| EXPERT | LINEUP | WINNER | COMMENT | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ROB BOLTON FANTASY INSIDER | Viktor Hovland Brooks Koepka Louis Oosthuizen Jordan Spieth Jon Rahm Xander Schauffele | Jon Rahm | Without ShotLink in play at Royal St. George’s and given the unpredictable variables of The Open, this week is all about roster management in Segment 4. Unless he’s contending, Rahm is insurance | |
| BEN EVERILL STAFF WRITER | Brooks Koepka Marc Leishman Louis Oosthuizen Jon Rahm Viktor Hovland Xander Schauffele | Marc Leishman | I was big on Leish at both the PGA and US Open to no avail BUT links golf is his true sweet spot so I’m tripling down on this Aussie legend. | |
| SEAN MARTIN SENIOR EDITOR | Viktor Hovland Louis Oosthuizen Jon Rahm Xander Schauffele Brooks Koepka Lee Westwood | Jon Rahm | Two Irish Open victories show a comfort on the links. He’s tough to beat these days. | |
| MIKE GLASSCOTT FANTASY CONTRIBUTOR | Brooks Koepka Louis Oosthuizen Jon Rahm Jordan Spieth Rory McIlroy Xander Schauffele | Brooks Koepka | Gamers know the drill. This week is full attention, all systems go, locked and loaded. Time to win. | |
| CAMERON MORFIT STAFF WRITER | Matthew Fitzpatrick Jon Rahm Lee Westwood Xander Schauffele Brooks Koepka Justin Thomas | Lee Westwood | The Open rewards experience, and there’d be a nice symmetry if he and buddy Darren Clarke both won their major at the same place. | |
| JASON SOBEL THE ACTION NETWORK, GOLFBET | Louis Oosthuizen Jon Rahm Jordan Spieth Lee Westwood Christiaan Bezuidenhout Marc Leishman | Lee Westwood | Winning a Claret Jug takes creativity, patience, experience and, yeah, maybe a little magic, too. |
