3M Open 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on July 19, 2022

The PGA Tour says goodbye to links golf for another season and the scrambling through weather, rough, and pot bunkers that make St. Andrews such a test. This week they say hello to the required long and accurate drives of the 3M Open in Blaine, Minnesota.

This is the fourth installment of this event as a post-Open Championship return to the States, and in each of the previous three years, it has featured longer and more accurate drives than nearly every other PGA Tour event.

Newly crowned Open champion Cameron Smith won’t be here as he celebrates his first ever win. But you will get to see, and possibly wager on, Open participants Hideki Matsuyama, Sungjae Im, and Tony Finau.

Favorites to Win 3M Open

Tony Finau (+1400)
Hideki Matsuyama (+1600)
Sungjae Im (+1600)
Maverick McNealy (+2200)
Adam Hadwin (+2500)
Cam Davis (+2500)
Davis Riley (+2500)
Sahith Theegala (+2500)
Cameron Tringale (+2800)
Adam Long (+3300)
Chez Reavie (+3300)
J.T. Poston (+3300)

Not surprising that the three men at the top of the 3M Open favorites board just played in Scotland. Tony Finau is the favorite, and he’s been in the top-30 in five of his last six starts; and in his final round at St. Andrews, he shot six-under par.

Hideki Matsuyama shot a final round 67 at St. Andrews and is coming back to the States, where he last finished fourth at the U.S. Open. His trip to Scotland wasn’t terribly fruitful, but he has four top-10 finishes in the United States this season.

Sungjae Im finished the Open T81 after missing the cut at both the Scottish Open and the U.S. Open. But right before that, he was T10 at the Memorial, and let’s not forget he was T8 at the Masters.

Longer Shots to Consider at 3M Open

Chris Gotterup (+4000) hasn’t played a lot this season – only six events – but he’s only missed two cuts, and he has a pair of top-10 finishes – T7 at the Puerto Rico Open and T4 at the John Deere Classic in early July.

Cameron Champ (+5000) has missed five straight cuts, including the John Deere Classic a couple of weeks ago. But he was T6 at the Mexico Open, he had that incredible T10 at the Masters, and Champ is the defending champ here at the 3M Open.

Brice Garnett hasn’t won on tour in four years, and he’s missed eight of his ten cuts. But you want to consider him because he’s paying +10000, and he’s played well in the three previous 3M Opens, finishing 16th last year with a final round 68.

The Open Championship 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on July 13, 2022

It’s The Open Championship, being contested for the 150th time in its storied history. It’s at the Old Course at St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf. What else do you need to know to get excited for this weekend in Scotland?

How about the return of Tiger Woods? Or a field that features former great champions, like Stewart Cink, David Duval, Ernie Els, Shane Lowry, and Phil Mickelson. In fact, a total of 18 former champions under the age of 60 are in the field, 40 of the top 50 on the World Golf Rankings are playing, and seven of the top-10 finishers from last year’s Open are here.

Favorites to win The Open Championship

Rory McIlroy (+900)
Xander Schauffele (+1400)
Jon Rahm (+1600)
Scottie Scheffler (+1600)
Jordan Spieth (+1600)
Matthew Fitzpatrick (+1800)
Justin Thomas (+1800)
Shane Lowry (+2000)
Cameron Smith (+2200)
Patrick Cantlay (+2200)
Collin Morikawa (+2500)
Will Zalatoris (+2500)

Rory McIlroy is the favorite as a past The Open Championship champion and someone with five top-fives in his Open career. Not only is he experienced on links golf courses, he’s coming in playing excellent golf, finishing in the top-10 in five of his last seven starts.

Xander Schauffele is the newest winner of the Scottish Open, following up his win at the Travelers. A third-straight win would be legendary, and especially with it coming at the Old Course in the Open Championship. His best finish in this event was T2 in 2018.

There is also Scottie Scheffler, the reigning Masters champion who finished T2 in the U.S. Open. Matthew Fitzpatrick is the U.S. Open champion, and he just finished T6 at the Scottish Open. Jordan Spieth won this event in 2017, was the runner-up last year, and he just finished T10 at the Scottish Open.

And let’s not overlook the defending champion at The Open Championship, Collin Morikawa, who finished fifth at the Masters this year.

Tiger Woods at St. Andrews

There is a very realistic chance that this will be the final time a competitive Tiger Woods tees it up at St. Andrews. He’s paying +6500, so just how competitive he’ll be remains to be seen. But he withdrew from the U.S. Open to protect his health for this tournament and this course. He won here in 2000 and 2005.

In the words of Woods, “I want to be able to give it at least one more run at a high level.”

He played at St. Andrews twice this weekend while other golfers played the Scottish Open, and twice he walked all 18 holes. His playing partner on Sunday, Justin Thomas, observed, “[Woods’] swing still looks as good as ever.”

The only real question about Woods at The Open Championship: will his leg hold up?

Pay Per Head Software

It is not too late for independent bookmakers to team up with a top pay per head software provider like WagerHome.com and take advantage of the great betting from Scotland this weekend.

Scottish Open 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on July 5, 2022

The golfing world is in Scotland for the Scottish Open 2022, before the eyes of the sports world turn to St. Andrews and the 150th edition of The Open Championship.

But before golf plays its final major of the season, the Renaissance Club hosts the Scottish Open for the fourth time in the tournament’s existence. And in the previous three outings, we have seen some very good scores come from the leaderboard, including a 22-under par from Bernd Wiesberger in 2019.

Favorites to Win the Scottish Open

Jon Rahm (+1200)
Justin Thomas (+1400)
Scottie Scheffler (+1400)
Xander Schauffele (+1800)
Matt Fitzpatrick (+2000)
Collin Morikawa (+2500)
Patrick Cantlay (+2500)
Cameron Smith (+2800)
Sam Burns (+2800)
Will Zalatoris (+2800)

This weekend’s tournament features 14 of the top 15 players in the world, and it’s one of the few co-sanctioned events between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, which contributes to being such a strong field just one week before The Open Championship.

As with most links courses in Scotland, the fairways are nice and wide, meaning that distance off the tee is more important than accuracy off the tee. The number one player in the world over his last 12 rounds in driving distance is Jon Rahm, who, not surprisingly, is the betting favorite here.

Getting close to the pins on approach, however, will prove to be difficult. Bunkers will be a factor, as will greens that feature a number of hills. And when it comes to strokes gained on approach, three of the top five golfers in the world over the last 12 rounds are on this Scottish Open favorites board.

Xander Schauffele is second in the world, Cameron Smith is third, and Sam Burns is fifth.

Recent U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick is also in the mix, and even though his best-ever Open finish was a T20 in 2019, the Englishman is back on his home island, and he has to be considered a top favorite.

Best Value Plays

A couple of DP World Tour players who you may not be familiar with highlight our best value plays of the weekend.

First is Ryan Fox, paying +4000. The New Zealander currently ranks fourth in the European Tour, and he was just the runner-up last week at the Irish Open, shooting a 64 on Sunday to take home the title.

Aaron Rai at +6600 is also someone worth a closer look. He was the winner at Scottish Open in 2020 on this course, and that was when the weather conditions were less than ideal. And when it comes to strokes gained on par 4’s between 450 and 500 yards – of which there are five on this course – Rai has been the best in the world over his last 12 rounds.

The Scottish Open this week, the British Open next week, and the NFL preseason is now just a month away. Now is the time for independent bookmakers to join forces with a top pay per head software provider like WagerHome.com.

John Deere Classic 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 28, 2022

As the golfing world continues its rift between the glitz of the Saudi-back LIV and the competitive golf of the PGA Tour, it’s nice to stop in the Midwest for the 50-year tradition of the John Deere Classic.

There is very little glitz or glamor to be found in Silvis, Illinois, located just a few miles from the Iowa border. This week there are very few of the top golfers in the field as they get ready for The Open Championship in two weeks in Scotland.

But as is also the tradition at the John Deere, there should be lots of birdies and negative numbers. In 2021 the average score was 69.5.

Favorites to Win John Deere Classic

Webb Simpson (+1400)
Adam Hadwin (+1800)
Sahith Theegala (+2500)
Charles Howell III (+2800)
Denny McCarthy (+2800)
Adam Long (+3300)
Brendon Todd (+3300)
Christiaan Bezuldenhout (+3300)
Jason Day (+3300)
Maverick McNealy (+3300)
Nick Hardy (+3300)
Patrick Rodgers (+3300)
Scott Stallings (+3300)

Webb Simpson continues to work his way back from an injured neck, and last week at the Travelers Championship, he almost made it happen. He shot 64-69-66-71, dropping to T13 because of his final round struggles.

He’s the best golfer in this field, and don’t be deterred by his lack of wins in 2022. He is almost ready to break out.

Speaking of breaking out, keep an eye on rookie Sahith Theegala. He now has 25 career events under his belt and has finished in the top 20 eight times, with a career-best T2 coming last week at the Travelers.

He also began the month of June with a T5 at the Memorial, and he is squarely in the mix to win the PGA Tour’s Rookie of the Year.

As you can see from the rest of the numbers on the top golfers in the field, with The Open Championship looming, this John Deere Classic field is wide open.

Longer Shots Worth a Look at John Deere Classic

Steve Stricker (+5000) played his best golf in previous years, but at the John Deere Classic, his best golf was often the very best in the field.

He won the John Deere Classic three straight times from 2009 to 2011, and he’s been in the top 10 in eight of 18 career starts at this event. This is his first start at any event in 11 months.

Christopher Gotterup (+8000) has been a birdie machine this season. The only problem is his consistency, which has kept him from doing any real leaderboard damage.

But he was T7 at the Puerto Rico Open and a T43 at the U.S. Open, which included a 69 in the second round, which showed just how good he could be.

Travelers Championship Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 21, 2022

Just because the US Open is now over doesn’t mean you should stop wagering on golf. Along with wagering on golf, now is the perfect time to start setting up your own Pay Per Head site using the tools from Wager Home.

WagerHome.com has all of the tools to get you set up when offering your own Pay Per Head site. Instead of waiting on someone else to offer betting on golf, you can set the odds yourself and begin making some money.

The LIV Golf Series has been pretty dominant in the news over the last few weeks, but the PGA Tour still had most of the action. This week it’s the Travelers Championship, and some of the best golfers in the world will be teeing it up.

There is still one major golf tournament on the yearly calendar, which will take place at the Open Championship. The top golfers in the world will try to stay on top of their game by winning this weekend and taking that momentum across the pond.

Travelers Championship Betting Odds

Here is a look at the updated betting odds to win the Travelers Championship, and these are the odds that you can offer for yourself with your own PPH site.

Scottie Scheffler +1100
Rory McIlroy +1100
Justin Thomas +1100
Patrick Cantlay +1400
Sam Burns +1900
Xander Schauffele +2100
Jordan Spieth +2200
Sungjae Im +3200
Tony Fina +3400
Keegan Bradley +3400
Joaquin Niemann +3500
Davis Riley +3600
Marc Leishman +4600
Mito Pereira +4600
Brooks Koepka +4800
Tommy Fleetwood +4800

You might as well get used to seeing Scottie Scheffler as one of the betting favorites every time he enters a golf tournament. Rory McIlroy is another name that keeps popping up, and he is playing some of the best golf of his career.

Justin Thomas won the PGA Championship in 2022, and he has also had some other close calls along the way. Thomas is in the mix at the Travelers as well, with odds set right behind the biggest names.

Not only are there some pretty clear betting favorites, but there are a ton of other golfers in the mix this weekend as well.

Pick to Win Travelers Championship

Betting on each golfer to win the Travelers Championship is always going to be a great way to bet on golf, and you should be offering this wager on your own. WagerHome.com can get you set up today, and then you can start accepting bets on all of the upcoming golf tournaments.

This tournament has so many big names that it won’t be easy when trying to make a betting pick or when offering betting to your customers. It’s always hard to bet against Scottie Scheffler, but another major champion will win this weekend.

Justin Thomas will be a popular name to bet on for the Open Championship, and he will come out on top this weekend. If you are setting up your own PPH site through WagerHome.com, don’t be surprised to see plenty of Justin Thomas bets this weekend.

US Open 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 14, 2022

When watching Phil Mickelson speak to the press on Monday, in the run up to the US Open 2022, last week’s words from Rory McIlroy were echoing through the room.

“Any decision that you make in your life that’s purely for money usually doesn’t end up going the right way. Money is a deciding factor in a lot of things in this world, but if it’s purely for money, it never seems to go the way you want it.”

Instead of answering questions about his quest to win the one major that has eluded him, Mickelson is answering questions about joining the Saudi Arabian-financed LIV.

And that will be the case for the dozen players who are at US Open 2022 this week, trying to win the top prize of the USGA, after spurning the PGA Tour for the lesser events of the LIV, but with bigger paydays.

Favorites to Win US Open 2022

Rory McIlroy (+1000)
Justin Thomas (+1100)
Scottie Scheffler (+1200)
Jon Rahm (+1400)
Cameron Smith (+1800)
Jordan Spieth (+2200)
Matthew Fitzpatrick (+2200)
Xander Schauffele (+2200)
Will Zalatoris (+2500)
Collin Morikawa (+2500)
Shane Lowry (+2500)
Patrick Cantlay (+2500)
Sam Burns (+2500)

Last year Jon Rahm was the favorite to win the US Open, and he did. So don’t shy away from Rory McIlroy because he’s the US Open 2022 favorite. He has the shortest odds, but if he wins, he wins.

And when he gets hot, he often stays hot. He was second at the Masters, eighth at the PGA, and he just won the Canadian Open.

Speaking of guys playing pretty good golf, how about Justin Thomas, the winner of the PGA Championship four weeks ago. He was also T8 at the Masters and third at last week’s Canadian Open.

Speaking of more guys playing pretty good golf, how about Scottie Scheffler, who has a commanding lead in the FedExCup Standings. The Masters champion has four wins this season, plus a second-place finish three weeks ago at the Charles Schwab, and he was T7 at last year’s US Open.

Best Value Bets

Billy Horschel is paying +4500 even though he just won the Memorial two weeks ago.

He was also a second-place finisher at the Zurich Classic in April. At the Arnold Palmer Invitational back in March, he finished T2. His best effort in the US Open was a T4 in 2013.

Justin Rose at +5000 at the US Open 2022 and is also worth a look. He finished the Canadian Open with a final round 60, and that included three bogeys.

Imagine what could have been. Not only is coming off a near historic round, he is a past US Open winner.

Pay Per Head Software

So much great betting this week with the US Open 2022, the Stanley Cup Finals, the NBA Finals, and the full schedule of Major League Baseball.

RBC Canadian Open 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 7, 2022

We are a week away from the U.S. Open. So to get themselves one final tuneup before the third major of the season, a large number of top golfers are meeting in Canada for the RBC Canadian Open – the first playing of this event since 2019.

The event in 2020 and 2021 was wiped out because of COVID-19.

Five of the world’s top nine players are in the field, as are both winners of the two majors already held this year – Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas.

Favorites to Win RBC Canadian Open

Scottie Scheffler (+800)
Justin Thomas (+900)
Rory McIlroy (+1000)
Cameron Smith (+1200)
Sam Burns (+1600)
Corey Conners (+2000)
Matt Fitzpatrick (+2000)
Shane Lowry (+2000)
Tony Finau (+2500)
Tyrrell Hatton (+2800)

Scottie Scheffler is having a 2022 for the ages, winning four of his last ten starts and only losing his last time out in an extra-hole playoff. He is the best golfer in the world, and even with short odds limiting a winning payout on Scheffler, he’s still worth it.

Justin Thomas is the PGA Champion who missed the cut his next time out. We’ll forgive that misstep, coming in the post-win glow on his major championship.

He is going to be in the mix this weekend at RBC Canadian Open because this course is made for a golfer like Thomas. He makes all the shots necessary to win here.

Rory McIlroy is the defending champion at this event, but as mentioned, that came three years ago and on an entirely different course. So his defending champion status is just in name only and doesn’t really carry an extra weight when handicapping the field. Him being Rory McIlroy, however, does carry weight.

At +1600, it’s a good idea to give Sam Burns an extra look. In the aforementioned Scottie Scheffler loss in a playoff, it was to Sam Burns.

Burns is currently ranked second in the FedEx Cup standings. Along with his win at Colonial, Burns was top-20 at the PGA, top-10 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a winner at the Valspar.

Betting a Canadian

It’s worth noting that a Canadian hasn’t won the RBC Canadian Open since 1954. Still, there are some Canadians who are worth a look if you want to bet on a longer shot.

Aaron Cockerill is having a great season on the DP World Tour, and even though this week’s tournament is his PGA Tour debut, he has the game to be in the mix on Sunday. He’s paying +20000 to take the W at the RBC Canadian Open.

Looking for someone a little more likely to be there at the end, Canadian Mackenzie Hughes is also worth a look. He’s twice finished in the top-15 and was in the hunt early at last week’s tournament. Hughes is paying +5000.

Pay Per Head Software

We are in the midst of the NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup Finals will be here soon, and the U.S. Open is just one week away.

The Memorial Tournament 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 31, 2022

Before we get into The Memorial Tournament 2022 betting preview, let’s take a look at what happened the previous week.

Another week and another tournament that needed more than 72 holes before we could name a champion. Scottie Scheffler battled his way down the stretch to force the playoff at Colonial, only to lose to Sam Burns on the first extra hole.

That exciting finish followed the exciting end to the PGA Championship, and it all sets us up for Jack Nicklaus’s tournament at The Memorial this weekend.

It’s not quite the field we had at the PGA, nor what we’ll see at the U.S. Open in a couple of weeks. But this is one of the bigger non-majors of the season, and many of the best golfers are in Ohio at Muirfield Village to tee it up.

Favorites to Win The Memorial

Jon Rahm (+1000)
Rory McIlroy (+1100)
Patrick Cantlay (+1600)
Xander Schauffele (+1800)
Collin Morikawa (+2000)
Jordan Spieth (+2000)
Cameron Smith (+2200)
Matt Fitzpatrick (+2500)
Shane Lowry (+2500)
Viktor Hovland (+2500)

Flashback to a year ago, and Jon Rahm is almost a certain winner as he mowed through the field through three rounds. Then he tested positive for COVID-19, and by rule, he was forced to withdraw. Patrick Cantlay went on to win at -13, while Rahm had to watch on television sporting his -18 through 54 holes.

Do you think Rahm is ready to get back after this course? You bet he is, and this is why he is one of the top bets to win The Memorial.

Rory McIlroy has yet to put together four great rounds in a row, but the flashes of the old Rory that we’ve seen over the last few weeks makes it seem like that complete tournament win is just around the corner. He has a pair of top-10s at The Memorial, but he has played better here than his final results would indicate.

In his last three tournaments, McIlroy was eighth at the PGA, fifth at the Wells Fargo Championship, and second at the Masters.

As mentioned above, Patrick Cantlay is the defending The Memorial Tournament champion here, even if his 2021 tournament win was tainted because of the forced withdrawal of Rahm. But he also won here in 2019, and he shot a -19 that year. There is no asterisk next to that victory.

Yes, he was atrocious at the PGA Championship, missing the cut at +11. But in his two tournaments before that, he was the winner in New Orleans and the runner-up at the RBC Heritage.

Pay Per Head Software

The U.S. Open is just a couple of weeks away, the NBA Finals tip off this week, and we’re in the Conference Finals for the Stanley Cup. All of that and nightly baseball is a lot for an independent bookmaker to keep on top of.

Charles Schwab Challenge Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 24, 2022

As some of the golf world collects its breath after a thrilling end to the PGA Championship last weekend, an invitation-only field will play Colonial this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Last week Jordan Spieth referred to the Charles Schwab Challenge course at Southern Hills as, “Colonial, just a little bit on steroids.” So presumably, this will be a more relaxed weekend. It’s also a weekend of golf that most of the Tour is familiar with, as this is the 75th tournament at Colonial – the longest-running PGA Tour event held at the same course.

Favorites to Win Charles Schwab Challenge

Justin Thomas (+1100)
Jordan Spieth (+1200)
Scottie Scheffler (+1200)
Collin Morikawa (+1800)
Will Zalatoris (+2000)
Viktor Hovland (+2200)
Max Homa (+2800)
Sam Burns (+2800)
Abraham Ancer (+3300)
Daniel Berger (+3300)
Sungjae Im (+3300)
Tony Finau (+3300)
Webb Simpson (+3300)

Apart from shooting a 58, there isn’t much Justin Thomas could do this weekend to top the weekend he just had. But if anyone can get back up and focused for a tournament as the newly minted PGA Champion, it’s a golfer like Thomas. He is the Charles Schwab Challenge favorite, and rightfully so.

Almost no one in the field knows this course better than Jordan Spieth, and no one who knows it well plays it better than him. He won Charles Schwab Challenge in 2016, and he’s been the runner-up at Colonial three other times. He’s also motivated after a disappointing weekend at Southern Hills.

It was unfortunate timing for Scottie Scheffler to show his mortality, but even after missing the cut last week, he is still the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world and a good bet to win every time he tees it up.

And yes, every tournament, we say, “Will Zalatoris is primed to get his first Tour victory this weekend,” and my how close we came to being right last weekend. He was just a playoff away from winning the PGA, and he is primed to get his first Tour victory this weekend. Really.

Best Value Bets

None of the above favorites will result in a big return for your risk, but Tommy Fleetwood would, at +4000. He’s never played Charles Schwab Challenge before, but he’s coming off a T5 at the PGA, and he was the co-leader on Sunday with a 67.

Mito Pereira is also paying +4000, and all eyes will be on him this week to see how he responds to losing the PGA Championship. His 72nd hole at the PGA wasn’t quite a Jean van de Velde-level meltdown, but losing a major tournament that you were poised to win can leave a mark.

Or, you can turn it into a positive. We shall see with Pereira.

Pay Per Head Software

Every weekend there is golf and NASCAR, the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs roll on, and the Major League Baseball season is now a quarter of the way over. So many sports to bet; independent bookmakers absolutely need a top pay per head software provider to help them stay on top of it all.

PGA Championship 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 17, 2022

Typically the winner of the PGA Championship isn’t a surprise. It’s generally someone playing very good golf leading into the tournament and someone who is highly ranked headed into the tournament. These are two of the reasons that what Phil Mickelson did at Kiawah Island in 2021 was so surprising. The +25000 longshot was T69 the week before his big triumph.

Even Collin Morikawa, who was only playing in his second-ever Major when he won in 2020, had a win at the Workday Charity Open just three weeks earlier.

This isn’t to say we should only focus on the favorites. Mickelson’s can happen. But the odds are good that Sunday’s eventual PGA Championship winner will be someone playing his best golf.

Favorites to win PGA Championship

Jon Rahm (+1200)
Scottie Scheffler (+1200)
Justin Thomas (+1400)
Rory McIlroy (+1400)
Collin Morikawa (+1800)
Jordan Spieth (+1800)
Cameron Smith (+2200)
Patrick Cantlay (+2200)
Dustin Johnson (+2500)
Viktor Hovland (+2500)
Xander Schauffele (+2500)

If you’re looking to wager on someone playing his top golf, Scottie Scheffler is as good a bet as there is in the field. He’s playing his best golf and the best golf of anyone on the planet. The Masters champion finished T8 at the PGA last year and a career-best T4 in 2020.

Jon Rahm recently lost his No. 1 ranking to Scheffler, but the reigning U.S. Open champion has yet to drop behind Scheffler on the odds board. His best-ever finish at the PGA was a T4 in 2018. He was T8 last year.

Among this top group, we also have former PGA Championship winners Justin Thomas (2017) and Rory McIlroy (2012 and 2014). As the defending PGA Championship champion last year, Morikawa finished T8.

Best Value Picks

Remove his Masters performances the last two years, and it’s easy to think of Brooks Koepka as one of the PGA Championship favorites here. He’s paying +4200 as a two-time PGA winner (2018 and 2019), and the two-time U.S. Open winner (2017 and 2018) was great at all of the Majors a year ago except for Augusta. He was T2 at the PGA, T4 at the U.S. Open and T6 at The Open Championship.

Corey Conners is also worth a look at +4500. His lone Tour win came at the Valero Texas Open in 2019, so he’s probably well off your radar. But last year, he finished T8 at the Masters, T17 at the PGA, and T15 at the Open Championship. He also just finished T6 at the Masters last month.
