1.5pts EW Garcia 20/1 6 places 1/4 Ladbrokes. 1pt ew Koepka 33/1 10 places 1/5 Sky 1pt ew Kuchar 50/1 10 places 1/5 Sky 1pt ew Molinari 125/1 6 places 1/4 Ladbrokes Garcia has been in fantastic form this year with wins at the Masters and in Dubai and a string of other nice finishes. He loves the links and is 7th in event form over the last 5 years. Add that to his excellent current form (ranks 4th) he possibly should be favourite this week. Koepkas last start was a win at the US open on a links set up and has had a nice break since. He plays links well and was 10th on his last open start. Kuchar was 4th last week in the Scottish Open which will have set him up nicely. He ranks 8th in current form and has played well in Opens before and showed last week that links golf suits. Molinari last started at the French where he went off around 14/1. The same price as Rahm. Rahm went on to win and Molinari was T38TH. Molinari though is over 100 pts bigger in the betting this week which is an insult to his game and has has made his last 5 cuts in the open including a top 10. He was 6th in the players , second in the BWM PGA and plays really well in England. 125's is way too big.
