Italian Open Background

It is the fifth event in the Rolex Series, and the parkland course offers a stern golfing test. A relatively flat track, it offers a number of birdie opportunities. Position on the fairway will be key, so golfers who are accurate off the tee are those to look out for in golf betting tips.

Italian Open Betting Tips

We have selected some of the best odds on the Italian Open as the annual event gets set to place in Milan for the third year running this week. Europe’s golfing elite go toe to toe and we select who are the best runners and riders shaping up in our Italian Open preview.

Jon Rahm has had a sensational year, rounding it off in fine style with top ten finishes at each of the FedEx Cup Playoff events. He is the favourite for the win with all the bookmakers and is the top price with StanJames. He has won twice this year, including the Irish Open, making him a deserved candidate for Italian Open outright winner tips. Rahm’s 13 top ten finishes this year have propelled him to 5^th in the Overall World Gold Rankings, having only turned professional last year. The Spaniard is currently third in the Race To Dubai rankings and will be hoping to leapfrog his compatriot Sergio Garcia. If he can carry on his FedEx Cup Playoff form then Rahm will show why he deserves to be amongst the Italian Open tips.

Englishman Ross Fisher made history on Sunday by setting a new course record at St Andrew’s Old Course, shooting an 11-under par 61. It marked a return to the top 10 of an event for Fisher and makes him a tip in the Italian Open preview. His seventh top 10 of the season, Fisher is sixth in the Race To Dubai rankings, and Sunday’s record-breaking round showed he is in great form. He is 14^th in driving accuracy on the European Tour this year, something which will have a big say in this week’s Italian Open. If he continues his form into next year he may well qualify for Europe’s Ryder Cup team, his only previous appearance coming in 2010. Fisher will be hoping his 2017 form results in a win before the season is out, but at 11/4 with Coral, he is a good shout for a Top 10 Finish at the Italian Open.

Reigning Champion Francesco Molinari is sure to be cheered on by the home crowd at this week’s Italian Open. Molinari won last year’s event by one shot from England’s Danny Willett and comes into this event off the back of yet another impressively consistent PGA Tour season. Last year’s success at the Italian Open was his second win at the tournament, having picked up the title in 2006. Molinari’s consistent swing and unerring long game accuracy mean he is more often than not in with a chance of picking up titles. Couple that with his knowledge and confidence around Golf Club Milano, he is one of the best Italian Open betting tips. First Round Leader betting can be a lucrative market as it only requires one good round to top the leaderboard after 18 holes, and backed by a passionate Italian fanbase, along with his confidence on this course after last year’s win, Molinari has all the tools at his disposal to get off to a flying start as he aims to retain his title. At 33/1 with StanJames.com, he is a worthwhile bet.
