It's moving day at the season's fourth and final major. Everyone's goal is to be in contention on Sunday with a major championship at stake, and by the end of the next 18 holes we will know who has achieved it and who has shot themselves out of the tournament. Through three rounds of this British Open, Cameron Smith, Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Dustin Johnson and Scottie Scheffler are among those very much still in it. Smith owns a two-stroke lead over Cameron Young, while McIlroy and Hovland are lurking in the second-to-last pairing.
What will transpire at St. Andrew's on Saturday? It's time take a look at the best 2-ball bets to be made for round three.
Friday could not have gone better for me. I cashed all three of my 3-ball bets – all well into plus money. Will Zalatoris (+170) defeated Tony Finau and Hideki Matsuyama; Lucas Herbert (+140) blew past Phil Mickelson and Kurt Kitayama; Adam Scott (+185) shot 7-under to beat Dustin Johnson and Marc Leishman. Let's keep the momentum going!
Will Zalatoris (-135) over Sergio Garcia
I went with Zalatoris on Friday and it was a smashing success, so I'm going right back to the well. The 25-year-old American is making his British Open debut, so it's no surprise that some experience helped him improve dramatically from round one to round two. A Friday 67 means Zalatoris has a chance to finish in the top 10 for the seventh time in his the span of eight major appearances. Garcia shot 66 in the second round, but that was preceded by a 75. Given the Spaniard's overall current form (not great!), I expect him to be closer to Thursday's score than Friday's when he tees it up on moving day.
