2021 British Open odds: Open Championship picks, top predictions by model that nailed Jon Rahm's win

It shouldn't come as a surprise that players who grew up playing links golf or have experience playing professionally would have an advantage at the British Open. Entering this week's 2021 Open Championship, there have only been four American champions since 2007. Jordan Spieth was the last to get it done in 2017 at Royal Birkdale, and he appears to have his game back into major championship form after going nearly four years without a win. The 2021 Open Championship field will begin play on Thursday at Royal St. George's, a course on the southeast coast of England that is hosting its 15th Open.
