Will Zalatoris @ 100/1 (free bet)

50p ew 1/4 odds, top five

MW Lee @ 55/1

What happened?:

A combination of many of our players getting the worst of the Scottish weather and, let's face it, not playing well enough meant that only Cantlay (-1) and Morikawa (+1) survived the cut.

Cantlay fell back to three over (tied for 25th) on Saturday, Morikawa was one shot better, tied for 15th.

Neither of our players could get involved on the final day. Morikawa's level par final round saw him two shots behind tenth place and eleven behind the winner. Cantlay shot a last day 73 to finish at +5.
