Breaking down the two best matchup bets to place for the final round of the U.S. Open at Pinehurst, including Rory McIlroy vs. Patrick Cantlay.
to win his second career major, but there are more ways to bet on the fourth round than wagering on who will win the whole thing.
Additionally, we can place matchup bets, also known as 2-ball bets. These wagers are on a golfer to finish with a lower final round score than the golfer they're paired with. I'm targeting two matchup bets for Sunday's finale, including one of the intriguing showdown between Rory McIlroy and Patrick Cantlay.fading Tyrrell Hatton in Round 3, but we're going to go back to the well and try to do it again in Round 4.
Meanwhile, Tony Finau has been gaining 1.47 strokes per round with his irons per tournament, a much better sign for sustained success through Round 4. At plus-money, I'm going to support that line of thinking and take Finau to beat his playing partner in Hatton.Do you think there's a 67.21% chance Rory McIlroy will finish with a lower score than Patrick Cantlay on Sunday? I certainly don't. I won't argue McIlroy won't or can't go lower, but -205 odds is too steep of a price for a golfer who has been inconsistent at majors for a decade.
Cantlay has also been the better ball striker this event, outgaining McIlroy in strokes gained: approach, +1.25 to +1.00 per round. If you ask me who I'd rather take between the better driver and the golfer with the better iron and short game, I'm going to take the latter every single time, especially when they're available at +170 odds.Originally from Nova Scotia, Iain MacMillan is a senior editor covering betting, with a focus on NFL, NHL, and golf.
