Scottish Open Predictions: 3 Underdog Picks for Thursday, July 10
The Scottish Open is officially upon us! This event is one of the biggest in the country, and one of five stops on the Rolex Series on the European Tour. Some of the most impressive names in the sport are taking part in this tournament, and we’ve got you covered with the best props from Underdog heading into the event.
We’re going to look at three golfers and put together our top picks on finishing position, hoping to hit it big over this four-day tournament. Let’s get into it!
Scottie Scheffler Finishing Position BETTER 10.5
Scottie Scheffler continues to be a freak of nature. He has nine straight tournaments with a top 10 finish or better, which includes three wins, including the PGA Championship.
There aren’t many people playing better golf than Scheffler at the moment, who has not quite achieved Tiger Woods’ levels of success, but he’s certainly getting close. This will be Scheffler’s third appearance in the Scottish Open, tying for third place in 2023 and missing the cut in 2022.
He’s a lot better than he was in 2022, of course, and with his recent track record, we just can’t bet against him at the moment.
Robert Macintyre Finishing Position BETTER 20.5 (1.12x Odds Boost!)
This line seems odd considering Robert Macintyre won the Scottish Open last year, but we’ll certainly take it, especially with Underdog giving us a 1.12x odds boost. It’s not a crazy boost by any means, but anything helps, especially in a three-plus person parlay.
Macintyre has not only won this tournament before, but he is also a Scottish local, which helps his case in many respects. Considering his familiarity with the course and his winning history, we’re more than confident in taking the better on his finishing position.
Corey Conners Finishing Position WORSE 20.5
Corey Conners hasn’t been playing the best golf lately. He withdrew from the U.S. Open, and finished outside of the top 20 in his two prior tournaments. There are a lot of good golfers teeing off at this event who have been playing much better, so we’re going to fade Conners as a result.
He has historically done well at this event, but we just can’t trust him with these recent struggles, so we believe he’ll finish worse than 21st this year.
