McIlroy hasn’t produced a tournament victory of note in quite some time, but he has shown flashes of real brilliance lately. A number of popular players have beaten him to the punch on the big stage recently and he might be looking to set up for a big statement here at Royal St George. 

The big story coming from opening day of the Open Championship is likely to be the low scores that a number of players are able to post. During the action, commentators could be heard openly discussing the all-time lowest round at Royal St George with Nick Faldo and the legendary Payne Stewart. 

Dustin Johnson is always one to watch as well and the American wouldn’t surprise anybody if he was to wind up being the one lifting the trophy at the end of the tournament. The bookmakers have him listed around a 25/1 price tag and he will be wrapping up his day’s play with a decent score and the rest of the weekend looming large. 

Brooks Koepka is always one to keep your eye on in tournaments like this and the bookmakers have him floated anywhere between 18/1 and a 25/1 listing at the time of this writing. 

There are several other notables in the mix including Justin Thomas at 28/1, Stewart Cink at 33/1 and the ever-present Jon Rahm available anywhere around 33s all the way up to 40/1.
