2023 US PGA Championship

The bets:

£2 e/w
Tony Finau @ 22/1
Dustin Johnson @ 30/1
Xander Schauffele @ 16/1
Tommy Fleetwood @ 50/1

£1 ew (free bet)
Gary Woodland @ 80/1

Placed by: P

What happened:

Woodland missed the cut, Finau (10 behind), Schauffele (nine behind), Fleetwood (eight behind) and Johnson (six behind) couldn't be described as 'threatening'.

After round three Fleetwood was best-placed of our selections. His one over par total had him in a share of tenth, three behind an each way pick-up place and six behind the leader. Johnson and Schauffele (both five over) and Finau (eight over) looking very unlikely to get involved.

There were to be no shock comebacks on the Sunday. Fleetwood finished the tournament at two over, eleven strokes behind winner Brooks Kopeka and five off the each way places. Schauffele finished on the same mark, Johnson at +9 and Finau at +15.
