Betting On The Scottish Open

Part of what makes The Scottish Open so intriguing is the layout of the golf course. The Renaissance Club is considered a faux links-style course according to Patrick McDonald

The different style has industry analysts suggesting the best way to bet on the Scottish Open is to look for dominant drivers and putters of the golf ball.

Combining the strokes gained statistics off the tee (OTT) and putting (PUTT) from both the PGA Tour’s and DP World Tour’s websites indicates that longshot Adrian Meronk (+8000) may be the best betting value this week.
