Brooks Koepka – +950 (19/2)

Koepka is the favorite in Vegas, and plenty of our staff likes him to win the British Open. When you look back at his performance over the last 11 majors, it’s easy to see why. Just check out his finishes, starting with the 2016 PGA Championship.

T-4th, T-11th, 1st, T-6th, T-13th, 1st, T-39th, 1st, T-2nd, 1st, 2nd.

Three members of our staff have him as their favorites as well, and here are their thoughts as to why they think Brooks Koepka is going to add a British Open to his list of majors.

@Mike_Randleman – Mike Randleman’s Pick: Brooks Koepka – Mike made his case for Koepka to win in his weekly power rankings. Here is an excerpt from his article.

“Brooks Koepka’s missed the top 50 in six of his last seven non-majors. The four-time major champion has ’em right where he wants ’em.

He hasn’t even been to Ireland or Northern Ireland.

But he does have an advantage with Northern Irishman caddie Ricky Elliott who grew up playing Royal Portrush.”

@RichieRandolph – Richie Randolph’s Pick: Brooks Koepka

@KathyBissell1 – Kathy Bissell’s Pick: Brooks Kopeka – How can I not pick him? His caddie knows the course. It’s a major, and Brooks has played majors the last two years like he was Tiger Woods.
