12 Open outsiders worth sticking £1 on

Made your bold Open bets but still got a couple of quid in your account that you’re looking to part with?

Here are some outsider picks – all 50/1 or greater – who could be worth parting with a cheeky quid each way for.

(Odds correct as of Sunday, July 10).

Paul Casey – 50/1

Was the joint first round leader at Royal Troon back in 2004 with a five-under-par 66.

Zach Johnson – 50/1

He’s the defending Open champion. ‘Nuff said.

Matt Kuchar – 55/1

In great form of late. Last six results read: T3, 3, T6, T4, T46, T3

Andy Sullivan – 80/1

Fresh off a fantastic couple of weeks at the French and Scottish Opens. T30 on his Open debut last year.

Russell Knox – 80/1

Inside the world top 30 and the top Scot in the field. Go to be worth a bet – for sentiment if nothing else.

Ernie Els – 80/1

Play-off loser to Todd Hamilton in ’04 and T10 in 1997. He may be 46 but he knows his way around Royal Troon.

Graeme McDowell – 90/1

Awful showing in France but managed difficult conditions incredibly well at the Scottish Open. 90/1 looks great value for the Northern Irishman.

Danny Lee – 100/1

Like McDowell, Lee put together four impressive rounds in the tough Castle Stuart conditions.

Padraig Harrington – 100/1

Two-time Open champ who relishes the tough conditions expected in Ayrshire this week. Showed real glimpses of being back to his best at the Scottish Open.

Rafa Cabrera-Bello – 100/1

Having the season of his life on the European Tour and performed on the big stage finishing third at the WGC-Dell Match Play.

Soren Kjeldsen – 150/1

Ever since last year’s Irish Open win, Kjeldsen’s has continued on that upward trajectory. T7 at the Masters – could he go better at Royal Troon?

Colin Montgomerie – 200/1

How could you not fancy sticking a wee quid each way on Monty. The Scot battled through Final Open Qualifying at Gailes Links and on his home course, who knows…
