Now that we have already covered the British Open favorites as well as longshots for Royal Liverpool, it is time to dive into the best bets to make you some coin this week.

Make Cut Parlay: Xander Schauffele and Adam Scott (-125 via Fanduel)

The cut for the Open Championship is top 70 and ties, which is slightly larger than what we see with 65 and ties most weeks on the PGA Tour. Xander has only missed the cut twice in his last 22 majors. The last cut Xander has missed in any tournament? How about the Masters…..in 2022! He has gone 15 months without a missed cut.

Adam Scott bogeyed his 36th hole last week to miss the cut by one shot, which is giving us a slightly reduced price on him this week. Scott is a superb ballstiker, who excels in links golf as he has made the cut in 16 of the last 18 Opens. Overall, he has only missed the cut seven times in his last 67 events.

Top 40: Alexander Bjork +175 and Ewen Ferguson +210 (Fanduel)

As mentioned in the longshots article, these are two players to watch this week. Bjork has finished 42nd or better in all 15 starts on the DP World Tour in 2023. Ferguson comes into this event hot with a fourth place and 12th place finish in his last two events on the DP World Tour. He also won the Boys Amateur at Hoylake in 2013.

Round 1 Matchup: Shane Lowry -135 over Bryson DeChambeau (DraftKings)

Lowry’s game is built for links golf as he tactically maneuvers his way around the course. Bryson is the complete opposite. Bryson’s bomb-and-gauge strategy may not work very well at Hoylake because of the punishment for errant shots with gorse, high fescue, and in-course out of bounds. Bryson plays more of an aerial game and at times can struggle with feel shots, especially around the greens. Lowry is the much more consistent player, much better links player, and comes into this event in much better form. Trust Lowry in round 1.
