U.S. Open 2025: Carlos Ortiz and Tyrrell Hatton in Striking Distance

Why this matters: The U.S. Open is a major opportunity for these players to solidify their careers. For Ortiz, a win would mark a historic moment as the first male Mexican golfer to win a major. For Hatton, it would cement his place among the top golfers from England.

Carlos Ortiz and Tyrrell Hatton have positioned themselves for a potential major win at the 2025 U.S. Open. Ortiz, representing Torque GC, showcased his improved form with a bogey-free performance through 17 holes, emphasizing his consistent iron play. Hatton, from Legion XIII, recovered from a double bogey with a strong finish, highlighting his improved driving accuracy.

Marc Leishman is also in contention, tied for 11th, seeking his first major win. A top-10 finish guarantees a spot in next year’s U.S. Open, and a top-4 finish includes exemption into next year’s Masters.

Ortiz’s recent form includes three wins, four top 10s this year, and a No. 7 ranking in the season-long points race. Hatton’s improved driving gives him a competitive edge. The challenging Oakmont course adds pressure, but history suggests that coming from behind is possible, with past winners overcoming deficits in the final round.
