Jeff Erickson, Jeff Ritter, and Scott Jenstad provide DFS and wagering advice for the 2021 U.S. Open, which will be played on the South Course at Torrey Pines Golf Club in sunny San Diego.

Do you have a shot this week if you don't hit it long? How does the reduced number of players making the cut affect roster construction? Do you discount Jon Rahm at all after his positive COVID-19 test? Can Jordan Spieth stick with the big drivers? Who has the best chance to win their first major this week? Do Garrick Higgo and Jason Kokrak stay hot? Which players under $8,000 will win someone a bunch of money in DFS contests? And among the names under $7,000, who has the best chance to play the weekend?
