Tommy Fleetwood +4500 - shared co-leader honors last year in the 1st round with a 66 and in 2019 he finished T3 after the 1st Rd. At The Open he tends to have at least one good low round of the day amongst the field.
Viktor Hovland +5000 - He finished T3 in round 3 last year and he finished in the Top 5 in rounds 1-3 of the 2022 The Open. He can go low with the best of them any tike any day and has great track history at The Open Championship.
Cam Smith +6000 - In 2022 Open Championship winner scored 2 round lows of 64 en route to collecting Claret Jug. Over the last 36 rounds of golf amonsgt the field he as been the best in terms of SG on links courses.
Cam Young +6000 - He has the ability to score in bunches as he showed in 2022 at The Open when he scored a 64 and 65 and was sole 1st Rd leader.
Alex Noren +6000 - Has a "favorable" early tee time and when his putter is on which it usually is, he can be a birdie maker with the best of them. Let's see if he gives himself those opportunities. He's defintely a public favorite as most of people have him on their card so i've seen. He was 2 shots off the 1st Rd lead last year.
Wyndham Clark +6000 - Putter has been great the last two weeks and he fired a 62 in the final round of Genesis Scottish Open last week. Maybe theres something there coming...
Brian Harman +7000 - Your defending champion finished 1 shot off the 1st Rd lead last year and in 2021. He has fired off 2 rounds of 65 in the last 2/3 years at The Open. Great tournament history coming in.
Corey Conners +7500 - Has been lethal with his APP & ARG game which has been very consistent. Putting is always his knock, but if he can continue to dial in on the small greens here he will give himself opportunities. Putted great last week at Genesis Scottish Open.
Louis Oosthuizen +8000 - He was the 2010 winner at The Open Championship but this is a course he can make some noise still at even though its been some time. In 2021 at The Open he not only finished T3 overall but he was the sole 1st rd leader shooting a 64 and followed it up in 2nd rd shooting a 65. We were on him and CASHED our ticket in 2021.
Emiliano Grillo +20000 - He was your 1st rd co-leader last year shooting a 66. He also shot a 2nd round low of 64 in 2021 with the likes or Morikawa and Rahm.
Henrik Stenson +20000 - Your 2016 champion shot round lows of 63 and 65 at this SAME COURSE in en route to winning the Claret Jug. They haven't played at Royal Troon since. Why not him?
