The betting on the 2009 US Open at Bethpage Black seems to have tightened a bit among the top ten. Compare the current top ten with a month ago.

May 18, 2009 Odds For US Open
Tiger Woods 9/4

The odds seem to be swinging against Phil, but bettors have tightened things up with Harrington, Ogilvy and Furyk. And after Ogilvy’s performance at the Memorial today, there may be even more money heading in his direction.
I can see why Tiger is the favorite, but I’m surprised that given his erratic play since his return that he’s such a firm betting favorite.
