2022 The Open Championship Round 4 Betting and Showdown Picks

Best Live Outright Adds

*90% of The Open winners since 1900 have been within three shots of the lead entering the final round.

*Since 1895, there have been 22 editions of The Open held at St. Andrews. Every single winner has been within four shots of the lead entering the final round.

Weather Forecast – St. Andrews, Scotland

The current wind forecast again appears to favor the golfers teeing off earlier in the day with winds between 8-10 mph and any gusts below 20 mph. Around noon when the upper half of the leaderboard begins their round, winds increase to 12-13 mph with higher gusts. In similar conditions, we saw the early wave on Saturday have a 1.39 shot edge over the afternoon wave. Don’t forget finishing points are awarded tomorrow if you are playing Showdown lineups, but I would make sure to include at least a few players from the early wave in each lineup. Players with upside teeing off early include Sam Burns, Joaquin Niemann and Justin Thomas.

Round 4 Betting Matchups Model

*Strokes Gained Rating (SG RTG) is the key metric that combines all the weighted categories in the model. Some players (or matchups) may not be listed due to not having enough sample size data.

Round 4 DraftKings DFS Showdown Selections

*No DFS model because of so many DP World Tour players with not enough data. Favoring players with high upside who have earlier rather than later tee time. Let’s get risky and chase extreme upside! It’s the only way to take down a large-field GPP. Tee Times can be found here.
