Calling the 55-1 number a misprice, Iain MacMillan advised betting Keegan Bradley to win The Memorial. Bradley sits fifth in the field in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green over the last six months and is gaining +1.63 strokes per round in that span—elite ball-striking rarely attached to such long odds. He is fresh off a T8 at the PGA Championship, confirming recent form. MacMillan added that a win would bolster Bradley’s bid to serve as a player-captain for Team USA at the upcoming Ryder Cup, giving the veteran extra motivation this week.

Iain MacMillan recommended Corey Conners at +3300, calling him an ideal course fit because Muirfield Village rewards accuracy over raw length. Conners is 11th on Tour in driving accuracy, ninth in greens-in-regulation, and fifth in scrambling from the rough this season—skills MacMillan thinks give him a tangible edge on Jack Nicklaus’ penal layout. The Canadian has two top-20 finishes here in the past three years and is in rock-solid form with seven top-20s in his last eight starts. MacMillan views 33-1 as tangible value on a player whose skill set directly matches the venue’s demands.

Iain MacMillan said Justin Thomas is his favorite outright bet at +1800. Thomas ranks second in the entire Memorial field in True Strokes Gained over the last six months and already owns a 2025 victory at the RBC Heritage, something several peers near the top of the odds board cannot claim. MacMillan believes the number bakes in an overreaction to Thomas’ missed cut at the PGA Championship; prior to that hiccup, his form was trending up. Because Muirfield Village relentlessly rewards elite iron play, MacMillan expects Thomas’ approach game to keep him in contention all four days and sees the 18-1 price as a rare discount on a premier ball-striker.
