Bet the 2008 British Open Championship
The Favorites: Padraig Harrington, Greg Norman
Oddsmakers have made 2007 British Open defending champion Padraig Harrington as a 3/1 favorite. Harrington currently sits at +4 over par after shooting 74 in Round 1, 68 in Round 2 and 72 in Round 3 for a total score of 214. Harrington’s opening odds were 16/1.
Only one golfer has a better score than Harrington and that’s Australian pro Greg Norman, who also has 3/1 odds to win the 2008 British Open Championship. Norman currently sits at 212 after shooting a 70 in Round 1, 70 in Round 2 and 72 in Round 3.
The Values: K.J. Choi, Simon Wakefield
K.J. Choi will enter the final round at 214, same as Harrington. Choi opened at 66/1 to win, but now has 4/1 odds to win the 2008 British Open Championship. The Korean golfer has shot a 72, 67 and 75, respectively.
Simon Wakefield might be the best value at 22/1 odds to win the 2008 British Open Championship. Wakefield is just three strokes behind the leader Norman and just finished his best round at 70 in Round 3. He had a 71 in Round 1 and 74 in Round 2.
The Sleeper Long Shot: Sergio Garcia
While Sergio Garcia currently has a +9 over par, he’s still a tremendous long shot sleeper based on his opening and updated odds. Oddsmakers made him an 8/1 favorite at the opening of the British Open, yet now has 20/1 odds to win. If he comes to play in the final round, he might be a outstanding value bet.
