Rory McIlroy to Miss British Open: Fantasy, Odds Upheaval

(Gamblng911.com Sports Wire) - Rory McIlroy, among the early favorites to win the 2015 British Open, has decided not to take part in the tournament due to injury.  The announcement came Wednesday afternoon.

McIlroy had been listed with the second shortest odds (7-1) to win The Open after Jordan Spieth (5-1).

McIlroy is the reigning Open champion entering next week.  A ruptured ligament in his left ankle will keep the world’s number one from playing in the Open Championship at St. Andrews.

Many Fantasy lineups were expected to be in disarray following the announcement.

"We are naturally very disappointed that Rory will be unable to defend his title at St. Andrews next week," the R&A said in a statement. "Rory will play in many more Open Championships and our primary concern is for his complete recovery." – Don Shapiro, Gambling911.com
