Scottie Scheffler held a five-stroke lead overnight Friday. He extended to a seven-stroke lead and moved into the back nine on Saturday; By the end of Saturday’s race, Scheffler’s lead had been reduced to three. The world No. 1 carded bogeys on three of his last five holes while Cameron Smith, recommended 14-1 in last night’s play, shot two shots to the back to end up at -6 and just three shots back the ladder .

Obviously there are few ways to fade the leader if you want to cash in on an outright winner in the game. We have good equity with Smith at 14-1 from Friday as he is now about 1/5 that price. Lowry (50-1), Thomas (14-1) and McIlroy (20-1) were on my pre-tournament outrights card, but they’re a long way from winning the Green Jacket at this point.
The “winner without Scheffler” market could be a target from a betting perspective if you are not already exposed to the futures markets (Smith lists this market at -220). If you want to deviate from the Aussie favorite in this market, Justin Thomas at 14-1, Rory McIlroy at 50-1 or Tommy Fleetwood at 100-1 seem the most potentially lucrative to have a low round tomorrow.
Probably the easiest way to get action going into Sunday’s finals is through the head-to-head matchup markets. Here are a few that interest me:
