Betting Outright & Trios Based On Fit At The Old Course

• Betting on the Open Championship based on each golfer’s fit to Old Course reveals that Bryson DeChambeau(+10000) may be the best bet to win the Claret Jug.
• The only other golfer within one of DeChambeau on the fit scale is Dean Burmester, whose +20000 odds are even longer than Bryson’s.
• Comparing each golfer’s fit on the Old Course to their competitors in the three-ball betting indicates that bets on Wyndham Clark(+160) and Cameron Young(+150) are safe bets.

ST ANDREWS, Scotland – The Open Championship marks the last major of the year, and online sportsbooks have been sure to provide a wide range of betting odds to end the major season strong.

Multiplying the importance of the key statistics by each golfer’s performance over their last 50 rounds creates a ranking system that highlights golfers that are particularly elite with the driver.

Ranking Golfers Based On Fit

Golfer	Outright Odds To Win	Fit
Bryson DeChambeau	+10000	12.62
Dean Burmester	+20000	11.98
Rory McIlroy	+1000	11.32
Cameron Young	+15000	10.47
Trey Mullinax	+25000	9.59

Based on fit alone, Bryson DeChambeau and his +10000 sports betting odds appear to be the clear best bet of the Open Championship. The only golfer within one point on the strokes gained relative to fit scale would be Dean Burmester who also has extremely long odds at +20000.

Of course, it can be very risky to bet on golfers strictly based on fit, but when narrowing the field down a bit it can be quite useful. That usefulness proves true when looking at alternative betting styles.

Betting On Trios

Amongst the most favored styles of bets is betting on a golfer to win out of a group of three. That style is called 3 Balls, and the most popular golf odds for that are out for the first round specifically.

Some of the golfers with the biggest leads over the other two members of their trio are listed below.

Trio Of Golfers	Leader(Odds)	Lead
T. Gooch / S. Norris / W. Clark	Wyndham Clark(+160)	12.32101
C. Young / K. Lee / R. Macintyre	Cameron Young(+150)	9.320751904
M. Calcavecchia / R. Fox / J. Morgan	Ryan Fox(-180)	8.926294
C. Morikawa / R. McIlroy / X. Schauffele	Rory McIlroy(+135)	8.692262141
D. Frittelli / T. Mullinax / M. Jordan	Trey Mullinax(+210)	7.325824194

Those leads were calculated by subtracting the leader’s fit by the golfer with the second-highest fit score in their group. That is one of the main reasons for Wyndham Clark’s huge advantage over his group, which could pay off with +160 odds.

Clark rated as the eighth-best fit in the entire field for the British Open, but his trio partners of Shaun Norris(124th) and Talor Gooch(106th) best fit for the course. Both Norris and Gooch had a negative fit rating for the Old Course.
