There were plenty of guys who were over 100-1 and Troy Merrit would have definitely been well over 100-1. I went up and down the list looking for Troy Merrit, so I could throw $10 on him. He wasn't on the list. They offered odds on 65 guys out of the 89 guys in the field, but Merrit was not one of them. Guess who ended up tying for the low score of the day? Troy Merrit. I can't believe they didn't have a line on him, considering they had lines on practically everyone else in the field. Bad break for me. That would have been nice to cash that bet.

Since Merrit was not on the list, I ended up throwing $10 on Cabrera Bello at 52-1. He played ok. He shot 73. The low score for the day ended up being 71. The four guys that shot 71 were, McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Daniel Berger, and Troy Merrit.
How does it work when there are ties, would they divide those odds by 4? I have my own story... I have 5 entries in the DK 4 million game. My best is 197.5 in the money at this point. I am also playing a H2H against a friend and my entry is at $238 one would think I would be smart enough to have replicated that in the 4 million but no I am an idiot.
