Atlantic City bettor could win $99k if Tommy Fleetwood rallies to win the British Open
Even if the Englishman finishes in the top-5, DraftKings is on the hook for 68 grand. Fleetwood and leader Shane Lowry tee off at 8:47 a.m.
The gallery will be going nuts for Irishman Shane Lowry to close out the British Open on Sunday.
But on this side of the pond, at least one bettor is rooting extra hard for Tommy Fleetwood.
The unidentified gambler hammered Fleetwood before the Open began with several plays. If Fleetwood (-12), who is in second place behind Lowry (-16) entering the final round, can make up a four-shot deficit, the bettor will win close to $99,020. for his $21,000.

♦ $3,000 finish in top-10 at 9-2 (value: $13,500). Yeah, that’s now -2500 and worthless at this point.
♦ $4,000 for top-20 at 2.75-1 (value: $11,000).
♦ $4,000 for top-30 at 2-1 (value: $8,000).

Fleetwood, an Englishman, will be paired with Irishman Lowry on Sunday (8:47 a.m., NBC). Neither has ever won a major and rainy weather is in the forecast for the Northern Ireland course.
