Us Open Golf Odds

Us Open Golf Odds - Tournament Background
Centrebet's 2007 US Open golf betting odds make it possible for punters to bet on what must be one of the toughest tests in the world of sport. The Masters has treacherous greens, the British Open has high winds and the US PGA Championship has tremendous depth but the US Open's punishing rough makes it the major tournament that strikes fear into the hearts of most players.
It is no exaggeration to say that most competitors view par as a score that could win the first prize, such are the lengths that the United States Golf Association goes to challenge the field.
The 2007 Us Open
The Henry Fownes designed 1903 classic, which has hosted more major Championships than any other course in the US, is also one of the most demanding golf courses in the US, especially when combined with what will be a tough US Open style set up.
It will call on all the skills demanded of a US Open Champion; tight fairways, severe rough, deep bunkers and undulating quick greens are the physical issues to overcome but so too will the mental aspects, on a golf course where a potential birdie can become a double bogey in a heartbeat. The winner at the end of this week will feel like he has been 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali.
Centrebet's Us Open Golf Betting Options
The range of US Open golf odds Centrebet offers does not differ greatly from our British Open prices, US Masters odds, or US PGA Championship books. Prices on the tournament winner attract much of the media attention but future odds punters are more interested in unconventional markets. Having a bet on whether or not golfers make the cut grows in popularity with every passing year. For example, you could bet on Retief Goosen not qualifying for the third and fourth rounds of the US Open.
2007 Us Open Favourites
Major stars win major tournaments so the best advice is to run the rule over the world's top 20 players just before the 2007 US Open gets under way. Wayward hitters have a terrible record in US Open tournaments so steer clear of those golfers who rank low for accuracy and maybe bet on someone like Ernie Els. He hits the middle of more fairways than most serious contenders. You can check our schedule of upcoming US PGA Golf tournaments. More information is also available at the Official PGA golf website.
Be sure to check Centrebet's 2007 US Open Form Guide before placing your bet.
