European Top Points Scorer Likely To Be Rory McIlroy According To Ryder Cup Odds
Tuesday 21 September 2010 at 12:41
 With the 2010 Ryder Cup just under two weeks away the bookies spotlight is falling on which of the European players might hit the headlines by scoring the most points against the USA. The layers are having a hard time in agreeing on a favourite but young Northern Ireland sensation Rory McIlroy is the player heading most lists.
McIlroy Just Heading Kaymer, Westwood and G-Mac In Top Euro Betting
Rory McIlory is a best priced 6/1 with Skybet to be the top points scorer for Europe in the 2010 Ryder Cup but this market is a tight contest with six players priced between 6/1 and 10/1. PGA Champion Martin Kaymer is next in with Bet365 and Paddy Power at 13/2 and with the German in such fine current form he can be fancied to have a great Ryder Cup.
Lee Westwood has been out of action since August but has confirmed to Captain Colin Montgomerie that he is fully fit to face Team USA. Westwood has played in six previous Ryder Cups and has a won 14 lost 10 halved 5 record from his 29 matches and has always proved a tough opponent in the Ryder Cup. He would surely have been shorter than his current best quote of 8/1 with Ladbrokes if he was coming into the event with a run of full fitness. US Open winner Graeme ‘G Mac' McDowell is also rated an 8/1 shot to be European Points Scorer with Coral and Skybet.
Ian Poulter Looks Great Bet To Be Top European In Ryder Cup 2010
Ian Poulter receives a lot of press attention for his dress sense and sometimes his golf is not given the credit it deserves. Poulter has had a good season on the PGA Tour winning his first event, the World Matchplay, and finishing in the top ten at the US Masters. More importantly for the Ryder Cup he was Europe's best player by far in the defeat by the USA in 2008 winning four and losing just one game. He has an overall record of won five, lost two in his seven games and he has the passion about the event that is required for a golfer wanting to gain as many wins as possible. 10/1 about Poulter with Skybet, Totesport and Coral looks a great price and looks much more appealing than those ahead of him in the market.
