Chivers highlighted Matthew Jordan at a steady 200/1 as the ultimate deep-field dart. The lifelong Royal Liverpool member has teed it up in only four majors—three of them Opens—but cashed T10 tickets in both 2023 and 2024, each time at roughly the same triple-digit odds. A comfort level on windswept terrain is clear: Jordan also contended at Troon in 2024 and logged five DP World Tour top-10s last season, earning a spot in the DP World Tour Championship. His 2025 resume features U.S. Open qualification at Walton Heath plus T9 at the Soudal Open, T6 in Singapore and 12th at the Hero Indian Open. Chivers conceded the sample size is small but argued that two straight Open top-10s prove Jordan can threaten a place payout again, especially with bookmakers routinely offering 10 places each-way.

Matt Cradock backed Matthew Jordan at +3000, arguing the Englishman’s form screams ‘winner-in-waiting.’ Jordan owns four top-20 finishes in his last six starts of 2025 and nearly captured this event last year, finishing solo fifth after rounds of 64-70-69-65. Cradock emphasized that Jordan ranked 6th in strokes-gained tee-to-green over the last eight weeks on the DP World Tour and already knows how to go low around Rinkven. On a course where double-digit under par is mandatory, Cradock sees Jordan’s elite scoring average (67.8 over his last 16 rounds) as the final piece for a breakthrough victory.
