Best outright picks for 2024 British Open
Prop bet #1: Calling Collin
Collin Morikawa has been consistently knocking on the door in big-time events since finishing T3 at the Masters, showcasing elite form with five Top 5 finishes across his past nine tournaments. Just as solid is that his worst result during the heater was a T16 at the Wells Fargo Championship.
The two-time major champion is seventh in this field in both true strokes gained tee-to-green and putting, and he’s second in driving accuracy as well. Morikawa has also gained true strokes across the board in five consecutive events to reinforce just how tight his game is.
Pick: Collin Morikawa to win outright (+1,600 at bet365)
Prop bet #2: Finally Finau's time
The game has looked easy for Tony Finau of late. He’s rolled off three straight Top 10s in stacked-field events, including his impressive T3 showing in the U.S. Open, and he ranks fifth in true strokes gained tee-to-green, third in true strokes gained approach, and 15th in true strokes gained putting in this field during the run.
Additionally, one of his four Top 20s in six trips to the Open Championship came at Royal Troon with his T18 in 2016. A major championship is the next feather in Finau’s cap, and he’s playing the well-rounded game required to contend again this week.
Pick: Tony Finau to win outright (+5,000 at FanDuel, 0.25 units)
Prop bet #3: Aussie arrives in form
It took a huge break and a heroic finish from Robert MacIntyre to beat Adam Scott in the Genesis Scottish Open last week, and I’m anticipating the Aussie carding another solid four rounds at Royal Troon. Scott is notoriously streaky, and when his ball-striking is dialed and putts start falling, he’s still an elite talent with a winner’s swagger.
Scott's solo second last week was his best result of the season, and he finished fourth in true strokes gained off-the-tee, ninth in true strokes gained tee-to-green, and 10th in true strokes gained putting. His Open Championship experience will also serve him well, having played the weekend in 17 of 19 Opens with five Top 10 finishes.
Pick: Adam Scott to win outright (+7,000 at FanDuel, 0.25 units)
