Open Championship 2024

While I do bet outrights, finish position and more match-ups, I don’t always bet every player in my picks. But I do bet others that may be after I post and dig into more stats and other performance indicators and players. It may be due to low odds, adjusted odds and I missed best number, or just trying to find other options in finishing position, match-ups and props. As I’m able to dig deeper and research and handicap more, I add others, including match-ups. Time constraints factor in, along with odds and value, which you should always be shooting for in your pursuit of profit, fairways and greens.

Poor picks at the 2024 Open Championship. Here is my Final Round preview with adjusted odds and matchups in Forbes as Billy Horschel (-4) leads with 9 players under par and Xander Schauffele (-3) the favorite to win just ahead of Scottie Scheffler (-2). I of course have a pizza bet on Shane Lowry (45/1) to win, and he shoots 77 Saturday.

Update: What a final round (65) and back 9 for Xander Schauffele to win Open Championship. 0-1 matchups posted here VSZ, 1-2 on OSGA and a pair of final round matchup winners (2-0) in Forbes.
