The Genesis Scottish Open was the final stop on the 2022 PGA Tour before the Open Championship at the famed St. Andrews.

Legacies are made at the Open Championship, especially when it's played at arguably the most famous course in the world, and there are few things as meaningful in the golf world as winning a major tournament.

So, naturally, FanDuel Sportsbook already has tons of odds and prop bets available for the Open Championship in 2022.

Hideki Matsuyama British Open History

Matsuyama has missed the cut in three of his seven British Open starts, and has one top-10 finish on debut in 2013.

Matsuyama's best single-round score in the Open Championship was a 66. He shot that score twice in Round 3 in 2017 at Royal Birkdale and also Round 2 in 2015 at St. Andrews when he finished T-18.

Hideki Matsuyama British Open Prediction & Pick

Matsuyama missed the cut in his last two Open appearances, and skipped last year to focus on the Olympics in his home country of Japan. His strong recent iron play with approach and short game strength offer encouragement, despite a missed cut last week at the Scottish Open.

Hideki's driver can come and go, as does his putter, which likely leaves him short of a chance to win. Perhaps a top-30 finish (-130) is within his bag this week, but I'm not betting on it.
