WINNER: SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER (+500)

Scheffler will be making his fourth appearance at The Open Championship and has had mixed results with four of his 12 rounds over par. Still the Masters champ has already won six times this season in what has been an extraordinary year. Rated No. 1 in this week's Dunkel Index, we'll take Scheffler (+500) to hoist the Claret Jug on Sunday.
