Houston Open Betting Expects Best from Scheffler

The PGA Tour Heads to Memorial Park

There is only one player listed at short odds with Houston Open betting markets and it’s Scottie Scheffler.

The American is the warm +650 favorite to get back to his best form and he’s clearly the best player in the field.

However, as always, PGA golf odds are generous and there are players good enough to beat the former world number one.

Scheffler is Overdue

Scheffler made a big impression when winning four golf tournaments in a short timeframe earlier this year, but he’s now overdue a win.

As Houston Open betting suggests, he should be tough to beat this week and he could wrestle the top ranking away from Rory McIlroy with a good performance.

He made a good finish at the Mayakoba Classic last week when shooting -9 in the final round. It was an impressive finish, which secured a T3 finish.

He changed putters throughout the tournament but went back to his usual putter in the final round.

“Yeah, I went back to my old putter for the round. I think when I see so many putts go up to the cup and not go in, it was like, well, maybe I’ll just make a change and see what happens. This is the time of year when I’ll usually experiment with stuff. It’s probably something I’ll continue to fiddle around with, but I went back to something I’m really comfortable with and I putted well the last two days.”

His Cadence Bank Houston Open odds are worth taking and he could end the drought with an emphatic victory.

We’re Picking Pendrith

The end of the year is the best time to bet on golfers seeking their first PGA Tour win.

Enter Taylor Pendrith, who is a two-time winner on the Canadian PGA, but he has yet to win on the main tour, but that could all change at the Houston Open.

He is hurting following a terrible effort at the President’s Cup, where he didn’t win a point for the internationals. However, we won’t be worried if he can snag his first PGA Tour win and bettors get value odds for the risk.

The +6000 odds are worth having on your ticket, and although he’s a risky bet, we think he’ll pick up his first win over the next couple of years. Therefore, the chase theory is in effect and there are worse golfers to invest with.

Henley Running Hot

Russell Henley broke a drought when winning last week and the 2017 Houston Open champion knows this course well, so he’s worth following.

Henley is the most recent champion in the field, and it should mean something to him given that recent champions Jason Kokrak, Carlos Ortiz, and Ian Poulter have all switched to the LIV Tour.

The 33-year-old has won four times on the PGA Tour and prefers easier courses like Memorial Park. A comparable performance to his -20 from 2017 would be sufficient to secure the victory.

Henley is respected and could continue to be the top golfer as Houston Open betting odds have him at +2500. He’s a solid pick at that price as confident golfers typically play well in consecutive weeks.

He should also be looked as a first-round leader selection. Henley is paying +3500 to lead after the first round, and although it’s a tough bet to cash, we love this exotic golf play.
