Francesco Molinari, Italy (125-1)
Molinari has been hit or miss this season, but he has hit rather well in some big tournaments with top-10 finishes at both the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship.
Too young to have played at Royal Troon the past couple of times it hosted the British Open, Molinari has played well at this tournament a couple of times the past three years. His best finish came in 2013 (ninth place), and he finished in 15th place two years ago.
Coming off an 8th place finish at the end of June at the Quicken Loans National, Molinari’s strong iron game should serve him well as he shoots for the pins on the big greens this weekend at Royal Troon.
