World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler shot 67 on Saturday to take a four-stroke lead at The Open Championship. His odds to hoist the Claret Jug went from +500 entering Thursday's play to +210 after round 1, -175 after round 2 and now -700 entering the final round.
Rory McIlroy carded a 66 in Round 3 but is still six strokes behind the leader, tied for fourth and two strokes back of Haotong Li. McIlroy is however favored in the "results without Scheffler" odds.
Matt Fitzpatrick, who was just one stroke back of Scheffler entering round 3, shot 71 on Saturday and is now in third place with 25-1 odds, tied with Li.
