It'd been a wild first few days of the 2023 U.S. Open, and now it's time to strap in as we get ready for the final round to tee off at Los Angeles Country Club.
Rickie Fowler and Wyndham Clark are tied atop the leaderboard at 10-under par. Rory McIlroy sits third at 9-under and Scottie Scheffler sits in fourth at 7-under.
Let's take a look at the live odds to win heading into the final round and then I'll break down who I think is the best golfer to live bet before the leaders tee off.

U.S. Open Final Round prediction
According to the betting odds, this is largely a four man race between McIlroy, Fowler, Clark, and Scheffler.
In terms of a live bet, I'm going back the one of the four that has the longest odds. Give me Scheffler at +400.
Amongst those four golfers, Scheffler is gaining the most strokes on the field with his approach game. He's gaining +2.42 strokes per round with his approach, and the next closest of the top four golfers is Fowler at +1.9 per round.
He's also starting to figure out his putter. After some bad weeks with his putting, Scheffler is gaining +0.74 strokes per round on the field with his flat stick.
His ball striking has been out of this world and of the four golfers, he's the won who has the most recent experience winning big events on Sunday.
He's three strokes back, but that could but cut down in a hurry. I'll back him at +400.
Pick: Scottie Scheffler +400
