If you don't fancy a player to win the British Open, but still feel they will give a good showing, you can back that player to place only. This means, you don't lose your win part of an each-way bet if that player places and is often a good alternative to backing the player each-way.
Check the odds on the British Open place only market.
Just like place only betting, this time you can back a player to win only, at slightly bigger odds than you would get in the normal outright winner market for the Open Championship. Bigger odds means a bigger return so if you are positive your player is going to win the tournament, it can be a profitable alternative bet to the normal outright market.

The Americans have a marvellous record in the British Open and were it not for Padraig Harrington's recent back-to-back wins they would monopolise the recent winners of the Claret Jug. Tiger Woods may head the outright betting, but there will be a whole host of Americans making the trip across the Atlantic with designs on winning the 140th Open Championship, including Phil Mickelson.

With four English players in the top ten of the World Rankings, there's a real dearth of quality going in to the Open Championship. Lee Westwood is the highest ranked English player, and he is joined in the World's top ten by the likes of Poulter, Donald and Casey, but none have gone on to win one of golfing's majors yet.
