"It would be an amazing feat were Kaymer to win three in a row and certainly a decent number of our punters have backed him to win again at Turnberry," said Rupert Adams, spokesperson for William Hill.
Meanwhile, Paddy Power makes Kaymer 10/3 to finish in the top ten and 13/10 to make the top 20 at the Open.
