Right now, finishing up the days action on the opening day of play, we have Justin Thomas having put in a real good performance to finish -5 after navigating some of the tricky greens on offer.
The bookmakers have him odds-on to finish as the top score for the day and he’s currently trading around a 4/1 price tag to lift the trophy at the end of the tournament. Jon Rahm has put in some solid performances this year and he’s priced to be competitive here.
Punters will find Jon Rahm trading around a 13/2 listing to secure the victory here and he’s just a couple of strokes behind Justin Thomas. Rory McIlroy is always a contender for every major championship and you’ll find him right in the mix here with a price of around 7/1 with several top bookmakers.
McIlroy is sitting at -3 following the first days play and could build on that tomorrow. He’s clearly in no danger of missing the cut and if he can hold his nerve, he has a lot of options going forward. Patrick Reed is available around a 12/1 margin and he’s right in the mix here - particularly if you back him on an each-way bet, since he’s more than likely to be right up there with the top finishers.
Other notables include the likes of Bryson DeChambeau at 16/1, Joaquin Niemann at a 20/1 margin and Thomas Pieters trading anywhere from 33/1 all the way up to 66/1.
