US Open golf betting
Extraordinarily, Tiger Woods is the favourite for the US Open that starts tomorrow at Torrey Pines in San Diego.
He had knee surgery 2 months ago and hasn’t played in a competition since - do the bookies really think a one-legged Tiger is more likely to win than a player like Phil Mickelson?
Regardless, the bookies’ collective naivety means there is betting value to be enjoyed by the sports punter, and Mickelson is my pick.
He’s come close so many times, only to be foiled at the eleventh hour, but this year it’s his turn. He lives just 15 minutes from the club, and he is desperate to win this major on his home course - you can back him at 8/1 with Ladbrokes (Tiger is a ridiculous 7/2).
Jim Furyk is also worth an each-way bet. Few people remember that he has finished second in the last two editions of this competition, and is available at an attractive 35/1 with Bet365.
