The bets:

Rory McIlroy to win £3 @19/2
Jordan Spieth £2 e/w @ 14/1
Scottie Scheffler £2 e/w @ 14/1
Patrick Cantlay £2 e/w @ 20/1

£1 win victor Hovland @33/1
£1 win Shane Lowry 20/1

Placed by: P

What happened:

All the selections made the cut.

After three rounds McIlroy and Hovland shared the lead, four clear of the field.  Scheffler, Cantlay and Spieth were all in the top 12. Win bet only Lowry was just behind but no chance of him picking up the main prize.

Unfortunately the last day didn't live up to the first three. McIlroy, with a 70, and Hovland (74) failed to convert as Can Smith came through with a fantastic round to take the win.

Cantlay and Spieth both finished tied-8th to deliver £17.60 and a slight profit.
