We saw an amazing 150<sup>th<\/sup> Open Championship at St. Andrews that ended with Cam Smith taking home his first career major thanks to an unreal bogey-free 64 on Sunday highlighted by a Back 9 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on when and where you bet his outright, Cam Smith was anywhere from +2000 to close to +3000. Betsperts Golf\u2019s very own Ron Klos cashed a Cam Smith ticket at +2800 this weekend, making it the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> consecutive weekend the Betsperts Golf crew has cashed an outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you bet Cam every which way this week, congrats again! Let\u2019s take a look and see how well you did. Smith cashed his Top 5 odds at an appealing +650 number. His Top 10 odds stayed at +390 just about most of the week on FanDuel. Lastly, his Top 20 number hit at +225 for the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Said it to start the recap, but I\u2019ll say it again, if you had a Rory outright, I\u2019m so sorry. Rory looked destined to win his first major in 8 years. After three consecutive rounds in the 60s, Rory came into Sunday tied with Viktor Hovland at -16, and after 9 Rory held a 3-shot advantage over Hovland and looked like he\u2019d cruise. Then Cam Smith\u2019s birdie barrage happened. Rory burned edge after edge on the back and couldn\u2019t get one to drop. After an amazing eagle (and overall performance) by Cam Young on 18 to jump to -19, Rory had to settle for an 18-under, 3rd-place finish. Rory entered the week as the favorite on FanDuel with +1100 outright odds. He still managed to cash his Top 5 (+370), Top 10 (+230), and Top 20 (+162) numbers.<\/li><li>While he didn\u2019t win, Cam Young (+9600 outright) had himself a very successful weekend. Bookended bogies on his Sunday Front 9 may have cost him in the end, but a beautiful eagle on 18 vaulted him into 2<sup>nd<\/sup> place in addition to his 1<sup>st<\/sup> Round leader prop he hit with an 8-under 64. Young certainly looks like a threat come major season next year when The Masters rolls around. Young cashed his Top 5 (+1600), Top 10 (+800) and Top 20 (+420) numbers.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Betting recap and odds analysis for the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3752,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"bs_types":[14],"bs_tags":[29,123],"class_list":["post-3751","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","bs_type-betting","bs_tag-golf-betting","bs_tag-the-open"],"acf":false,"featured_image":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/CamWinsOpen.jpg","tags_list":[{"id":29,"name":"Golf Betting","slug":"golf-betting"},{"id":123,"name":"The Open","slug":"the-open"}],"types_list":[{"id":14,"name":"Betting"}],"bs_author":{"name":"Matthew Rooney","profile_image":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Matt-rooney-150x150.jpg"},"bs_term_name":null,"is_paid":"false","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/3751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"bs_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bs_types?post=3751"},{"taxonomy":"bs_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bs_tags?post=3751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
