Scheffler’s dominance: Claimed his 4th major, now 4-for-4 in closing with a 54-hole lead.


📈 Putting breakthrough: Gained +2 strokes on the field, his second-best putting performance ever in a major.


🏆 FedExCup outlook: Scheffler leads the standings with playoffs starting in three weeks at TPC Southwind.


🎯 Rory’s inconsistency: T7 finish, negative driving accuracy for the third straight event despite solid putting.


💪 Bryson’s comeback: From 78 in round 1 to a 10th-place finish, crushing Scheffler fade bets.


📉 Failed futures: Kim (89th FedEx rank), Theegala (140th), Thompson (72nd) all disappointing in majors.


📊 Henley & Fitzpatrick: Delivered top-10 placements, boosting the week’s betting card.


🛠 TPC Twin Cities profile: Wide, water-laden course requiring long-iron precision and hot putting.


🔥 Betting favorites: Will passes on Sam Burns (18-1), Maverick McNeely (20-1), Wyndham Clark (25-1) due to value concerns.


🔮 Predicted winning score: -19 under soft, rain-aided conditions.


Scheffler’s win (0:354:20 ): Scottie Scheffler triumphed at Royal Portrush with back-to-back positive putting rounds on Thursday and Friday, capped by a final round 68 watched by 4 million viewers.


Career implications (4:206:10 ): At 29 years old, Scheffler now sits tied 22nd in all-time majors (4 total), aiming for a career Grand Slam with only the U.S. Open missing.


Conditions & performance context (6:108:05 ): Favorable weather with minimal wind/rain made Portrush play softer, aiding low scoring. Bryson DeChambeau’s strong final three rounds highlighted how score-friendly conditions were.




  • Rory & MacIntyre analysis (8:0510:40 ): Rory missed a “sub-65” round, while Robert MacIntyre had a statistically positive week except for 3rd-round irons, both finishing T7 (-10).




  • Justin Thomas struggles (10:4012:20 ): Despite excellent iron play & short game, JT lost a full stroke off the tee, continuing his season-long accuracy woes, finishing T34 (-3).




  • Bryson fade failure (13:2015:50 ): After a 78 in round one, DeChambeau rebounded with 65-68-64, finishing T10, spoiling fade bets.




  • Betting recap (16:0020:40 ): Russell Henley cashed a +350 top-10, Matthew Fitzpatrick delivered +333 top-10, while sleeper Christopher Reeding missed top-20 by 2 shots.




  • Futures review (21:0025:00 ): Futures on Tom Kim, Sahith Theegala, and Davis Thompson were failures, collectively costing 3 units.




  • 3M Open preview (26:0035:40 ): Course needs long iron ball-strikers (e.g., Finau, Champ), with Will predicting -19 as the winning score under wet but playable conditions.




  • Best bets & lineups (35:4041:18 ): Key wagers include Tony Finau & Cam Champ for top-10s, with outright bets on Michael Thorbjornsen (35-1), Andrew Putnam (70-1), and Austin Eckroat (100-1).
