Stenson remains Olympic betting favorite

According to Las Vegas, Henrik Stenson is still the man to beat this week in Rio.

Stenson opened last as a 9/2 betting favorite to win the gold medal in golf's return to the Olympics according to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook. Those odds have not changed for Stenson, who at No. 5 is the highest-ranked player in this week's field.

Stenson is followed by Spain's Sergio Garcia, who boasts 7/1 odds.

While the lines on Stenson and Garcia have not changed since their release following the PGA Championship, there have been notable shifts on two other Olympic participants.
