Whoever comes out on top in the 2016 U.S. Open will have earned their trophy the hard way. 

The major will go back to Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, where even the most recent U.S. Open champion failed to score under par. Angel Cabrera won the tournament in 2007 at the course shooting five over par. 

According to Vegas, names such as Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Phil Mickelson are among the players with the best odds to win the tournament, per Odds Shark. 

However, there are a few under-the-radar sleepers who don't fall on this list but could be sneaky contenders come the weekend. Here's a look at a few players to keep an eye on as well as what their odds are, according to Odds Shark. 



 

Patrick Reed Odds: 50-1

The fact that Patrick Reed is such a long shot is kind of surprising. The 25-year-old has had a strong year in 2016 and appears primed to take the next step sometime soon. He leads the PGA in top-10 finishes with nine in the season and has two second-place finishes to his name. 

Missing the cut at The Players Championship is a concern, but he has bounced back since. He finished tied for eighth in the Memorial Tournament last time out and is third on the PGA Tour's U.S. Open Power Rankings. 

Will Gray of GolfChannel.com noted how well Reed has played of late:



Oakmont is a fairly unforgiving course, so scrambling will come into play. Few players have done that better than Reed this year. He ranks second in the stat on the tour. 

Reed's skill set and recent success make him a sleeper worth believing in. The only thing to worry about is a relative lack of success in majors. As good as Reed has been, his best finish at a major is 14th. However, that was at last year's U.S. Open, so this might be the tournament that sees him break through.
