US Open Golf Betting 2010
After a ten year absence the United States Open Championship returns to Pebble Beach, California for the fifth time. The US Open 2010 runs from June 17 to June 20 and will be the second of the season’s golf majors. US Open Golf Betting 2010 promises to be as popular as ever amongst online punters.
US Open 2010 Winner Betting
It is no surprise to see Tiger Woods chalked up as the bookmaker favourite in the US Open Golf Betting 2010. His return to action in April’s US Masters was, although ultimately unsuccessful, mightily impressive given the length of his absence from competitive golf prior to the event. Phil Mickelson went on to claim his third green jacket at Augusta this year and he is the bookmaker’s second favourite in the US Open Golf Betting 2010.
The European challenge will be led by Lee Westwood and Padraig Harrington who share third favouritism in the betting markets. They will be bidding to become the first European to win the US Open since Tony Jacklin did so at Hazeltine National Golf Club back in 1970, and will be joined by the likes of Ian Poulter, Paul Casey, Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia in that race.
Aside from betting on who will win the US Open there are also a wide range of US Open Golf Betting 2010 markets for punters to get involved with on a daily basis. Including 3-ball and 2-ball betting, who will be the leader after the first round, second round and third rounds, which players will make the cut, what score will make the cut, number of hole-in-one’s and many, many more US Open Golf Betting 2010 markets.
US Open Betting Pebble Beach
It was in the year 2000 at Pebble Beach that Tiger Woods won the first of his three US Open titles. He did so with a score of -12, 15 shots better than second placed Ernie Els and Miguel Angel Jimenez, and the largest margin of victory in any major championship in the history of golf.
Tiger has since gone on to win the 2002 US Open at Bethpage State Park and the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines – which remains the most recent of Tiger’s 14 Major Championships.
Pebble Beach is widely regarded as one of the most picturesque golf courses in the world, and certainly on the US Open circuit. It has four par 3’s and four par 5’s and will be over 7,000 yards in length for this year’s US Open having been renovated by none other than Arnold Palmer. The renovation included the addition of new tee boxes on holes 3, 9, 10, 11 and 13 and a new set of bunkers along the left side on hole number 6. Whoever emerges as victorious in the US Open Betting 2010 will need to be very much on top of their game over the course of the four days.
