Josh Schrock doubled down on Justin Rose at +8,500, forecasting at least one “old lion” to hang around at Oakmont—much like Jim Furyk’s T2 in 2016. Schrock feels Rose has put his Masters heartache behind him, and his seasoned game suits Western Pennsylvania’s demanding layout. With veteran grit and recent emotional reset, Schrock expects Rose to be firmly in the mix by Saturday, making the number attractive.

Josh Schrock backed Scottie Scheffler at +255, citing his recent win streak and the fact that the ‘ravioli injury’ rust is gone. Schrock expects Oakmont to reward conservative, disciplined play, an area where Scheffler rarely beats himself through compounding errors. To Schrock, fading the current world No. 1 in this spot felt like betting malpractice.

Josh Schrock took a vibes-based stab at Rickie Fowler at +14,000, conceding Fowler’s form has cratered since a March T18. The counterpoint: Fowler won the 2012 Wells Fargo, finished fourth here in 2019, and grabbed T5 at the 2017 PGA on this same property. Schrock argued that familiarity and positive memories could help resurrect Fowler’s iron play just in time to surprise the market.

Josh Schrock pivoted to Bryson DeChambeau at +1050 after initially eyeing Rory, noting Bryson has been a "fixture" on recent major leaderboards. Schrock believes Quail’s generous corridors reward his aggressive, cutting-corners style, and after coughing up leads in Miami, Augusta and Mexico before winning in Korea, he views Bryson as battle-hardened for another major bid.

Josh Schrock admitted he is betting Rickie Fowler at +14000 largely on vibes, but he still offered course-fit logic. Fowler has sputtered since a T18 at the Cognizant in March, yet Quail Hollow has been kind: a win at the 2012 Wells Fargo, 4th in 2019, and a T5 the last time the PGA visited in 2017. Schrock thinks the comfort factor could unlock Fowler’s best golf, making him a speculative outright and top-20 play for bettors chasing nostalgic upside.

Josh Schrock pivoted to Bryson DeChambeau at +1050 after initially eyeing Rory. Schrock noted Bryson had squandered chances in Miami, Augusta, and Mexico before breaking through in Korea, proving the form is real. He called Quail Hollow an ideal DeChambeau playground and emphasized Bryson's consistent major-championship presence over the past year. For a longer shot, Schrock also mentioned Shane Lowry at +5000.
