Many wagering fans were disappointed when Big Brown screwed up at Belmont Stakes, making them hesitate with special events and stick to the traditional sports betting. But I hope they change their minds now that the 2008 Golf US Open is coming.
For starters, it will be easy to follow the event with Prime Time coverage on ESPN and NBC. According to the US Open TV schedule, the action will be on air this Thursday since 1pm ET, and extending even to 10pm on the first rounds.
But the most important reason for you to stay tuned will be the tight competition at the golf tournament with several stars that assure this will be their year. Phil Mickelson is one of the big contenders, and others could give a huge surprise like Jim Furyk. Don’t underestimate this guy, even though he seems to be a plain dog in the US Open betting lines! His record is actually good enough to expect a good performance.
Of course, those players (and all the rest) will be somehow outshined by the return of top golf player Tiger Woods, who’s been out of the golf course since April, due to a knee surgery. Everybody is over Woods to see how he does at Torrey Pines, and basically waiting for him to be a reason for scandal and news coverage. The U.S. Open is just about to start and they’re already nagging him over nothing! Just a simple comment made by him about Phil Mickelson (where Tiger did nothing but say good things about him) seemed to pull the trigger and have everybody saying his remarks were racist and he wouldn’t have spoken like that if Mickelson were African-American. Seriously! Is it me or Golf people need a life? They really dig too deep and try to find controversy and outrageous scandals on any little, meaningless thing.
Anyway, the forecast looks really interesting for golf betting fans, and the ones that haven’t showed much interest in it, maybe should give it a try. Get ready to tee off!!
