A two-ball acca for Transferring Day can see these 4 gamers triumph.
We’ve reached ‘Transferring Day’ of the Open Championship and as situations look to be fairly beneficial, we are able to anticipate a low-scoring Saturday.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler heads into the weekend with a one-shot lead and that appears ominous for the chasing pack.
Scheffler appeared utterly confused on the greens final week in Scotland, however via 36 holes, he ranks second on the greens now. Add that to the standard exemplary efficiency along with his iron play and clearly, if he produces something comparable over the weekend, he can be extremely powerful to beat.
With a mouth-watering spherical three in prospect, let’s see if Martin Mathews can pick some worth in as we speak’s two-ball pairings.
Saturday’s Open Championship 2-ball betting suggestions

Tommy Fleetwood v Justin Thomas – Justin Thomas to win
Justin Thomas and Tommy Fleetwood tee off at 1.05PM and it’s Thomas who I’ll facet with right here.
If this two-ball have been going down on the opposite facet of the Atlantic, it might be the American who would tee off because the favorite. It’s Fleetwood’s larger hyperlinks pedigree that makes him a heat order right here.
With situations set to be calm as we speak, I have to focus extra on their stature within the sport. As Thomas is a two-time Main Champion and a winner on tour this yr, this could at the least be an even-money matchup in my view.
Fleetwood struggled along with his method play yesterday, with the putter bailing him out. Conversely, Thomas’ irons have been firing and his putter was chilly. It’s the American then who will get the nod on the odds.
Ludvig Aberg v Justin Rose – Ludvig Aberg to win
Ludvig Aberg and Justin Rose tee off at 2pm and it’s the Swede I’ll facet with.
After a quiet interval, Aberg produced his greatest efficiency in a while whereas in Scotland final week, ending eighth. After a poor opening day right here, he then confirmed that type once more yesterday with a a lot improved efficiency from tee to inexperienced with the putter additionally cooperating.
Rose, in contrast, has been very a lot ‘smoke and mirrors’ this week, along with his iron play notably poor. He ranked 78th within the discipline in method play on Thursday and one hundred and fifteenth yesterday.
Permitting for this, the Englishman deserves credit score for utilizing all his expertise on Friday to trend a stage par spherical if he carries on in the identical vein, although he’ll solely be heading a method on the leaderboard.
Tony Finau v Chris Gotterup – Tony Finau to win
I’ll take the larger expertise of Tony Finau to see off Chris Gotterup after they get underway at 2.55pm.
Gotterup may be very a lot the person of the second after his very good win in Scotland final week and is little question using the crest of a wave.
After a sluggish begin on Thursday, the Scottish Open champion caught hearth with the putter yesterday to provide one of many rounds of the day, a six-under 65. I’ve to imagine, although, that fatigue should be beginning to kick in. Having relied closely on the flat stick on Friday, I think he’ll battle to again that spherical up as we speak.
Finau has had a quiet 2025 by his requirements, posting just one high ten to this point. This week, although, a return to the scene of his greatest Open efficiency – he was third right here in 2019 – appears to have invigorated him.
Stable so removed from tee to inexperienced and along with his nemesis, the putter, holding regular to this point, Finau is price chancing because the outsider right here.
Haotong Li v Brian Harman – Brian Harman to win
Lastly, I’ll wrap up our acca by taking Brian Harman towards Haotong Li at 3.25pm.
If anybody goes to chase down Scheffler, you wouldn’t guess towards it being the gritty American Harman. The winner of the Open at Hoylake simply two years in the past, we all know Harman is at dwelling in hyperlinks situations and I definitely don’t anticipate him to fold over the weekend.
The lefty’s lengthy sport has been wonderful to this point this week, rating second from tee to inexperienced, and as weird because it sounds, it’s only a lukewarm putter in comparison with Scheffler’s, which has him trailing the world primary.
Li, it needs to be stated, was third within the Open on debut in 2017. That end, although, was all the way down to an ‘off the tempo’ cost on Sunday, so that is very a lot new territory for him, and I anticipate Harman’s far larger expertise to prevail as we speak.
