Latest Open Championship 2010 Betting Odds See Tiger Woods And Rory McIlroy Shorten After Good Starts Thursday 15 July 2010 at 12:26 Tiger Woods has made a bright start at the Open Championship 2010 and consequently his odds to win a fourth Open Championship have shortened.
Woods Birdie Blitz Worries Bookies
Any concerns about Tiger Woods' state of mind or current form have been laid to rest with the fourteen-time Major Champion recording four birdies in his first twelve holes. Bookmakers reacted by shortening Woods into a best priced (at the time of writing) 5/1 with Ladbrokes and Coral.
Woods and the other early starters have taken advantage of relatively benign conditions in direct contrast to the horrendous weather that caused yesterday's Champions Challenge to be cancelled.
McIlroy Takes Early Lead At St Andrews
Rory McIlroy had been well backed in the betting odds in the run-up to the 2010 Open Championship and that confidence looks to have been well placed as the twenty-one year old from Northern Ireland has raced to -8 and the head of the early leaderboard.
McIlroy, who recently recorded his maiden win on the US PGA tour, has so far shot an error free round with eight birdies and has the bookies running for cover as his odds have tumbled in to a current (at the time of writing) best of 11/2 with Skybet and Boylesports
Mickelson Hopes For Better Luck In Britain
Current US Masters Champion Phil Mickelson does not have the best record in the Open Championship and he will be hoping to improve on his record in the UK this week at St Andrews. In sixteen visits to the British Open Mickelson has only made the top ten once (2004) but he did also finish eleventh at St Andrews in 2000 so perhaps he can challenge for the claret jug in 2010. Mickelson is a best priced 20/1 with Bet365 and William Hill.
