Many folks did have Jordan Spieth with payout odds of winning the Masters 2016 set at 10-1 coming into Thursday for a potential take of $1000 with every $100 wagered. BetOnline was still offering odds on Spieth to win but at drastically reduced payout odds of +140 ($140 will be won for every $100 bet).
It’s Spieth versus the Field (favored at -160) heading into Sunday’s play.
Among the Field options, one Smylie Kaufman (first name Carter), who could offer a payout of $3300 for every $100 bet before Thursday should he win.
The 24-year-old from Vestavia Hills, Alabama sits 2nd on the leaderboard. Kaufman played college golf at LSU and is in just his first full season on the PGA Tour. He turned professional just two years ago. Did we mention Smylie has a brother named Luckie?
He always had that 'It Factor' — that swagger on the golf course that not many kids have, and he just always seemed to have that," Luckie said. "It really hasn't even sunk in yet, just how incredible it is. Everyone always asks me about him, but getting to see him play at The Masters is going to be an unreal experience and it's probably going to be where everything sinks in."
