US Open Golf 2010 Betting Odds Have Tiger Woods And Phil Mickelson As Joint Favourites
Thursday 17 June 2010 at 11:14
 The US Open Golf 2010 Betting Odds see Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson battling it out for favouritism. Will Tiger Woods record his fifteenth Major win or will Phil Mickelson finally record a win in a US Open. Or will a European player spoil the American party.
Bookies Keen To Take On Tiger Woods
Two-time US Open winner Tiger Woods is at first glance an amazing price of 8/1 with William Hill and Paddy Power in the US Open Golf 2010 Betting Odds but the well publicised personal and playing problems of the World Number One could make him look a risky proposition even at such lofty odds. Woods' driving has been the weakest part of his game since he returned to competitive golf and that area will need to be spot on to win a US Open.
Mickelson Looking To Continue Love Affair With Pebble Beach
Phil Mickelson won the 2010 US Masters in fantastic style and is looking to make it two Majors out of two in the 2010 season in the US Open at Pebble Beach. The roster has been kind to Mickelson as whilst he has never won a US Open (five times a runner-up!) he has won at this course three times before in other events so he must believe this is his year to finally get his hands on a US Open trophy. However, like Woods, Mickelson's driving has been very erratic this year and Pebble Beach will have been toughened up to make it US Open standard so Mickelson's famous short game will have to be at its very best if he is to go close this week. Only Ladbrokes stand alone at offering 8/1 about Mickelson for this event so take advantage before it's too late!
Europeans Looking For First US Open Win In Forty Years
The US Open has proved illusive to the European challengers since Tony Jacklin won at Hazeltine in 1970, so it must be about time they won it again! Europe has a strong supporting cast this year with recent US PGA Tour winner Lee Westwood a 12/1 chance with Boylesports and Stan James to continue his fine run of form. Luke Donald recently won in Europe at the Madrid Masters and his steady game has been well supported to do well this week at Pebble Beach. Donald is a 33/1 shot with VC Bet. Also to be considered for Europe is two-time British Open winner Padraig Harrington. The Irishman has a decent record at Pebble Beach and Sportingbet look to have gone too far in pushing the three-time Major winner out to 33/1 for the US Open 2010. This looks a great each-way price and Harrington also appeals at 5/1 with Paddy Power and Stan James to win the Top GB and Ireland player market.
