BRITISH OPEN

-

THE Open Championsh­ip gets under way in Scotland next Thursday, with the Ladbrokes betting market incredibly competitiv­e.

Dustin Johnson struggled at the British Open last year, but he is on top of the betting market at $13.

Jordan Spieth, Justin Rose, Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy are all on the second line of betting at $17, from Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas and Tommy Fleetwood at $21.

No Australian has won the tournament since Greg Norman in 1993 and the market suggests that drought will continue for another year. Jason Day is the most fancied Aussie at $26, while the consistent Marc Leishman is a touch of value at $41.

The out-of-form Adam Scott is an $81 outsider to claim a second Major.

One Ladbrokes punter keen on the chances of Webb Simpson has had $700 on the American at the odds of $151 to land a sixfigure collect.

 ??  ?? HIGH HOPES: Jason Day is rated best Aussie for the British Open, while Novak Djokovic is in the Wimbledon semi-finals.
