British Open Odds 2016: Vegas Projections for Top Stars in This Year's Field

The top golfers in the world have descended on Scotland for the 2016 Open Championship, the third major on the calendar and the ninth to be held on the Old Course of Royal Troon Golf Course in South Ayrshire.

Oddsmakers have Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day as the co-favourites entering the tournament, which is set to start on Thursday, ahead of the likes of Dustin Johnson, Adam Scott and Rickie Fowler. The field is stacked with possible contenders, however, including the dangerous Danny Willett.
