Are bettors enticed by Cam Youngโ€™s British Open performance ahead of the PGA Tour's Rocket Mortgage Classic?

Young finished second at the British Open to Cam Smith after eagling the final hole. Heโ€™s the No. 4 favorite ahead of this weekendโ€™s tournament in Detroit at +1800 and the preferred choice of bettors entering the event. Young is getting nearly 13% of bets and those bets make up just less than 18% of the total money wagered on the winner of the tournament.

Will Zalatoris is the No. 3 favorite at +1600 and is right behind Young as the second choice of bettors. Zalatoris is getting 12.3% of bets and just over 17% of the money wagered on the winner. Zalatoris wasnโ€™t a factor at the end of the British Open but was in a playoff to win the PGA Championship and a putt away from a U.S. Open playoff.

Patrick Cantlay enters the tournament as the favorite at +1000 while 3M Open winner Tony Finau is the second favorite at +1600. Finau easily won last weekโ€™s tournament after third-round leader Scott Piercy had a terrible final round.

Cantlay is +200 to finish in the top five and -110 to finish in the top 10. Heโ€™s the only golfer with worse than even odds to finish in the top 10 while Finau is at +275 to get a top five and +130 to get a top 10.

Seven of the top nine favorites to win the tournament are Americans, so Cantlayโ€™s odds of being the top finisher from the United States are only slightly better than his odds to win the tournament at +850. Finau and Zalatoris are both at +1200 to be the top American while Young is at +1600.

Adam Hadwin (+4000 to win) is the favorite to be the top Canadian at +250 while Cam Davis (+3300) is the favorite to be the top Australian at +175.
