The Open Championship 2018 odds


WITH the weather seemingly set fair for the full four days, it's a wide open race to see who triumphs come Sunday evening.


World number one Dustin Johnson remains the bookies favourite at 12/1, but his last four appearances in The Open have been T12, T49, T9 and T54.



And Spieth is hoping to do what Padraig Harrington did a decade ago and record back-to-back Open wins.

He's 22/1 to do just that - but despite a decent effort in the Masters has struggled with his usually trusty putter this year.


The European challenge looks set to come from Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy, whilst the talented Jon Rahm is an 18/1 shot to pick up his first Major title.


And a quick mention for Tiger Woods, who returns to The Open for the first time since missing the cut in 2015.
