Rory McIlroy One of the Favorites at the British Open
3 years agoRory McIlroy is coming in third or fourth in most oddsmaker books this weekend at the British Open. 15 to 1 odds is reasonable under the circumstances. He hits the ball further than most everyone at just over 318 yards a drive. His tee-to-green game is still one of the best in the world. McIlroy's accuracy is below average when it comes to driver accuracy but he is still rather good at links golf. The putter failed him during the US Open but he still finished well in the top-ten at seventh. Being close to home should be more helpful and McIlroy should feed off the crowd. Expect a rather good showing after being off for the last several weeks at Royal St. George's. He may even be one to bet on.
