With all of that in mind who should we be keeping an extra eye on this week? Let’s break it down.
2018 The Open Championship Favorites:
Dustin Johnson +1200
Dustin Johnson is the favorite to win it all this year which isn’t surprising because he has had himself a nice little season this year.
He has two wins this year, and he really should have had three in the US Open if it wasn’t for a really bad third round.
It’s very odd that a favorite wins this tournament, but even at this price Johnson is very hard to ignore this year.

Justin Rose +1600
Justin Rose comes into this tournament with the second best odds and it’s not much of a surprise because he will be a fan favorite during this tournament.
He has had success during The Open Championship before, but I don’t think he will do great this weekend. Stay away from Mr. Rose.
2018 The Open Championship Contenders:
Tommy Fleetwood +2200
Tommy Fleetwood had a coming out party at the US Open finishing in second place, but he is well known overseas and will also be a popular guy out on the course this weekend.
He is currently 7th in the PGA in scoring average, and the expecations are high for what he will be able to do this weekend.
At this price I really like him.
Francesco Molinari +3300
Francesco Molinari is turning into a star on the PGA Tour and is currently the hottest golfer on it. In his last five starts he has two wins and tied for second twice.
At +3300 he is also a really hard name to ignore.

2018 The Open Championship Sleeper (+4000 or higher):
Jason Dufner +25000
A sleeper needs to make the Cut and that is exactly what Jason Dufner has down at the Open Championship. Each of his last six starts he has made the cut.
He still has some good golf in him, and he is hard to ignore as a sleeper at +25000.
2018 The Open Championship Picks:
The guy I do really like is – Tommy Fleetwod to have a nice tournament and end up on top on Sunday Afternoon.
He will win his first major on European soil
