We're less than 24 hours away from the opening tee shot at this week's PGA Tour event, the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

If you don't want to wait all four rounds to see if your bet cashes, then let me introduce you to first round leader bets. These bets last just for the first round, and it's a wager on which golfer will be leading the event after Thursday's action.

Let's take a look at the first round leader odds and then I'll give you my prediction.

Stephan Jaeger +6000

It may surprise you, but Stephan Jaeger has been one of the best golfers in the opening round on Tour this season. In fact, he ranks 10th in first round scoring average at 69.32.

He has also been in solid form lately, finishing T27 or better in four of his last seven starts. He enters this week ranking 55th in birdie average, which is important at what will end up being a birdie fest at Detroit Golf Club.

Finally, he finished 5th at this event last year, so he has tournament success he can lean on this week.

At 60/1, Jaeger serves as a great long shot bet to be the first round leader this week.
