2009 US OPEN GOLF BETTING TIPS
The last 5 years have been very atypical in the larger view of the US Open. Four of the last 5 winners have been from countries other that the United States, which is unusual in this predominantly USA dominated event.
This anomaly aside, it would be a good bet to place your money on a player from America. Likely candidates this year are Ernie Els (22/1 at SkyBet), Anthony Kim (40/1 at Victor Chandler) and Tiger Woods (11/4 at Victor Chandler).
Each Way Betting Tip for 2009 US Open Golf

Each way odds are available at 1/4 odds on places 1,2,3,4 and 5.
