2010 US Open Golf Betting Lines Probabilities

The US Open betting is always unique but this season it will be extra unique as the 2010 edition of the US Open Golf Championships will be hosted at Pebble Beach. As any sports betting lover that has ever bet on US Open odds understands, this event and this golf course have a very unique relationship. The truth is, if the US Open betting competition were ever decide on a permanent site instead of the traditional rotation between top courses, there’s no doubt that Pebble Beach would be its location of choice.

The US Open betting competition holds a special place in the hearts and minds of all golf betting aficionados. It is definitely the most difficult of any of the Majors and in a lot of years the most difficult format of any tournament on the golf betting calendar.

This season Pebble Beach will be as gorgeous and exceptional as ever with its huge vistas of the rugged Pacific Coast line and its magnificent signature holes.

But do not be fooled by what you see. This is still the US Open betting competition and this is still the toughest course layout of the year. Aside from being as difficult as ever, Pebble Beach will play particularly difficult throughout the US Open betting tournament as the tee boxes will be moved back, pin placements expanded and the challengers are going to have to cover 7,040 yards in 18 holes after the Arnold Palmer makeovers.

Any time you combine that kind of distance with a links style course layout and the potential for wind gust to spray balls everywhere there is quite little room for error.

Certainly when you’re talking about that kind of distance it favors the lengthy ball hitters and all but takes the European-style participants out of the golf betting hunt.

It’s little wonder that Tiger Woods is the 2010 US Open odds favorite at 6:1. And it’s also no shocker that world #2 Phil Mickelson is 2nd in the US Open odds at roughly 7:1. These two men are obviously the best participants on earth and part of an elite group that is both lengthy enough off the tee and precise enough with their wedges to conquer the Pebble Beach course.

Nevertheless, the potential for disaster is so great that even a few poor shots could derail their US Open betting title hopes and that leaves lots of space for a dark horse contender to arise in this year’s betting.

The US Open this season will be hosted from June 17-20. It’s the first time to be played at the gorgeous Pebble Beach Golf Links since 2000, though the 5th time that it will be hosted there. It’s also going to be the first year to test a new guideline on grooves. Grooves in clubs should have less volume and more rounded edges in the new rules, in an effort to limit the amount of spin. The concept is to force the golf player to concentrate more on keeping the ball in the fairway than driving it far. It is to be seen if this new guideline has any impact at all on the US Open.
