The Open Championship Betting Preview
Royal Troon hosts The Open Championship for the 10th time in its history with the last coming in 2016, won by Henrik Stenson at 20-under par. Prior to that, Todd Hamilton was the surprise winner in 2004, though at a much higher score of 10-under par.
While weather is usually the last thing we cover, it earns it spot near the top of the list as this is The Open Championship.
Temperatures look steady in the low to mid-60s all week with rain showers in the forecast at times, mostly over the weekend, but the big question is always the wind and the forecast looks like we will see steady Scotland winds all four days between 10-20 mph.
Certainly enough to calculate and pay attention to while slightly mishit shots will be penalized even more.
Strategy is the name of the game at these links courses as wayward shots into pot bunkers, deep rough and long fescue are often seen as immediate one-stroke penalties in which experienced players will be wise to take their medicine and minimize the damage when that happens.
Of course, nobody did it quite like Tiger Woods who hit one driver at Royal Hoylake to purposefully be short of, and then miss every bunker as his mid to long iron game was electric.
