Bets placed now come with big caveats and it's important to acknowledge a defensive position with a cautious staking plan. Both styles clearly work, but one might be slightly more suited for major championship play.

We know winning the 149th British Open was not easy, but Collin Morikawa made it look that way last week at Royal St. Georges. Burns' rise over the last nine months has been impressive but not unexpected and, crucially, it's no flash in the pan. St Andrews on a calm day could take a beating, even if he's yet to demonstrate the more refined skills of a typical Open champion. DeChambeau averaged 318 yards off the tee last week at Harding Park.

Hovland is nevertheless somewhat tempting, as is Wolff at 66s, and that's how things should be when you're looking at things antepost. Ancer is small in stature and lacks the power of those he's trying to compete with towards the top of the game, which is probably why he's underestimated. His record in them is unspectacular but he's made six cuts out of six in the US Open, and has now won titles in Maryland and Ohio (twice), under similar conditions. Hovland then goes in the yankee, the Hero having actually been a good guide to the following year's majors, but he's never been shorter for one than he currently is for this and, as with Thomas and the Masters, something borderline unfathomable would have to occur in the next five months were 22/1 to look a steal. Wolff endured a nightmare start to 2021, which culminated in him taking a break after a Masters disqualification was followed by an abysmal display alongside Morikawa in the Zurich Classic pairs event.

With so much water to pass under the bridge between now and even the first of the four, it's not really possible to talk in terms of who we might actually expect to contend. Tyrrell Hatton, 50/1 for other majors, is a best of 25/1 and shorter than a higher-ranked and quite simply better player in Viktor Hovland.

College rival Collin Morikawa has hogged the headlines so far and by no means could anyone confident predict that Hovland will soon join him as a major winner, but he certainly has the talent and, increasingly, the belief. 2004-2023 CBS Interactive. My suggestion is that Burns ought to be absolutely no bigger than 40/1 for the US Open and US PGA, and perhaps just a shade bigger for both the Masters and the Open, where experience is that bit more valuable unless you happen to be Zalatoris or indeed Morikawa. Come July, no doubt I'll be looking closely at those with what I consider to be the right sort of pedigree, depending perhaps on the weather forecast.

Given how much he has often improved for playing in the northeastern states and putting on Bentgrass greens, the idea of him stepping up on previous, modest major performances here in Massachusetts does appeal, but the price does not. Indeed you could say he's a Matsuyama lite: quality approach work if not up there with the very elite; strong off the tee if lacking the power of some; even capable of being sharp around the greens, if not one of the best of all-time as Brad Faxon somehow labelled him during a commentary stint earlier in the year. There's not a great deal more to say, except that we shouldn't assume he won't be able to cope with an Open Championship.

We're about midway through that major-less run and with golf taking a rare and brief pause, it's the only real opportunity to have a proper look at the Masters, the US PGA, the US Open, and the Open Championship, a sequence which starts as ever at Augusta and this year ends at St Andrews. Most of all, if his form at the back end of 2021 extends through to spring of 2022, he'll be back on everyone's radar. 13, ranked one spot ahead of Tiger Woods and one behind Tommy Cantlay has taken a prolonged break since the Ryder Cup and is entitled to start the new year slowly, but is a player I can see going very close in any of the four majors. Sungjae Im, no bigger than 50/1 for the Masters but available at 80s for this, also merits a second look. More of the same and he ought to harden plenty regardless. Precision vs Power will be fun to watch over the next couple decades thx to Collin. Not only do we know less now than we will prior to each of the four, but no bookmaker offers more than six places currently. Morikawa, the former No. But he has undoubtedly improved again since, coming within a whisker of taking down a top-class field in the WGC won by Ancer, and signing off for the year with third place in the Hero World Challenge then second in the QBE Shootout. The actual answer might be to create more shorter risk-reward holes that allow the big fellas to take rips but punish them if they're not on point like Morikawa was.

Morikawa was ranked outside the top 1,000 in the world just 13 months ago. "It just had to be a normal driver for me," said Morikawa. He leaves a decade later as Masters champion. It's unlikely DeChambeau starts much shorter and I'm afraid I'm heading back to SAM BURNS, who is priced up as though less likely to win this than Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, Robert MacIntyre, Branden Grace, Tiger Woods, Justin Rose, and several more players who are simply not playing to anything like the standards he's reached lately, and MacIntyre aside do not have the potential to improve on what we've seen already. This was the presumed way to beat down a "big boy course" (Brooks Koepka's words) going into the week.

St Andrews has thrown up two surprise winners since Tiger Woods dominated here in 2000 and 2005, his combined margin of victory a whopping 13 shots. DeChambeau is all meat and potatoes, often pumping himself up like an Olympic powerlifter before he pummeled his golf ball into the thick San Francisco air all week. Scheffler could well win before July and, combined with eighth place in Kent, he'd become a very popular candidate to add to the Open's Texas connections, which cover Spieth, Johnson, Justin Leonard and even the likes of Dylan Frittelli and Austin Connelly, who have gone well at massive prices recently. Here, in the major which is predisposed to providing a powerful champion, I'm willing to chance him. Yes, that leaderboard had something of the abnormal about it, with no patrons and a soft, autumnal setting making things far less fearsome than can be the case in spring. For what it's worth, my best guess at the Masters winner and therefore selection for a majors multiple would be Justin Thomas, an outrageously good iron player, now with the required experience, and with Jim 'Bones' Mackay potentially the missing piece of the jigsaw. Finally, a word on some non-qualifiers, which would've been more substantial and potentially included recommended bets but for the fact most firms now settle anyone who doesn't play as a loser (Sky Bet and BoyleSports refund bets, as I believe do Paddy Power and Betfair Sportsbook).
