Golf fans can rejoice as the LPGA Tour presents the golf betting community with the 2020 U.S. Open. Let’s take a look at my favorite prop bets for this prestigious event.

This week, a loaded field of talented golfers will arrive in Texas to compete for the year’s final major championship. The 2020 Women’s U.S. Open will take place at the Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas. The USGA traditionally presents the field of players with a very difficult test. I am sure that this year will be no different. Who will hold the winner’s trophy on Sunday? Who is a lock for a top 10 finish? Let’s dive into my favorite prop bets for the 2020 Women’s U.S. Open!

To Win: Lydia Ko +2800

The 23 year old has arguably been the most consistent golfer on the LPGA Tour this season. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at the data. Ko has played 11 tournaments this season. In those 11 events just mentioned, Ko has nine top 28 finishes, including a fourth place result at the Pelican Women’s Championship last month.

Lydia Ko knows what it’s like to feel the pressure of contending in a major championship. How do I know that? I know that because she has two wins at major championships. She won the 2015 Evian Championship and the 2016 ANA Inspiration.

I also like the fact that Ko has previously shown that she can perform under the bright lights of a  Women’s U.S. Open. Ko finished third at the 2016 Women’s U.S. Open.

Top Five Finish: So Yeon Ryu +550

The South Korean has two second place finishes in her last three events on the LPGA Tour, including a second place result at the ISPS Handa Vic Open.

It has to be mentioned that So Yeon Ryu has a long history of producing outstanding results at the Women’s United States Open. Why do I say that you may ask? Well, let’s just say she has owned this event over the last decade. Since 2011, Ryu has six top five finishes at the Women’s U.S. Open, including a win in 2011.

Top Ten Finish: Lexi Thompson +450

The American has six top 27 finishes on the LPGA Tour this season, including a fourth place result at the ANA Inspiration in October. Additionally, Thompson finished second at the 2019 Women’s U.S. Open.

Thompson is currently ranked sixth in GIR (greens in regulation-72.22%), fifth in average driving distance (271.74), and tenth in scoring average (70.49) on the LPGA Tour.

Top Ten Finish: Charley Hull +550

The 24 year old has two consecutive top seven finishes on the LPGA Tour, including a sixth place finish at the Volunteers of America Classic last week. Hull also has two consecutive top 16 finishes at the Women’s U.S. Open, including a tenth place result in 2018.

Good luck with your prop bets and enjoy watching the Women’s U.S. Open!
