2022 Open Results & Odds

Pre-tournament 25/1 chance Cameron Smith took the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews by one shot from Cameron Young.  Having led at the halfway stage, Smith fell back to four behind co-leaders Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland entering the final round, but an impressive 64 on Sunday gave the Australian victory and the Claret Jug.  Five birdies in-a-row to the start the back-nine put Smith into the lead over Rory McIlroy who despite a number of chances, only birdied two holes on a low-scoring day.  Playing impressive golf thoughout 2022, Smith started the year with victory in the Sentry Tournament of Champions (winning with a record breaking score of -34) along the Players Championship in March and the Open win confirmed as one of the most exciting young players in golf.

Starting as the 10/1 pre-tournament favourite, McIlroy entered the final-round as an Even money chance but 70 meant he finally finished in third, leap-frogged by Cameron Young on the last after the American eagled the final hole. Back in a tie for fourth was Viktor Hovland, who despite a poor final round showed improved 2022 form while Tommy Fleetwood had another solid major performance following a T5 at the PGA Championship and T14 at the Masters.  Back in a tie for sixth was big priced Brian Harman (175/1) and Dustin Johnson with DeChambeau, Spieth and Cantlay rounding out the top-10.  Of the leading dozen in the betting only defending champion Collin Morikawa missed the cut (by a shot) while Justin Rose withdrew from the tournament prior to his first round with a bad back.

2021 Open Results & Odds

Pre-tournament 35/1 chance Collin Morikawa took his second major title at the 2021 Open Championship at Royal St Georges. One shot behind leader Louis Oosthuizen going into the final round, Morikawa stamped his authority on the tournament approaching the turn - birdieing 7,8 & 9. The American eventually carding a bogey-free 66, to win the tournament by two-shots from Jordan Spieth and give Morikawa two majors in the space of less than a year.

Spieth who was 18/1 before the tournament, continued to show a resurgence in form but probably paid the price for a bogey-bogey finish to his third round. Back in a tie for third was the 8/1 pre-tournament favourite Jon Rahm, who struggled on the greens all week. Tied with Rahm was final-round leader Louis Oosthuizen (33/1) who completed an impressive major year which included seconds at the US Open and US PGA.

Further down in the E/W places were two big priced shots; 5th place Dylan Fritelli (275/1) and T6 Mackenzie Hughes (350/1) - both who had shown glimpses of form in recent majors (Fritelli a T5 in the November Masters & Hughes T15 in the 2021 US Open) Fancied Americans Brooks Koepka (16/1) and Dustin Johnson (22/1) both played their way out of the tournament with over-par third rounds but played strong final-rounds to eventually finish T6 & T8.

On a course which played relatively fair all week; Tyrrell Hatton (30/1), Patrick Cantlay (35/1) & Patrick Reed (40/1) were probably the most notable players to miss the cut while Will Zalatoris had to withdraw after the first round having injured himself playing out of the deep St Georges rough.

2019 Open Results & Odds

Shane Lowry made it a memorable tournament for the Irish with victory at the 2019 Open at Royal Portrush. Available pre-tournament at 70/1 to win on the Dunluce links, Lowry laid the foundations for victory with a course record 63 in the third-round. With a four-shot lead and bookmakers rating his chances at 1/2 for victory, the Irishman made it a relatively comfortable win in difficult conditions as he eventually took the title by six-shots.

Back in second was Lowry’s final day playing partner and closest pursuer, Tommy Fleetwood (pre-tournament 30/1) The Englishman initially cut the lead to three on the first hole, following a Lowry bogey but that was the closest Fleetwood got as he missed a number of chances on the front nine to close the gap. Tony Finau (80/1) was a never nearer third-place as he notched up another creditable major performance (5th Top 10 in the last eight majors) while Lee Westwood (110/1) made some ground on Lowry on the final day before falling back to a tie for fourth. Also in fourth was Brooks Koepka (11/1) who recorded his ‘worst’ major finish in his last five majors.

Tournament favourite Rory McIlroy (9/1) just came up short of the cut mark after a valiant effort (2nd round 65) to right a disastrous first round 79. Also narrowly missing the cut were two more home favourites in Padraig Harrington (250/1) and Darren Clarke (750/1) while Tiger Woods (20/1) struggled missing the cut by four.

The 2019 Open Championship lived up to expectations as the tournament made it's first trip over the Irish Sea since 1951.  Breaking the course record on the Saturday along with a solid final-day performance meant Shane Lowry was a well deserved Champion Golfer of 2019.

2018 Open Championship Results & Odds

Pre-tournament 33-1 chance, Francesco Molinari became the first Italian major winner with victory in the 2018 Open at Carnoustie.  Three shots off the lead going into the final round, while the field frittered away shots in the strong winds, Molinari characteristically played solid golf to par every hole until the 14th.  Birdies on 14 and 18 meant the Italian posted a score which proved beyond the final pairings and took the title by 2-shots.  Not unfancied in the betting having shown strong form on the PGA Tour including a decisive 8-shot victory at the Quicken Loans National - Molinari has progressed from a modest European Tour player to one of the top talents in the world and the title Champion Golfer of 2018 is well deserved.

American trio, Jordan Spieth (pre-tournament 22-1),  Xander Schauffele (110-1) and Kevin Kisner (250-1) tied the lead going into the final round but all struggled in the tougher conditions especially defending champion Spieth who failed to register a birdie in his final round 76.  Along with Schauffele and Kisner in a tie for second were Rory McIlroy (20-1), who made a late charge for he title and Justin Rose (16-1) scraping through the cut with a 10-foot putt on Friday, best of the weekend 64/69 propelled the Englishman up the field.  Tiger Woods (28-1) also made a push on the final day, in a tie for the lead heading in the back-nine, a double-bogey on 11 and bogey on 12 quickly dashed the chances of a 15th major.

Dustin Johnson, who led the betting as 12-1 favourite, struggled missing the cut, along with fancied players Justin Thomas (30-1), Sergio Garcia (35-1) and Jon Rahm (22-1) .  Despite a wet Friday morning and the windy Sunday, conditions were (in Open-terms) relatively benign although Carnoustie still showed her teeth with the winning score of -8 the highest to par since Phil Mickelson's victory in 2013 at Muirfield.
