Title Prediction: 2025 Betting Favorites: Exclusive Final Round Extras

The 2025 Open Championship is shaping up to be an exciting finale, with several players within striking distance of the lead.

Currently, Scottie Scheffler holds a commanding four-stroke lead after carding a four-under-par 67 on Saturday at Royal Portrush. However, for anyone from the chasing pack to win, Scheffler must stumble. Scheffler is priced at -700 to win his fourth Major, and third leg of the career grand slam, according to FanDuel.

Chasing Scheffler is a trio of players: Tyrrell Hatton, Chris Gotterup, and Matt Fitzpatrick. All three are within touching distance of the lead, and will be looking to capitalise on any potential mistakes from the current leader.

Meanwhile, Tommy Fleetwood and Ludvig Aberg are known for their final day charges. Fleetwood carded a 63 in the US Open back in 2023, and both he and Aberg will be hoping to replicate that form on Sunday.

Xander Schauffele, who showed glimpses of his former self with a five-under 66 on Saturday, currently sits solo eighth. Schauffele is at +1800 to win the tournament, and +1800 to win the 72 Hole Matchbet against Scottie Scheffler.

Haotong Li is third-favorite to win the 2025 Open, and will play in the final group with Scheffler on Sunday. Li had a strong showing at the tournament last time in 2019, finishing T4.

Lee Westwood, who leads the field in Strokes Gained: Off the tee this week at the age of 52, is three back of the top-five in the 2025 Open. Westwood finished T4 at the 2025 Open last time in 2019.

Nicolai Hojgaard sits T9th in the 2025 Open, a position he will be looking to improve upon on Sunday. Hojgaard had a strong showing at The Renaissance Club last week.

The editorial staff's selected favorites for third place at the 2025 Open Championship have not been explicitly stated in the available search results. However, Tommy Aberg, who fired a two-under score in his last round at the 2025 Open, and ranks 11th in terms of final round scoring average, could be a dark horse contender.

The 2025 Open Championship promises to be a thrilling finish, with several players in contention for the coveted Claret Jug. Tune in on Sunday to see who will come out on top.
