With the RBC Canadian Open in the rearview mirror, the golf world's attention is now officially turned to the U.S. Open.

One of the most prestigious events in golf, the U.S. Open has the ability to launch any golfer's career to new heights. Viktor Hovland has risen to become one of the game's elite players. All that's missing from the No. 5 ranked player in the world's resume is a major championship win.

Here's everything you need to know about Viktor Hovland's U.S. Open odds and history heading into the 2023 event.

Viktor Hovland U.S. Open Prediction 2023

Few golfers, if any, are playing better entering the U.S. Open than Viktor Hovland. He won the Memorial Tournament in a playoff to start June and also had stellar Stroked Gained Total stats when finishing second at last month's PGA Championship. His Tee-to-Green and Off-the-Tee stats remain elite as he's gained strokes in both in each of his last 10 stroke-play events this year.

Hovland also ranks top-5 in SG: Difficult Scoring Conditions, which is what the U.S. Open demands the most. He tops the field in Par 4 Efficiency from 450+ yards and is among the leaders in Proximity to Hole stats from 175 yards and 200+ yards, so he can handle any distance.

Still, will Hovland be able to repeat his best three putting weeks this year over the last three tournaments? He's a better putter on bentgrass greens, but his Around-the-Green stats are trending down with Hovland losing strokes ARG in 10 of his last 12 tournaments.

The 25-year-old four-time PGA Tour winner looks strong overall in stats, but the U.S. Open grind and mental game take their toll even on the game's best players. As such, a top-20 finish (-130) is our best bet here.
