Summary

  • Bryson DeChambeau is Bearman’s top fade for Royal Birkdale, with the analyst saying the two-time U.S. Open champion could miss the cut.
  • DeChambeau’s price has drifted to +6000 from as low as +2800 after poor major form—Bearman cited strokes lost on approach at the U.S. Open and around the greens at the PGA Championship.
  • Scottie Scheffler enters The Open as the +700 favorite despite missing the cut at last week’s Scottish Open, with Rory McIlroy next at +850 and Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick at +1500.
  • Royal Birkdale hosts the championship July 16-19 as Scheffler tries to become the first repeat Open winner since Padraig Harrington in 2007-08 and the first American since Tiger Woods in 2005-06.
  • Bearman, who says he is up more than 18 units in 2026, also flagged a 100-1 longshot he likes because of elite putting and links-style conditions.
