Odds
Chris Wood enters the weekend as the odds-on favorite—according to Paddy Power—despite poor showings at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open and the Alstom Open de France. The 27-year-old opens at 16/1, while David Howell, Marc Warren and Richie Ramsay are all second-choice favorites (18/1).

Prediction
Matthew Fitzpatrick was unable to secure a victory at the Omega European Masters, finishing second to Danny Willett. But carrying the momentum of a 16-under par, look for the 20-year-old to survive the bracket on Sunday.
