The Dunhill Links Championship starts in Scotland on Thursday and three members of Europe's triumphant Ryder Cup team have entered the event.
Tommy Fleetwood, who put the Ryder Cup-winning point on the board on Sunday when he beat Rickie Fowler in his singles match, is Dunhill Links Championship favourite. The Southport man has a great record in the event but has never lifted the Dunhill trophy.
Matt Fitzpatrick suffered defeat in his Ryder Cup singles match, losing a tight battle with Max Homa, but Fitzpatrick is being shown great respect by bookmakers for the Dunhill.
Robert MacIntyre, who beat Wyndham Clark on Sunday and went unbeaten through his Ryder Cup debut, is the other European hero teeing up in the Dunhill.
- Richie Ramsay to win and each-way
- Eddie Pepperell to win and each-way
- Grant Forrest to win and each-way
- Alex Fitzpatrick to win and each-way
- Matthew Jordan to win and each-way

Richie Ramsay To Win And Each-Way
Scottish golf is on a high after Robert MacIntyre's Ryder Cup heroics and Richie Ramsay may ride that wave in the Dunhill Links.
Ramsay has twice finished in the top four in the Dunhill and his record on links terrain is excellent. He won the Cazoo Classic on a links course last summer.
Eddie Pepperell To Win And Each-Way
Five of the last nine Dunhills have been won by an Englishman and Eddie Pepperell could make that statistic six from ten on Sunday. The Oxford man has a superb record on links courses.
Pepperell was seventh in the 2017 Dunhill, 15th in 2019 and 17th in 2021. Some bright recent form hints he could be a big runner this week.
Grant Forrest To Win And Each-Way
Scottish ace Grant Forrest is another links master. He won the 2012 Scottish Amateur on links terrain, then was runner-up in the Amateur Championship at Carnoustie, before winning on the DP World Tour at Fairmont St Andrews in the 2021 Hero Cup.
Forrest has been in solid form this year, including third spot in the Irish Open a month ago, and he should go well in the Dunhill at decent odds.
Alex Fitzpatrick To Win And Each-Way
A weekend spent cheering on his brother Matt in the Ryder Cup in Rome could be the perfect warm-up for Alex Fitzpatrick to win his maiden DP World Tour title.
Alex finished 17th on his Open debut in July, having been 28th on his Dunhill debut last year, so his liking for links golf is obvious. He won on the Challenge Tour in August and seems well capable of DPWT glory at some stage soon.
Matthew Jordan To Win And Each-Way
Another Englishman with a passion for links golf is Matthew Jordan, who finished tenth in the Open at Royal Liverpool in July. He was fifth in the 2019 Dunhill Links and will be relishing the windy forecast this week.
Jordan was successful as an amateur at links venues, winning the Lytham Trophy by nine shots in 2018, and he can go well at massive odds this week.
