Following Friday's foursomes draw, the key takeaway in terms of top-scorer markets is that while we knew both Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy would feature, and who they'd be paired with, they are not against each other. Both have landed seemingly good draws, in fact, more on which later.
Had they met each other then the result would've been that at least one of them has to drop points. As it is, that will happen instead to Jon Rahm or Bryson DeChambeau, second-favourites in their respective markets. There seems a good chance that Scheffler and McIlroy both end the morning with their positions in those top team scorer markets even stronger than they are now.
Friday's foursomes announcement improved our position on Viktor Hovland slightly, now 8/1 from 11/1 to be the top European, although given that we all knew he'd play that does seem a little peculiar. Personally I'm surprised he's not with Ludvig Aberg, but perhaps we'll see that pairing later in the week.
