    Us open golf

    Just back from the bookies and couldnt believe it when I saw who they were making 6-1 favourite to win- tiger woods.
    Dont know how they get that but it's very poor value. As yet I'm undecided so will probably end up betting big phil mickelson.

    get online woods is 17/2 and it takes a brave man to lay him at much bigger,i'm expecting ricky fowler to win a major soon but was hoping for bigger than 40/1

      the course is a nightmare if you miss the fairways,

      Jim Furyk 35/1 e.w. for me.

        Jason Dufner 25-1 Ernie Els 66-1 Matt Kuchar 30-1. What are the odds Tiger plays bad and claims he's hurt?

            woods 1 under after 1st round and in to 9/4 the price might drift a little if somebody cards 3 or 4 under from one of the later rounds,

              Seems a very tough course judging by the scores- isn't it great watching the best golfers on the planet struggle.
              Good start from woods, but can he show the mental strength that has been missing of late.

                  Just catching up on the golf,hoping the likes of Westwood,Mclroy and Donald havn't blown it.
                  Not many birdies out there on this course and not overly long so plays into Woods hands hence the lack of Driver off the tee.
                  Even par wont be far off come Sunday.

                    The course seems to tough but fair. Its about time but wait and see on weekend if they continue to water the greens so they don't get too fast.

                      Sorry, but this isn't a true test of golf, it's closer to crazy golf than a test of golf skills. reens that are impossible to allow control or even read putts do not test skill, rather they set a rabbits foot into the hand of the luckiest golfer on the day! Disappointing to say the least!

                        Thing is when it comes to golf when you see scores of upwards of 20 under par does that constitute an easy course ? what do you reckon is a proper test of skill when it comes to golf.

                        Is it better to have an all round game or be lucky when it comes to putting mad greens ?

                          The US open is always like this. They usually let the greens get too fast. The one thing you can always count on is if you don't drive it in the fairway you don't have a chance. I think if the rough is going to be high the greens shouldn't be so fast. If the greens are going to be like linoleum the rough needs to no higher than 2 inch. This is why i really don't like the US open. The British Open is much better test of golf.

                            Time McIlroy got rid of his chick and concentrated on his golf, its glaringly obvious that one is effecting the other!

                              just think the course doesnt suit his aggressive play to be honest,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, its a game of patience out there which rory isnt known for

                              biggest suprise for me is tiger as his patience levels are usually v low i think we can expect a flare up in todays 3rd round
