The British Open is here, starting on Thursday at Royal Liverpool in Hoylake, England. Rory McIlroy won this championship the last time it was held at this venue (2014) and he has put himself in great position to do so again following his triumph at the Scottish Open this past week. Of course, McIlroy will have plenty of competition in the form of Scottie Scheffler (the favorite at +700), Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka and more.
It's time to dive into some of the best 2-ball bets for the first round of the season's final major, but also check out Diane Knox Balas’ British Open best outright bets in addition to her favorite prop plays.
