2023 Open Championship predictions: Five expert picks to win from Hoylake

The best golfers in the world will battle during the 2023 Open Championship this weekend at Royal Liverpoo💯l Golf Club in the fourth and final major of the year.

Here are five picks to win in Hoylake from the Post’s golf columnist Mark Cannizzaro:

Rickie Fowler 28/1 (PointsBet)

This will not only complete💜 his resurgence but deliver the signature win of his career.

Fowler is trending, finishing T5 at the U.S. Open, shot 60 at the Travelers Championship and won t💫h♎e Rocket Mortgage Classic for his first victory in four years.

He, too, finishe🌸d runner-up to Rory McIlroy in the 2014 Open the last time it was played ▨at Hoylake.

Rory McIlroy +750 (FanDuel)

Well, he’s ranked No. 2 in the world, won the Scottish Open on Sunday and won the Oꦑpen the last time it was at Hoylake, in 2014.

He, however, hasn’t won a major since 2014,💫 going on 10 years. So, there is psychological 🔜baggage to deal with.
