Australian Open Golf Betting Preview: Spieth, Scott Head Market for Tournament

A host of former champions, including world No. 5 Jordan Spieth and world No. 7 Adam Scott, front up for the opening event of the Australian summer golf season, the Australian Open, to be held at Royal Sydney starting this Thursday.

Spieth, the 2014 champion, and Scott, who won the Stonehaven Cup back in 2009, finished tied for second in this tournament 12 months ago, a shot adrift of Matt Jones.

Given they are both major winners, and their respective world rankings, it's hardly a surprise that they stand clear of the rest in terms of the betting market.
