US Open Prop:

I assume you're joking with your "Tiger is a steal" comment.

However, just in case you're not, laying -505 on Tiger being in the top 10 is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE BET.

I would love to be able to take the other side of that bet.

A value pick from those top-10 offerings? K.J. Choi at 10-1; he hits it straight and he's among the Tour leaders in greens in regulations. Those are the two things you have to do well in an Open. The real teeth of Bethpage isn't the greens being extremely undulating and difficult.

I think it might be fun to try as a group in this thread to come to a consensus to 4-5 guys that we all like to be in top 10. And all get behind them, we can all root for em and make money together! Sort of in the vein of the P.E.P thread going on in Players talk.

If you all are interested:

Right now I'm liking....

Mickelson +155
Goosen +385
Harrington +385
Cabrera +605
Sabbatini +785

i love poulter at +605 too, shhh

**floridagolfer** · 06-17-09, 01:34 PM

For the purposes of this game, I'll take:

Paul Casey +155
David Toms +385
Kenny Perry +485
K.J. Choi +985
D.J. Trahan +1325

**shhhhh22** · 06-17-09, 01:42 PM

Cool, lets hope more people join in! So far we only have one consensus...

K.J. Choi +985

Got till tomorrow AM to build this list!

To be honest, there are many on that list that are fair value but as risk/reward goes theres just as many that are not. This is a great bet to have if you like a player but aren't totally convinced, Heath Slocum fits that category for me.

**Squirrel** · 06-19-09, 08:28 AM

Hunter Mahan, Sean O'Hair and Kenny Perry would be my 3 if those.

**andywend** · 06-21-09, 07:12 AM

shhhh, I sure hope you didn't bet Tiger at -505 to make the top 10.

**shhhhh22** · 06-21-09, 11:55 AM
