The John Deere Classic last week was one for the history books. Davis Thompson made a record-breaking victory, finishing the tournament at a staggering 28-under par. It was a “Birdiefest” as the competitors tore the course to shreds, fueled by the soft conditions brought about by the rain. A total of 16 golfers reached an impressive 20-under or better. Our prediction on Thompson to win at +2200 came through, marking our seventh outright win of the season!
Now, all eyes are on the highly-anticipated Scottish Open, co-sanctioned by the PGA and DP World Tour. While Scottie Scheffler won’t be playing this week, the field remains as competitive as ever.
When analyzing the Renaissance Club, I took into account key metrics such as Driving Distance, Strokes Gained, Off the Tee, SG: Approach and more. According to these metrics, the favorite to win the Scottish Open is none other than Rory McIlroy, with odds at +850.
My betting model highlighted McIlroy, Xander Schaffuele, and Ludvig Aberg as the top three contenders. Ultimately, McIlroy stands out as the clear choice, especially since he was last year’s champion and excels in key areas.
The big question is whether McIlroy is ready to bring his A-game to the Scottish Open after his intense finish at the US Open. My bet is on a resounding yes. I fully expect McIlroy to put on another stellar performance, especially since he has a penchant for excelling at national opens.
