This format encourages aggressive play and awards points based on the number of strokes taken at each hole, so golfers want to avoid negative scores at this event.

In addition, McClure’s best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot. The model was also all over Jon…
