A distinct skill set is required to get around Pinehurst with success during the US Open.
Golf Channel's Brandel Chamblee noted that the previous three US Open winners at Pinehurst were top 10 in driving accuracy, scrambling and total putts.
Few golfers outside of pre-tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler rank high in all three of those categories going into the season's third major.
However, that is a good baseline to pick sleepers who are in or close to the top 10 in all of those categories on the PGA Tour.
Of course, that is not the only set of guidelines you should follow when betting the US Open, but that is a good place to start if you prefer to take a shot on a sleeper pick.
