The best 1st round leader bets from the Open Championship for 2022.
1st Round Leader
Xander Schauffele is the hottest golfer in the world right now with two official wins and a victory in the JP McManus Pro-Am. He is one of just three of the Top 10 first round scorers to have a morning draw. Not shot over 70 in his last seven first rounds.
1st Round Leader
Of the top six first round scorers on shorter courses, measured over their last 50 opening rounds, five have afternoon draws this week. The exception is Webb Simpson, who tees off very early and will likely get the best of it.
1st Round Leader
The big Spaniard has not been blessed with a kind draw with the afternoon likely to play faster but Jon Rahm ranks 4th in opening round scores in fast conditions and 3rd in opening round scores on short courses under 7200 yards.
1st Round Leader
Tiger Woods is not without a hope of posting a very nice first round despite the surprise that organisers have given him an afternoon-morning draw. Of all players in the field, Tiger Woods leads in strokes gained in the opening round on short courses under 7200 yards.
