Following his win at the Memorial Tournament this morning, Tiger Woods is now the clear favourite at $6.50 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to win the 2012 US Open.
Woods was paying as much as $15 in late May but following his win this morning punters pounced.
“Punters reacted quickly this morning after he won the Memorial,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said. “He looked like the Tiger of old and punters think he’s hit form at the right time.”
Next in the market is Luke Donald at $13 followed by Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy (both $15) and Phil Mickelson ($19).
Adam Scott is the leading Australian contender at $36 with Jason Day priced at $46, Geoff Ogilvy at $67, Aaron Baddeley at $101 and John Senden at $126.
