It’s easy to look at the last two years of The Open Championship and conclude only the top few golfers can win it. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler won as the betting favorite at 6-1 last year at Royal Portrush, and Xander Schauffele — ranked No. 3 at the time — won at 12-1 in 2024 as the second favorite. So we should just take a top golfer this week, right?
