My 3 guys have quite late tee times today, so decided to have a flutter on Round 1 leader market for a bit of interest.
Thomas Bjorn £2.50 e/w Rnd1 leader @ 125/1
He's out quite early so will have the best of the greens. His experienced head should bode well on a testing course.
The first 6 holes are reportedly the hardest opening 6 holes in US Open history. Bjorn however starts on the other side of the course, so will be well into his round when he meets those 6 holes.
I'm backing Westwood for this. £20 e/w @ 12/1 Also did some little £1 e/w bets on outsiders.. Mainly just to place but you never know. Patrick Cantlay - 250/1 Freddie Jac - 150/1 Cabrera Bello - 300/1 Posted by FlashFlush
2 players right in the mix!
I actually had £2 e/w on Freddie as he was 150/1. So in terms of return it's better for me to have Freddie win than Westy, but as so many people have backed Lee it would be good to see him win. Either way, if they both finish top 5 I'll be happy!
Phil Mickelson 22/1 £10ew Justin Rose 33/1 £5ew Jim Furyk 40/1 £5ew Aaron Baddely 125/1 £2.50 ew Jonathan Byrd 100/1£2.50ew D.A.Points 300/1 £2.50ew Posted by shuv
Sorry lads heres the winner, should he start double bogey double bogey, which knowing my luck he will, ill then start to cheer westwood on.
I am potentially in a quite nice position here. Tied first, 4th and 14th. Even Kuchar who is 14th is only 6 shots off the lead. I just hope it all doesn't go wrong!

It did all go wrong lol :-(
Got a place on Furyk finishing tied 4th. It only returned around £29 from a £5 each way bet at 35/1. I was expecting more as it said top 6 pay a quarter of the odds. Any experts out there know if it is because he finished tied 4th and not 4th outright on his own???

It's because he finished tied 4th with 5 other people. If he was tied with 1 other person they are still both top 6 and you get a full payout, but as there was effectively 8 players in the top 6 then they divide the odds a bit.
