The US Open wagering is usually special but this summer it will be extra special as the 2010 edition of the US Open Golf Championships will be hosted at Pebble Beach. As any sports wagering lover that has ever bet on US Open odds appreciates, this event and this golf course have a quite special relationship. Actually, there’s no doubt that Pebble Beach would be its location of choice if the US Open wagering tournament were to ever choose a permanent site rather than the traditional rotation between top courses.
The US Open wagering event holds a special place in the hearts and minds of most golf wagering enthusiasts. It’s definitely the most tricky of any of the Majors and in many years the most tricky layout of any championship on the golf wagering calendar.
This year Pebble Beach will be as stunning and amazing as ever with its huge vistas of the rugged Pacific Coast line and its stunning signature holes.
But do not let what you see fool you. This is still the hardest course layout of the year, and this is still the US Open wagering tournament. Aside from being as tricky as ever, Pebble Beach will play especially tricky throughout the US Open wagering championship as the tee boxes will be moved back, pin placements stretched and the challengers will have to cover 7,040 yards in 18 holes following the Arnold Palmer renovations.
Any time you combine that sort of distance with a links style course layout and the potential for wind gust to spray balls everywhere there is rather little room for error.
Obviously when you’re speaking about that sort of distance it favors the long ball hitters and just about takes the European-style participants out of the golf wagering hunt.
It’s little shock 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 second in the US Open odds at roughly 7:1. These 2 men are part of an elite group that is both long enough off the tee and precise enough with their wedges to overcome the Pebble Beach course, as well as plainly being the top participants on the planet.
Nonetheless, the potential for catastrophe is so high that just a few awful shots could derail their US Open wagering title hopes and that leaves lots of space for a dark horse contender to come up in this year’s wagering.
The US Open this season will be hosted from June 17-20. It’s the first time to be played at the beautiful Pebble Beach Golf Links since 2000, however the fifth time that it will be hosted there. It’s also going to be the first year to test a new guideline on grooves. Under the new rule, grooves in clubs should have less volume and more rounded edges in an effort to limit the amount of spin. The idea is to force the player to focus more on maintaining the ball in the fairway than driving it far. Whether or not this new guideline has any influence at all on the US Open remains to be seen.
