Early Odds On the 2009 US Open At Bethpage Black

It’s not too early to start thinking about the 2009 US Open as it returns to Bethpage Black. Tiger Woods was the winner last time the US Open was held at Bethpage. And he’s the odds on favorite to do it again, having been placed at 5/2 by the oddsmakers at Bodog Life.

For those not in the know, odds are read by looking at the second number first. So, a bet of 2 on Tiger pays 5.

It’s no surprise to anyone who watched their thundering charge at The Masters that Phil Mickelson is next with 8/1 odds. If Tiger and Phil play the way they had at Augusta, one of them should win running away. Padraig Harrington and Geoff Ogilvy at 16/1 and Jim Furyk at 25/1 round out the top five.
