The US Open betting is obviously 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. This event and this golf course have a very special relationship, as any sports betting enthusiast who has ever bet on US Open odds appreciates. In fact, there is no doubt that Pebble Beach would be its location of choice if the US Open betting tournament were to ever settle on a permanent site instead of the traditional rotation between top courses.
The US Open betting competition holds a special place in the hearts and minds of all golf betting enthusiasts. It is certainly the most challenging of any of the Majors and in many years the most challenging layout of any competition on the golf betting calendar.
With its sweeping vistas of the rugged Pacific Coast line and its magnificent signature holes, this year Pebble Beach will be as beautiful and exceptional as ever.
But do not let what you see deceive you. This remains the toughest course layout of the year, and this remains the US Open betting tournament. Apart from being as challenging as ever, Pebble Beach will play especially challenging during the US Open betting competition as the tee boxes are going to be moved back, pin placements stretched and the challengers must cover 7,040 yards in 18 holes following the Arnold Palmer renovations.
When you combine the possibility for wind gust to spray balls in all directions and that sort of distance with a links style course layout there is very little margin for error.
Of course when you’re talking about that sort of distance it likes the prolonged ball hitters and basically takes the European-style players out of the golf betting hunt.
It’s little shock that Tiger Woods is the US Open odds favorite at 6:1. And it’s also no shocker that world #2 Phil Mickelson is second in the US Open odds at around 7:1. These 2 men are obviously the top players on earth and part of an elite group that is both prolonged enough off the tee and accurate enough with their wedges to overcome the Pebble Beach course.
Nonetheless, the possibility for disaster is so great that just a few bad shots may derail their US Open betting title hopes and that leaves lots of space for a dark horse contender to come up in this year’s betting.
The US Open this year will be hosted from June 17-20. It’s the 1st time to be played at the gorgeous Pebble Beach Golf Links since 2000, however the 5th time that it’ll be hosted there. It’s also going to be the 1st year to test a new rule on grooves. Grooves in clubs must have less volume plus more rounded edges in the new rules, in an attempt to limit the amount of spin. The theory is to force the golfer to concentrate more on keeping the ball in the fairway than driving it far. Whether or not this new rule has any impact at all on the US Open is still to be seen.
