Brandel Chamblee makes bold Scottie Scheffler prediction for the US Open 2025

Golf analyst Brandel Chamblee recently predicted the winner of the upcoming US Open. When Luke Walker posted a question on X asking Chamblee what the winning score would be at the 2025 US Open at Oakmont, Chamblee responded with just five words.

Luke Walker shared an X post on June 3, writing:

"@chambleebrandel, what do you think the winning score will be at Oakmont?"

To that, Chamblee simply replied in a post he shared on the same day:

"Whatever Scottie Scheffler shoots."

With over 16k views at the time of writing this, this X post went viral among golf enthusiasts. However, it's hard to argue with Chamblee's prediction. Scottie Scheffler has been the most dominant force in the 2025 season. Recently, Scheffler became the first player since Tiger Woods to win the Memorial tournament in back-to-back years, and he has already made $14.5 million for the season. Scottie Scheffler's putting has also improved significantly under coach Phil Kenyon.

Meanwhile, the US Open returns to Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. Scheffler missed the cut there in 2016 as a 19-year-old amateur. Early betting markets are also favoring Chamblee's take. Scheffler holds the shortest odds to win at +350, ahead of Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka. With that, let's look at the players who qualified for the 2025 US Open.
