SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – The Americans are expected to get out to a fast start at the Ryder Cup, at least in the eyes of Las Vegas oddsmakers.
While the U.S. squad hasn’t hoisted the trophy on European soil in 25 years, the pairings captain Jim Furyk trotted out for Friday morning are favored in three of the four fourball matches to begin play Friday morning at Le Golf National. That’s according to the odds at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, which were posted shortly after the groups were announced.
The biggest edge goes to the combo of Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, who are -160 to win their match (bet $160 to win $100) while Paul Casey and Tyrrell Hatton are +140 underdogs (bet $100 to win $140).
