Golf<\/a> returns to its original birthplace this weekend for the 150th Open Championship<\/a> at the historic Old Course at St. Andrews. I know you're itching to get some action down on the fourth and final major of the season, so let's check out the four golfers you need to have on your outright card for what should be an enthralling Open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'm steering clear of Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele at 10\/1 and 14\/1, respectively, this week. There's no question these two are in a tier of their own right now, but I'm not interested in paying basement-level prices for a guy who hasn't won a major since 2014 or another who doesn't have a single major victory on his resume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at 16\/1, Jordan Spieth is my favorite outright bet at the top of the odds board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spieth already has an Open Championship win to his name, and he's been a brilliant links player throughout his career. In eight starts at The Open, Spieth has four top-10s and has never missed a cut. He finished T4 and one stroke back of a playoff the last time The Open was held at St. Andrews in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spieth is a historian of the game who plays his best golf at the most iconic courses (Augusta National, Pebble Beach, Muirfield Village). It would be completely on-brand for the 28-year-old to win the 150th Open Championship at the most famous course in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
