Tips And Offers For The British Open Championship 2011 Wednesday 13 July 2011 at 10:39 The British Open Championship gets underway on Thursday at Royal St George’s and there are high hopes for a British winner this year according to the latest British Open Odds but how do the best OLBG tipsters rate their chances.
Half Of Tipsters Have Gone For McIlroy Or Westwood
Rory McIlroy remains the most tipped player at the British Open 2011 in the OLBG Tipster competition, he is currently taking 24.7% of the tips and that is no huge surprise considering his recent form and the fact that he is favourite to win The Open, his current odds are 10/1 with Bet365 which look pretty generous considering he is just 7/1 with many other bookies. There seems to be a bit of value on Lee Westwood though according to many forum users, SmoggyFever makes a great case for Westwood finishing in the money at least:
”Can lee Westwood finally make a serious charge at winning this competition. I think he can and at 10/1 i'll go for him straight up to win this.
He's got what this course needs, a cracking recent OPEN record plus the fact he loves these kind of courses anyway.
Looking back over the years, he's had so many top ten's at seaside courses, 5 in the last two years, including two Alfred Dunhill great performances in recent time.
His last two open appearances have resulted in a 3rd and 2nd respectively, so he knows how to play these courses.
A 4th in 2004 means he's used to it and at the flagship tourneys this year, he's been within the top 20 in all of them so far.
11 contests this year and he's made the cut in all of them, and prior to the 14th last week, he had made the top ten in 4 straight. I like the odds, and i like his setup coming into this.”
Lee Westwood has attracted 21.9% of the tips for the British Open 2011 so far which means he is only just behind the favourite McIlroy and at 14/1 with William Hill he represents great each way value.
