Liking Russell Knox as US open sleeper and planning to play him to win and also finish top 10. He hits fairways and greens in regulation which is critical on this particular course this year where plus score will likely win title. I can't find any odds out there for him on US Open though. He must of qualified to play the U.S. Open though based on his high ranking, right?

On Tuesday (5.24.16), 27 additional golfers, including U.S. Amateur champions Ryan Moore, Byeong Hun An and Matthew Fitzpatrick, have earned full exemptions into the 2016 U.S. Open Championship, to be played June 16-19 at Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club. These exemptions bring the number of fully exempt players to 78.
All 27 exemptions were awarded to players who earned a place in the top 60 of the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) as of Monday, May 23.
The other players who earned full exemptions through the current Official World Golf Ranking are: Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Rafael Cabrera Bello, Kevin Chappell, Jamie Donaldson, Sergio Garcia, Emiliano Grillo, James Hahn, Billy Horschel, Thongchai Jaidee, Smylie Kaufman, K.T. Kim, Chris Kirk, Patton Kizzire, Soren Kjeldsen, Russell Knox, Anirban Lahiri, Marc Leishman, David Lingmerth, Andy Sullivan, Justin Thomas, Jaco Van Zyl, Lee Westwood, Bernd Wiesberger and Chris Wood.
The winner of the European Tour BMW PGA Championship (May 26-29) will also earn an exemption. The number of fully exempt golfers may increase with the inclusion of the top 60 players from the OWGR as of Monday, June 13.
******************************************************
Until the latest additions, most of the available prices were getting "stale", and were rarely being updated except to shrink the odds on players demonstrating significant form. But I now see names gettting added to some of the overseas books, and detect some movement in some of the odds, and at the moment Russell Knox looks like he he will soon be available at prices of 60/1 or 66/1, unless he keeps threatening and his odds shorten.
