Latest US Open Golf 2010 Betting Odds Sees Tiger Woods Only Joint Favourite
Monday 14 June 2010 at 16:35
 Regular golf punters could be slightly surprised when surveying the US Open Golf 2010 Betting Odds to not see the name of Tiger Woods at the top of all the bookmakers lists. For what must be the first time in a number of years, thirty-four-year-old Woods is not clear favourite for a Major Championship.
Absence, Injury and Poor Form Cause Woods To Slip To Joint Favourite
It seems only yesterday that bookmakers were pricing up Tiger Woods at odds of 6/4 or shorter to win golf tournaments but yet the fourteen-time Major Champion is a potentially huge price of 8/1 with Ladbrokes and Betfred to win the US Open 2010.
A combination of Woods' self-imposed break from golf (November 09-April 10), a neck injury during the Players Championship and an overall level of form not normally associated with the World Number One, mean that Woods is now being challenged for favouritism in this event.
Masters Champ Mickelson Looking For First US Open Win
2010 US Masters Champion Phil Mickelson is challenging Tiger Woods for favouritism at Pebble Beach in the US Open Golf 2010 Betting Odds despite yet to have won a US Open. Mickelson has come agonisingly close to lifting the US Open, finishing runner-up on no less than five occasions. However, Mickelson has won three times at Pebble Beach in other tournaments so he must have a great chance of winning his second Major of the season. Mickelson is 8/1 with Ladbrokes to win the US Open 2010.
Strong European Challenge At Pebble Beach
Lee Westwood won on US soil last weekend for the first time in twelve years and the thirty-seven year old from Worksop will be looking to finally win his first Major Championship after coming so close on many occasions. Westwood is 12/1 with Blue Square and 888Sport to win back to back tournaments. Also high up in the US Open Golf 2010 Betting Odds are other European players Padraig Harrington, Rory McIlroy and Luke Donald. Three-time Major winner Harrington is 28/1 with Sportingbet to add to his tally of Majors, McIlroy is the same price 28/1 with Stan James and recent European Tour winner Donald is a well-backed 40/1 chance with Coral.
