Action Network

Expert Pick
Matt Vincenzi Cameron Smith
Chris Murphy Max Homa

Matt Vincenzi of The Action Network is picking Cameron Smith to win the 2022 Open Championship. Smith, who is +2200 at TopBet sportsbook, is 12 of 15 this season with six top 10s. He also has a pair of top 35s at The Open Championship. Smith had a good warmup leading to the 2022 Open Championship, as he placed T10 at the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open. For Chris Murphy, Homa is his guy. Homa has made the cut in all of his last four major starts and has two wins this season to date.

Expert Top-ranked player
Dan Rapaport Shane Lowry

Here’s what Dan Rapaport said about Shane Lowry in his top-100 rankings piece for the 2022 Open Championship:

“He’s one of the few players not glued to their Trackman and relishes the chance to vary trajectories and flights; a course like St. Andrews would seem to be perfect for him, for it will force players to control distances. Comes in off a week of rest following a top-10 at the Irish Open. All systems are a go, and he’s the pick for a victory that’d be surprising only to those not paying attention.”

Expert Top-ranked player
Brentley Romine Rory McIlroy

Brentley Romine has the Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy on top of his own rankings for the 2022 Open Championship, saying that “While he [McIlroy] hasn’t factored in an Open since Carnoustie in 2018, he is riding a nice hot streak into St. Andrews with five top-10s in his last seven starts, 147 greens hit in majors this year (best in the world by six over Fitzpatrick) and fresh off leading the U.S. Open field in strokes gained putting (+9.44).”


TopBet News Editor | Ryan Simpson

Expert Pick
Ryan Simpson, News Editor Jon Rahm

In his preview of 2022 The Open Championship, TopBet News Editor Ryan Simpson revealed that he is picking Jon Rahm to win the tournament. Here’s what Simpson had to say about Rahm:

Rahm is going to try his luck again in The Open Championship. He has yet to win this tournament in five tries, but he has been getting better of late. After a missed cut at Carnoustie in 2018, Rahm went T1 the following year at Royal Portrush and had a T3 in 2021 at Royal St. George’s. He’s also almost a shoo-in to make the cut since he’s gone 14 of 14 in all of his last 14 starts. Over that stretch, Rahm has collected six top 10s, including a win at the 2022 Mexico Open at Vidanta.
