Australian Adam Scott is now into $1.62 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to win this year’s British Open following another superb display in the third round which sees him enter Sunday with a four-stroke outright lead.
Scott (11-under) heads the market from Graeme McDowell (7-under) at $5.00, Tiger Woods (6-under) at $6.00 and the second round leader Brandt Snedeker (7-under) at $15.
“With the final round pin positions it’s going to be extremely hard for someone to shoot a really low score and challenge Scott, so one more solid round and the Claret Jug is his for the taking,” sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane said.
“Those who backed him at $34 at the start of the tournament would be feeling pretty happy with themselves now!”
