Predictions for Final Round Wagers in 2025: Exclusive Sporting Highlights
2025 Open Championship: Scheffler Leads, but Challengers Loom
Scottie Scheffler is currently the clear favourite to win the 2025 PGA Tour Open Championship, with odds of -700, but a chasing pack is hot on his heels. The American carded a four-under-par 67 on Saturday at Royal Portrush, maintaining his four-stroke lead going into the final round. However, Scheffler's lead may prevent him from playing aggressive golf in round four, opening up opportunities for his competitors on the PGA Tour.
One such contender is Xander Schauffele, who beat Scheffler in round three and could do so again in round four. Schauffele, currently seven strokes back, will aim to go low to chase down the lead. The American had a solid Saturday performance, shooting a five-under 66 to move up to solo eighth.
Lee Westwood, a veteran of the sport, is also in contention. Westwood, who finished T4 here in 2019, is currently three strokes back from the top-five and comes into the final round high on confidence. The Englishman led the field in Strokes Gained: Off the tee this week at the age of 52, a testament to his consistent play on the PGA Tour.
Tyrrell Hatton, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Chris Gotterup are all within touching distance of the lead. They will be hoping to capitalise on any mistakes Scheffler may make. The trio, along with Haotong Li, who is third-favorite to win, and Nicolai Hojgaard, who is currently T9th, are all priced at +3100 to finish in the top 5.
Tommy Fleetwood and Ludvig Aberg, known for their final day charges, are also in the mix. Fleetwood had a solid Saturday, shooting a one-under 70, while Aberg carded a three-under 68. Aberg ranks 11th in terms of final round scoring average, suggesting he could mount a strong challenge on Sunday.
As the 2025 Open Championship enters its final round, all eyes will be on Scheffler. However, for anyone from the chasing pack to win, Scheffler must stumble. With the quality of players in contention, it promises to be an exciting finish on the PGA Tour.
