US Open 2011 *see mod post 348

slumped

I think this is one of the most wide open majors in the last 10 years.

Westwood and Donald as favourites are good bets at 10/1

My money is on Shane Lowry EW at 125/1.

Out first on Thursday, noon on Friday.

A good start in cool conditions should stand to him.

Played well in heat in Abu Dhabi last year.

Hits it long and straight, the longest course in US Open history!

Who you on??

fatalll

I agree it is wide open.
I fancy Stricker taking it this year, he is plating really well at the moment.

Of course Mickleson will want to win this too as I dont think he has one it before and time is running out and he may not have a better chance.

unfortunately dont think McElroy or Harrington will win, McDowell will do well though.

Just hoping its a good tourney...

Going with retief goosen but only should he not win tonight

he should be 1125/1 imo,he just doesn't have the all round game to compete,in fact i'd say he's odds on to miss the cut
have Donald backed since the start of the year at odds of 25/1 down to my last bet on him last week at 14's,havn't backed anyone else.......yet

Ct25

Donald @10 & KJ @ 33 for me.

thinking now, Mickleson & Dustin Johnson will be the ones to watch!

Jaysus slumped you were mugged, available at 250/1 in places

MisterAnarchy

I cant see Luke Donald winning on such a long course,he isnt the longest of hitters.

dvemail

Have to fancy McIlroy doing well here, this course will require a long straight hitter.
But his short game will have to be on song. Could suit Mickelson with his short game skills.
Think the course will be too long for the likes of Donald and McDowell even though he is sneaky long.

Fursttimer

Aaron Baddeley

Kace

Masters longest driver McIlroy should definitely there Sunday afternoon!

Dr.Silly

Camilo Villegas, Jason Day, and Adam Scott for me.

breffni bogballer

donald will have a decent chance despite being short off the tee. a lively outsider is f [EMAIL="molinari@150/1"]molinari@150/1[/EMAIL]

Dero123

Jason Day and KJ for me

Mr. Larson

This time I'm going for Mickleson (12/1), Ogilvy (50/1) and Allenby (100/1).

Fiver each way on all three.

dines08

Had Schwartzel €10 each way for The Masters. Made a nice €400 off it. Looking at Kj for this one. Always there or there abouts. Putts brilliantly on fast greens.

Aidric

Watney (28/1), Villegas (100/1) & Noren (200/1) all e/w.

I'll be backing Harrington to miss the cut also but can't find an open market on that yet.

foxyboxer

I'd go with Matt Kuchar.
Definitely has major credentials in his game.

shaggykev

i think Anthony Kim is a huge price

has been rank rotten this season(hence the huge price) but loves it around this course

AGC

KJ is the bet for me. 33's and has won there. Will also do Garcia(60's), decent form despite last week and has won there.

Going to do Westwood and Mickleson from the fav's and a few quid on Scott. Williams is caddying for him.

Kuchar you will get your monies worth

Uncle Mclovin

Dustin Johnson would be my favourite. Only problem is that he regularly coughs up a double which can kill momentum. He's 25/1 with PP


You'd have to fancy Watney (30/1) and Westwood (11/1) for their ability to hit fairways.



Of the young 'uns I'd have to say Rickie Fowler (75/1)



Outsider - Adam Scott (60/1).


Just for the record. The whole needing to be a long hitter thing is just a myth. Plenty of shorter hitters have won on long courses. Hitting FIR's is far more important than distance.

SSK

It's wide open really, I fancy some of the lesser heralded young guns to go well, so:

Day @ 50/1
Baddeley @ 66/1
Byrd @ 80/1

Can't see any of the rank outsides contending on such a tough course.

A.Partridge

Have a weird feeling that Sergio might (finally) come good this week ?

His tee to green game is excellent and his putting has picked up a lot.

Just have a hunch he might be there or thereabouts.

BillyBoy

Gone with

R.McIlroy 18/1
D.Johnson 25/1
J.Day 50/1
YE Yang 100/1

dolally

I'll be going with
Mahan 22/1
Kucher 25/1
Watney 30/1

Outside bet..Cabrera 100/1

Throw away money outside fantasy bet..Colsaerts 250/1:D
All PP. Pays first 6 e/w.

staker

See Adam Scott has Tiger's caddy Stevie Williams on the bag, he's gotta be worth a few bob.

elbows666

Cabrera and Van Pelt for me

1916

You'd wonder how they miss a putt with this kind of assistance

http://twitpic.com/5b8mfh

staker

This is how I'd end up walking onto the green:pac:
Talk about overkill!!

poteen

After my disaster bet that was Ross Fisher at the Welsh open, im back betting again.
Hers my list:

Rory Mcilroy
Brandt Snedeker
Bubba Watson
Donald
Hunter Mahan

All e/w money. Its the only way to go

obviously not using betfair!

I got him on Friday at 44/1 and he was -4, only four off the lead

fonda

I tipped Scwartzel on boards before the masters and had him @ 90 to 1

kano476

PP paying 6 places at the moment. Backed Donald 14/1 KJ 33/1 and outside bet of Manassero at 70/1. Had yang before the masters and was nearly tempted to back him again thought he was in with a shout there for a while just fell off the pace a bit!

LuckyGent88

Went with Rory McIlroy @ 18/1, Mannasero @ 70/1 and Byrd @ 80/1

KombuchaMshroom

Hunter Mahan for me @ 22/1 is a great bet! Has pretty decent recent major record with plenty of top 10s and has a great record at the Congressional.

Lucas Glover @ 60/1 for my outside bet then.

Fiver each way on all three.

Ogilvy is 80-1 with Ladbrokes

Only one Keano

In last 4 PGA Tournaments played here winners were Garcia, Choi, Kim and Woods.

Furyk and Huntar Mahan have always finished well at this course as well so could be worth an each way bet.

Only one Keano

Degag

Have done a few small e/ws on

Quiros
Poulter
Fowler
Laird
Crane
Dufner
Simpson

Going to pick one from Phil, Kuchar, Mahan or Watney as my main bet. Still thinking but Watney is seriously tempting me.

poteen

Ok , I just did my bets at Ladbrokes theer at Lunch. A change of tactics from my earlier post. All Small bets and all to win

Bubba 40/1
Hunter 25/1
Phil 16/1
Alvaro Quiros 100/1
Rory 20/1
Jason day 50/1
B Snedeker 66/1

Ormus

i went a fiver each way on karlsson (66-1) and lowry (250-1)

come on shane

Johnny_Fontane

Rory McIlroy 23 €4.00 €88.00
Bubba Watson 48 €4.00 €188.00
Aaron Baddeley 110 €4.00 €436.00
Rory Sabbatini 170 €4.00 €676.00

betfair.......

lowry is 500/1 on betfair, if you think he's going to win, it sort of worth your while!!!

Ormus

i've already laid my bets

don't wanna get involved in betfair as it would turn me into a regular gambler

i don't really think lowry will win, anyone who does is crazy, i just think he is unpredictable and 250/1 gives good value for the chance he will go on a birdie streak

yep, and betfair giving 500/1 apparently

still, at least i did better than paddy powers odds of 125/1

The_Kew_Tour

Betfair is the way to go if your backing anything over 80/1 in some cases you get double or more for players with 150/1 in bookies.
