Jordan Spieth is 2-for-2 when it comes to golf majors this season after winning the U.S. Open on June 21.
But when the early odds for the next major — the British Open — were released by the sportsbooks, Spieth wasn’t given the best chances. That went to world’s No. 1 Rory McIlory, who came in at 4/1. Spieth is right behind him at 6/1. McIlroy won last year’s Open Championship.
Dustin Johnson, who 3-putted his way out of the U.S. Open title on the 72nd hole, has 12/1 odds for the 144th Open, which will be played on the Old Course at St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland.
St. Andrews hosted the 2010 major and it was won by Louis Oosthuizen. The South African has 25/1 odds after finishing tied for 2nd over the weekend at Chambers Bay.
The Open Championship is set for July 16-19.
