Odds to win: 33-1
Bubba Watson was never in contention on Monday at St Andrews. In fact, thanks to opening rounds of 71 and 76, he didnt even make the cut.
Those rounds come off as an anomaly, though, when you expand your lens to look at Watsons season as a whole. This year, he has earned three top-five finishes, including a playoff victory at the Travelers Championship, a tie for second at the Waste Management Phoenix Open and a third-place finish at the WGC-Cadillac Championship.
Understandable skepticism comes into play, though, when you focus on his major results this year: a T-38 at the Masters followed by two missed cuts. Theres not a lot of confidence to be found in that record.
Historically, Watson hasnt fared badly at the PGA Championshiphe even came in second in 2010but his proponents will be leaning heavily on his 2012 and 2014 Masters victories as supporting evidence for favorable odds at Whistling Straits.
