Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson

Tiger’s got one good knee and Lefty’s got home course advantage. Who are you betting on to win the US Open Championship?

Under normal circumstances a vast majority of betting action would be wagered on Tiger Woods to win the US Open. But these are not normal circumstances. Having just come out of knee surgery, Woods admits he’s not entirely sure how he’ll play this weekend at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California.

“I haven’t played in a while…competitively since the Masters,” Woods told reporters at a press conference held on Tuesday. “So getting out there and getting into the flow, and dealing with the adrenaline, dealing with the juices flying…all these different things that a lot of guys have been dealing with for a little bit and I haven’t. I’m excited about it.”

Nevertheless, Woods is favored at 5/2 odds to win the 2008 US Open Championship, while Phil Mickelson is at 7/1 odds to win. Bettors may find some value in those (Mickelson) odds as Lefty has won at Torrey Pines three times before, he practices there all the time — and he’s a fan favorite at Torrey Pines.
