Martin Kaymer (40-1) is not getting much respect from those who have done much of the early wagering on the U.S. Open even though he is the defending champion.

Kaymer won last year's event at Pinehurst, North Carolina, by eight strokes, and he says the key was maintaining his concentration. “I was focused so much on myself, on getting the job done mentally," Kaymer told E...
