Conners is entered at this week’s Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, a warmup event offering similar conditions as the Open Championship, the final major of the year, scheduled July 18-21. Folks using Ontario sportsbook apps to wager on golf will want to watch out for this week’s results as a possible harbinger for The Open Championship the following week.
Ranked No. 40 in the world, Conners has played well recently. He has finished in the top 30 in his past seven PGA Tour tournaments, including a tie for ninth in the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. That result is notable because it was the first time Conners had even made the cut at the U.S. Open.
| Year | Finishing Place |
| 2019 | Missed Cut |
| 2020 | No Tournament |
| 2021 | T-15 |
| 2022 | T-28 |
| 2023 | T-52 |
The best finish for Conners at The Open Championship was a tie for 15th at Royal St. George’s in 2021. He has made the cut in this tournament the past three years.
Conners is 37th on the money list for the 2024 PGA Tour season at just over $3.3 million and he’s fourth in strokes gained: Approach the green. That will be critical in The Open Championship, where players have to be creative and steady, often while battling the elements. And he’ll have to knock it close to the pin on approach shots because he’s ranked No. 148 on tour in putts per round at 29.46.
At Caesars Ontario Sportsbook, Scottie Scheffler is the odds-on favorite for The Open Championship. The two-time Masters champion is at +400 odds as of July 10, ahead of 2014 Open champ Rory McIlroy (+800) and reigning U.S. Open winner Bryson DeChambeau (+900).
