Rose new Masters betting favorite after Farmers win

He's the No. 1 player in the world and the most recent PGA Tour winner, so it's no surprise that Justin Rose is now the betting favorite to win the Masters.

Rose held on for a two-shot win at the Farmers Insurance Open, increasing his lead in the world rankings over Brooks Koepka. After he had been listed for weeks as a Masters co-favorite at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook alongside Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth, odds on the latter two both drifted out to 14/1 following middling finishes at Torrey Pines.

It left Rose, who was listed at 16/1 when betting opened in August, as the lone favorite at 12/1.
