The men's and women's 2024 U.S. Opens are in the books and the Senior U.S. Open is up next.

This is the third of five senior majors this season. So far, Doug Barron won The Tradition and Richard Bland won the Senior PGA Championship. Bland heads into this week as the betting favorite to win back-to-back majors.

Wind could be a factor this week, which would undeniably make for an exciting event. If you want to make it even more exciting, you can place a few bets on who you think is going to win.

U.S. Senior Open picks to win

Padraig Harrington +750

The way to bet on the U.S. Senior Open is to take one of the top names on the list and then sprinkle on a dark horse as well. There's a solid chance the winner will come from one of Richard Bland, Steve Stricker, Lee Westwood or Padraig Harrington and I'm going to go ahead and pick the Irishman to win his second U.S. Senior Open.

Harrington makes a lot of sense this week. Not only did he win this tournament in 2022, but he's entering this year's edition of it in great form after winning last week's Dick's Open for his second Champions Tour win this season.

The 52-year-old has still been competing in a handful of PGA Tour and DP World Tour events which leads him to look to win every time he tees it up with the seniors. He's my favorite bet on the board at +750.

Mark Hensby +5000

Mark Hensby's game has been trending in the right direction and now seems like the perfect time to bet on him to win. His last two starts have resulted in finishes of T7 and T3 while also finishing inside the top 20 in five of his last six tournaments.

His ball striking continues to improve as well, entering this week ranking 11th on the Champions Tour in greens in regulation, hitting 73.89% of greens.

There's plenty of value on him at his price tag of 50-1 to win his first ever senior major.
