Sky Bet golf punter wins big on Scottish Open and John Deere Classic double


One Sky Bet customer enjoyed a weekend to remember when landing an incredible 150801/1 golf double by predicting the Scottish Open and John Deere Classic winners.

Brandon Stone, who was 500/1 before the tournament started, was first to oblige when producing a scintillating exhibition of golf to seal the Scottish Open title.

The South African was still three shots off the lead when beginning his final round but strung together a host of birdies to shoot 60, only narrowly missing out on recording the circuit's first ever round of 59.

Stone went on to win by four shots and set up the possibility of a monster £158,477 payout for one lucky golf fan.

Having staked £1 each-way before both tournaments got underway on Thursday, the Sky Bet customer was now relying on Michael Kim, backed at 300/1 for the John Deere Classic, to secure the life-changing winning bet.

Kim didn't disappoint, maintaining the commanding lead he held from the conclusion of the second round and easing to an impressive eight-shot success.

It was to be a first PGA Tour victory for Kim and made one Sky Bet customer considerably richer in the process.

Sky Bet spokesman Sandro Di Michele said: "What a brilliant bet and hats off to the winning customer.

"To pick out one three-figure golf winner is good going but to get two in the same double is fantastic tipping and the massive payout is well deserved.

"With the Open now only days away, it gives golf fans a real taste of what can be achieved from relatively small stakes and some serious studying."
