Golf Sportsbook – Tiger and Phil Are Horrible Underlays to Finish in the Top 10 at the USPGA Championship

gambling guru — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 20:55:23 +0000

Considering that Tiger Woods acknowledged that he is reworking his swing, and that his personal issues have affected his game, it’s mind boggling that he’s the second choice in the golf sportsbook to win this week’s USPGA Championship.
What’s more mind boggling is that he’s going off at even money golf odds to finish in the Top 10 at this week’s USPGA…

No one is quite sure when it happened, but it seems like over the last couple years, players from Ireland and Great Britain have taken over the sport of golf.
The names are familiar: Rory McIlroy. Padraig Harrington. Justin Rose. It’s amazing how many great players descend from such a small part of the world.

Tiger Woods makes an impressive start at the US PGA Championship

gambling guru — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 20:35:48 +0000

� Woods birdies first two holes of his opening round
� Play finally begins after a delay of more than three hours

Tiger Woods emerged from the fog � in the air and perhaps in his head too � to make the perfect start to the final major of the season today.

Bad visibility delayed the start of the US PGA Championship for over three hours at the Whistling Straits course in Wisconsin. But when conditions eventually cleared, the world No1 � a shocking joint 78th out of 80 in last week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio � birdied his first two holes.

Two under par after two holes was a massive improvement on 18 over par after 72 in Akron, and it instantly made him part of a seven-way tie for the lead.

Not for long, though, as the German Martin Kaymer, in the group ahead, followed an eagle at the long 11th with a birdie on the next.

Woods, needing a top-15 finish to have a chance of automatic selection for the United States Ryder Cup team, sank a 12-foot putt on the 361-yard 10th and then holed from eight at the 618-yard next.

Both were accompanied by a huge roar from a crowd eager to see him return to former glories after a troubled year on and off the course following damaging revelations of extra-marital affairs.

England’s Luke Donald also birdied the 10th and remained one under after five, but both compatriot Paul Casey and Ireland’s Padraig Harrington, each of them outside qualifying positions on Europe’s Ryder Cup table with three weeks to go in that race, ran up bogey sixes at the 11th.

The Scot Stephen Gallacher was the first European on to the spectacular course on the edge of Lake Michigan. He bogeyed the third, but came back with a birdie on the long fifth, while his fellow countryman Martin Laird bogeyed the first, but made two at the 181-yard third.

Alongside Woods on two under were Stuart Appleby, Jason Day, the Aberdeen-born Michael Sim and the Dane Soren Kjeldsen.

The length of the delay made it touch and go whether the first round would be completed before nightfall.

Ian Poulter, another morning starter, had made an important decision on his clubs. Poulter had practised with a new set of irons after his usual ones fell off a golf buggy and were dragged along a path.

The faces were unaffected, but because of the scuff marks at the bottom the world No10 gave himself the option before the event. “I’m going to go with the old ones. I don’t like looking down at them so much now, but just know how they behave,” he said.

Tiger Woods’s issues on the golf course are way more than those of the mental variety. Yes, obviously, you can’t go through what Tiger went through in his personal life and not have it affect you on the golf course, but Woods’s lack of terrific play in 2010 goes back to the single most important aspect of a successful athlete.
