriously rich!
