Breaking down the odds to be the first round leader as well as the best bet to place for this week's Scottish Open.
The Genesis Scottish Open has become a staple on the golf calendar in recent years as some of the best golfers on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour try to dial in their swings ahead of the final major of the year, the British Open.If you don't have the patience to wait all four rounds to see if your bet is a winner, or if you just want Thursday's round to be a little more exciting, consider betting on who will be the first round leader.
Let's take a look at the odds and then I'll break down why I'm targeting Thomas Detry to be Thursday's leader.Thomas Detry is a name that's flying under the radar this week. He's already performed well in majors this year, finishing T4 at the PGA Championship and T14 at the U.S. Open, so he knows how to play well in strong fields. On top of that, he has a T10 finish here at the Scottish Open back in 2022.
Detry hasn't played much in Europe this season, but he's averaging 68.88 across eight rounds on the DP World Tour, the best mark amongst all golfers who have competed on the tour in 2024. Finally, as a cherry on top, Detry ranks 25th on the PGA Tour this season in first-round scoring average at 69.50. That mark is tied with his second round scoring average for his best rounds. He tends to fall off on the weekends, averaging a score of 70.69 on Saturdays and a 70.91 on Sundays. That gives us the green light to back Detry on Thursday's opening round this week.If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
