Jon Rahm may not be leading the Masters when he goes to bed on Friday night, but he will likely be the betting favorite.
Rahm, who currently sits at 8-under par through 12 holes in his second round, is one shot behind the co-leading quartet of Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Cameron Smith and Abraham Ancer.
DraftKings posted Rahm at +335 ($10 bet wins $33.50) after play was suspended for darkness on Friday evening, just ahead of Johnson at +450 and Thomas at +600.
There is a bit of a jump between the three favorites and the next player, Patrick Cantlay, who is currently priced at +1200 and one shot back of the co-leaders.
Cantlay and Rahm are two of four players who ended Friday at 8 under. Hideki Matsuyama, who is now the fifth-favorite at +1600, got there thanks to a 4 under through 15 holes, while Sungjae Im, was able to grind out a -2 to get there after a terrific showing on Friday morning to close out Round 1. Despite being within one shot of the lead, Im is still viewed as a bit of an outsider at +2800.
There was a lot of longshot hype surrounding Cam Smith throughout the weeks and so far that buzz has been justified. Smith, who was +8000 pre-tournament, is now down to +2000 after finishing Round 2 tied for the lead at 9 under.
There was considerably less fanfare surrounding Ancer, who went off at +11000, before the tournament so it makes sense that he has the longest odds of the four leaders at +2200. The 29-year-old Mexican has been steady throughout both rounds and currently ranks third behind Louis Oosthuizen and Johnson in Greens In Regulation (GIR).
After a calamitous morning that saw him finish 3 over par, Rory McIlroy looked like a longshot to even make the weekend. But golf is a funny game and the Northern Irishman shot 6 under to get to -3 for the tournament. McIlroy would need to pull another rabbit out of his hat to contend, but the fact that he's +3300 shows you that bookmakers are treading carefully with the former World No. 1.
Tiger Woods finished 10 holes and finished the day where he started at 4 under par. Woods sits at +2200 on Friday evening.
Pre-tournament favorite Bryson DeChambeau is currently 3 over par through 12 holes in Round 2. DeChambeau has a lot of work to do just to make the cut, but bookmakers are handling him with care and have him listed at just 50/1 heading into Saturday. That puts him at the same price as 2015 champion Danny Willett and C.T. Pan, who are each just two shots off the pace.
