“Not a bad pick” – Paige Spiranac reveals her surprising pick for the US Open 2023
Paige Spiranac has made some interesting choices for this year's US Open, as the event is set to begin on Thursday, June 15.
Spiranac, who is the biggest golf influencer on social media, revealed her favorites to win the US Open in her latest video. However, there are several other points that she mentioned in her pre-event analysis.
Spiranac feels those who did well at the Riviera Country Club will have a good week at the LACC as well, given both golf courses were designed by George Thomas. She said:
"So, look for players who played well at Riviera, and they should have a good go at LACC."
Despite the length of the golf course, Spiranac said it won't take much time.
"It's a par 70 playing over 7400 yards," she said. "It's a beast of a golf course, but it won't play as long as it reads on the scorecard because of those firm, fast fairways. They have a lot of slope to them, but there is a par 3 that's 290 yards."
Although LACC is hosting the US Open for the first time, they've held the Walker Cup previously. As per Spiranac, the players on the US team that year will do well given their experience of the place.
She said:
"The US was victorious over Europe, and who was on that USA team? Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa, and Maverick McNealy. There's some good vibes on this golf course."
The 30-year-old golf celebrity has predicted one of Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, or Brooks Koepka to lift the trophy. However, she also shared one surprise pick.
"Another huge favorite is California boy Max Homa. He played well at Riviera, remember same course architect, and he shot a 61 at LACC before. Not a bad pick"
