Rory McIlroy (+200) is fresh off his 2011 US Open win. He finished T3 at the 2010 Open and has been in the Top 5 in four of his last eight Major appearances.
Lee Westwood (+300) two Top 5 finishes in his last two Open Championships. In June 2011, Westwood equalled his best performance at the U.S. Open finishing in a tie for third place at Congressional CC, an event which was dominated by Rory McIlroy. This was the fourth time in his career that Westwood had finished third in a major.
Luke Donald (+300) finished T11 at the 2010 Open and T4 at the 2011 Masters. His best finish at an Open Championship was T5 at the 2009 Open. Luke Donald could be the first to win Open Championships back to back. But, no player has ever won the Scottish Open and then gone on to win the British Open. Don't be surprised if Donald is the first to pull it off. Donald has eight top-10s in 10 starts on TOUR this year.
Martin Kaymer (+550) won the 2010 PGA Championship and finished T7 at the 2010 Open. He finished in the Top 10 in three of four Majors in 2010, but missed the cut at the 2011 Masters and finished T39 at the 2011 US Open.
Sergio Garcia (+650) plays his best golf at the Open Championships. He has six Top 10 finishes in 11 tries. Last year at the Open he placed T7. Garcia had to qualify for the Open Championship; he did it by finishing runner-up at the BMW International Open. This additionally means that Garcia will run his streak of consecutive majors to 49, which is the longest currently-active streak.
