Justin Thomas' WGC win has resonated with punters...
With the first major of the golf season just days away, punting action now turns towards Harding Park, where the PGA Championship will be held this weekend.
But who is the favourite to win the PGA Championship? Are there any early market movers? What chance do some of the top British golfers have?
Oddschecker has taken a look at the first major of the season.
Who is the favourite?
Well, there are two. Fresh off his win, Justin Thomas (10/1) and two-time defending champ Brooks Koepka (10/1) are the joint-favourites ahead of the weekend.
The pair battled it out on Sunday night (August 2nd) at the WGC St Jude, and both lead the market, ahead of Memorial winner Jon Rahm (14/1).
Rory McIlroy is available at the same price as the Spaniard (14/1), then comes big-hitting Bryson DeChambeau (16/1) rounding off the top five.

Any market movers?
The two heading the market have been well supported, particularly off the back of the final round at St Jude.
Koepka has attracted 11% of all bets in the last 24 hours, whilst Thomas has accounted for 4%.
A sea of blue has can also be found on Dustin Johnson (22/1), Xander Schauffele (22/1) and Daniel Berger (40/1).
What chance do UK golfers have?
There are a host of top UK names competing this weekend, with McIlroy obviously the shortest price in the field.
Matthew Fitzpatrick enjoyed a tremendous weekend at the St Jude and has been accordingly backed into 45/1 to win his first ever major.
Tyrell Hatton didn’t have as much luck and looks a lengthy price at 50/1. Tommy Fleetwood is a shade longer at 55/1, whilst Matt Wallace is available at the 125/1 range.
