| [GLF] The Open Championship Top-20 Finish Time: 6:00 AM EDT | Collin Morikawa Top-20 Finish (-140) |
| Analysis: The Open Championship Top-20 Finish BetMGM, or any book offering ‘Including Ties’ to avoid the Dead Heat Rule chop. Morikawa has a mixed bag of results in this Championship. He won in his debut in 2021 (and is the exception to the winner trends of having a previous Top-20) but missed the cut in of the last two editions. However, he looks ready to bounce back into contention at this Championship on the heels of a strong T4 finish last week at the Scottish Open. In fact, since the Masters, where he finished T3, Morikawa has rivaled the runs of Scheffler, Rory or Xander, minus the wins with nine straight Top-16 finishes sans the Zurich Classic partners event where he finished T23. The most promising thing from his current run is that he gained strokes putting in eight of those nine events, formerly his weakest stat line. He also didn’t have the best short game and has had a similar run gaining strokes around the green in eight of his last nine starts. Morikawa’s ball-striking and accuracy will help him a ton this week and his lack of distance is unlikely to hurt him. Expect another solid four days and high finish with a chance to win on Sunday.
