British Open 2018: Field Odds, Favorites and Tournament Preview

Dustin Johnson will head into the 2018 British Open as favorite to win a second major at Carnoustie Golf LinksinAngus, Scotland, but one top-10 finish at this contest in the last five attempts suggests it will be a tall order.

Johnson's best result at The Open was a share of second place in 2011, but he's managed to finish in the top 10 in both majors so far this year (The Masters and U.S. Open) and will again be billed as the lead contender in Scotland.

The American is priced as an 11-1 frontrunner with OddsShark, just about edging Rory McIlroy, who comes a narrow second at 12-1, followed by Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood, all at 16-1.
