British Open 2026: Top betting storylines for Royal Birkdale

Bryson DeChambeau is still looking to make his first cut at a major this season at Royal Birkdale, while Brooks Koepka hopes to build off a T-6 finish the last time the Open was held at this historic course.

Despite a missed cut at Shinnecock last month, Koepka has performed better in majors than his former LIV Golf counterpart (mainly thanks to a T-12 finish at Augusta in April). However, neither of them are exactly "sexy names" to stand in the winner's circle and hoist the claret jug next week.
