The Outlook
Webb and I are on good terms for life. I hit his U.S. Open win at 66-1 and the Players Championship bet at 100-1. He can never do wrong by me, but I won’t be backing him here. He’s a guy who makes the cut consistently at the Open, but hasn't finished in the top 35 in seven years. He might be a good play to round out a fantasy roster, but he’s never really looked like a contender at this event.
