OPENING ODDS FOR FAVORITES

#1 Rory McIlroy 7.5/1 He has been at the top of his game, not a good bet, but 2021 winner.

#2 Patrick Cantlay 14/1 He is due, my best bet.

#3 Xander Schauffele 16/1 Cantlay’s best buddy, may be his turn.

#4 Tony Finau 17/1 Playing well, but can’t see him going back to back.

#5 Jordan Spieth 19/1 First time at tournament since 2013 when he placed 32nd, slim chance.
