US Open in 2010 Golf Gambling Lines Probabilities
The US Open gambling is usually special but this summer it’ll be extra special as the 2010 edition of the US Open Golf Championships will be hosted at Pebble Beach. As any sports betting fan that has ever bet on US Open odds appreciates, this event and this golf course have a quite special relationship. In fact, if the US Open wagering tournament were ever decide on a perpetual site rather than the traditional rotation between top courses, there’s no doubt that Pebble Beach would be its site of choice.
The US Open gambling action holds a special place in the minds and hearts of all golf betting lovers. It’s definitely the most challenging of any of the Majors and in many years the most difficult design of any championship on the golf betting calendar.
This year Pebble Beach will be as gorgeous and amazing as ever with its huge views of the rugged Pacific Coast line and its magnificent signature holes.
But don’t allow what you see fool you. This is still the US Open wagering competition and this is still the hardest course layout of the year. Apart from being as tricky as ever, Pebble Beach will play especially tricky throughout the US Open betting championship as the tee boxes will be moved back, pin placements expanded and the competitors are going to have to cover 7,040 yards in 18 holes after the Arnold Palmer renovations.
When you combine that sort of distance with a links style course layout and the potential for wind gust to spray balls in all directions there is rather little margin for error.
Clearly when you’re dealing with that sort of distance it likes the prolonged ball hitters and just about takes the European-style competitors from the golf betting hunt.
It’s little shock that Tiger Woods is the US Open odds favorite at 6:1. And it is also no shocker that community #2 Phil Mickelson is second in the US Open probabilities at approximately 7:1. These two men are obviously the best competitors in the world and part of an elite group that is both long enough off the tee and exact enough with their wedges to overcome the Pebble Beach course.
Nonetheless, the possibility for disaster is so great that just a few awful shots might undo their US Open wagering title hopes and that leaves a lot of room for a dark horse contender to come up in this year’s wagering.
The US Open this year will be hosted from June 17-20. It’s the 5th time that it will be played at the beautiful Pebble Beach Golf Links, though the first time to be hosted there since 2000. It’s also going to be the first year to test a new rule on grooves. Grooves in clubs will need to have less volume plus more rounded edges in the new rules, in an effort to limit the amount of spin. The theory is to pressure the golfer to concentrate more on keeping the ball in the fairway than driving it long. It is still to be seen if this new guideline has any impact at all on the US Open.
