We went one for two in round one of our Scottish Open Underdog Fantasy plays, which will not get the job done. Looking at the weather, the winds seem to be down yet again, which will yield a ton of birdies. Anytime the pros are playing links golf, the weather is the x-factor. If it is not blowing, the boys will take it low. Here are my Scottish Open Underdog Fantasy Pick’em Plays for July 12th!

Scottish Open Underdog Fantasy Pick’em Plays – July 12th, 2024
Ludvig Aberg Less Than 1.5 Bogeys
Ludvig shot an amazing 6 under 64 in round one, hitting 15 greens. I mentioned that he did this at Pinehurst as well, which is why I loved him going into the week. Ludvig would have surely shot lower and hit another green if it was not for hitting Collin Morikawa’s ball with a wedge that was sitting on the green. Ludvig will continue to hit greens and keep his foot on the pedal in round two.
What are the odds?!

Xander Schauffele Lower Than 66.5
Xander shot 69 in round one and really did not have anything going. He is always a great bounce-back candidate and always fights hard from a slow start. With the wind being down again, look for Xander be play a steady round and easily clear this 66.5 number.
