2010 US Open Preview – Major Chances

Phil Mickelson $8.00
At the top of his game and fires at majors. Been runner-up on five occasions and a tour winner at the course.

Steve Stricker $34.00
Has the game to go well at Pebble Beach and his skilled iron play will be well suited around this course.

Lee Westwood $12.00
Majors form is first class in recent times and his consistency cannot be faulted in recent months. Enters the open in good form and should be therabouts over the four days.

Padraig Harrington $26.00
Reliable golfer in the majors and he has won multiple majors including two British Opens and a links course is right up his alley to make him a solid show here.

Ernie Els $26.00
The big easy has returned to something like his best in recent times and he is a two time winner of this event. Top iron player when on song and that’s what is needed around these greens.

Jim Furyk $29.00
Another former winner who will appreciate this course as his all round game is perfectly suited to Pebble Beach.

Tiger Woods $8.00
The best player of all time has to be in contention and the best thing about his recent misdemeanours and not so great golf means bookies have him at ods of $8 in a golf major. Who would have thought? Can win if is on his game.

US Open Roughies

Zach Johnson $51.00
Has seven tour event wins to date including a Masters in 2007 and with his accuracy off the tee combined with his solid putting he is one to watch at $51.00

Dustin Johnson $34.00
A long hitter who is a multiple Pro-Am winner at Pebble Beach and could be suited around this layout.
