i had this too



wang was probably 100/1 . Probably about the same as Glover was at the US Open. Hardly a huge unknown like Curtis or Hamilton were, but still a pretty big upset (from a pre-tourney perspective)

[fsugolf]

he had to be a field bet so +300 probably

[head_strong]

can't imagine if these were his odds for today.....

Tiger Woods finally looked human when holding a final-round lead in a major championship.
For the first time in his career, Woods did not win a major when holding or sharing the final-round lead, stumbling to a 75 on Sunday and handing the PGA Championship to upstart Y.E. Yang of South Korea.
"It was weird to see Tiger falter down the stretch," said Michael Perry, oddsmaker at Logans.com. "Guess the guy is human after all."
Entering Sunday, Woods was 14-0 when holding or sharing the lead at the start of the final round of a major championship. He won with the outright lead a dozen times and pulled away from a share of the lead twice.
With that history, Woods was -425 to hold his two-shot lead and capture his 15th major title. But he had two bogeys on the front nine to fall into a tie with Yang, who grabbed the lead for good with an eagle chip-in that trumped Woods' birdie at the par-4 14th hole.
Woods finished bogey-bogey while Yang closed bogey-birdie for a 70-280 and a three-shot win, becoming the first Asian to win a major in the process. He was +1600 entering the final round.
"We didn't get hurt at all on future because Yang was in the field (+1500) before the tourney started," Perry said. "People hardly bet on Yang after we put up the adjusted futures after each round of play."
Yang won the Honda Classic earlier this year. He also beat Woods by two shots in the HSBC Champions in Shanghai in 2007.
Defending champion Padraig Harrington also began the day two shots back and was +500 but carded an awful 78. U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover was +3300 and shot 74-286, one stroke behind Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy.

There were some places that had Yang +15000 (150-1) before the tourney


WOODS 6/4 TO FAIL IN 2010

Sky Bet's Odds Compare All Prices

Sky Bet make Tiger Woods 6/4 not to clinch a major title in 2010 after his surprise defeat to YE Yang in the USPGA Championship at Hazeltine.

Despite holding a two-shot lead heading into the final round, the world number one ended up three behind the South Korean, taking a 75 for second place, with Lee Westwood of England and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy tied for third place.

It's the first year since 2004 that Woods hasn't won at least one major but having clinched five other titles this season - including two in the last fortnight - he's now 1/2 to win any of the four top championships next year.

With 70 PGA wins to his name, the American is approaching Sam Snead's record of 82 victories. Sky Bet make him 4/5 to break Snead's record in 2011, 11/8 to surpass 82 wins in 2012 and 16/1 to set a new career wins record as early as 2010.

And it's 7/2 that Woods surpasses Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 major championship victories by 2011 or earlier, 15/8 before 2012 and 5/6 to beat it in 2013 or later.

Sky Bet also make the 2010 US Masters 9/4 favourite to be the next major that Woods wins, with next year's US Open 7/2 second favourite to provide his next major victory. They quote 7/1 for him not to record a major win until next year's USPGA Championship.

Andy Thorp, Sky Bet's golf compiler, said: "Tiger can attribute his slightly disappointing performance this year to still recovering from knee surgery.

"He will be determined to win a major next year and will undoubtedly put in a lot of work in the off-season to ensure he does. It will be no surprise if Woods has multiple major wins next year."

Meanwhile Paddy Power were left reeling on Sunday night after their £1.25million early payout on Woods to win the USPGA Championship spectacularly backfired.

Paddy Power, famous for their early payouts, took the unprecedented step of paying out over £1.25m to backers of Woods before he had even teed off for round three of the tournament on Saturday afternoon.

At that time of Tiger was four shots clear at the top of the leaderboard and was the bookies red-hot 1/5 favourite to win the final major of the year.

Unfortunately for Paddy Power, Tiger failed to produce his trademark magic in the final two rounds resulting in the firm's record-breaking seven-figure mistake, the biggest ever of its kind.

Paddy Power said: "It takes a special kind of dimwit to turn what should have been our best ever golf result into our worst. Paddy Power punters are obviously the big winners here and have made like bandits getting paid out on Tiger as a winner. Our only saving grace is that Harrington didn't do the business, thank God!"

YE Yang was available at odds of 150/1 with Paddy Power at the start of the tournament and at 16/1 before the final round.

The South Korean not only became the first Asian-born player to win a major but also the first man to overturn a Woods 54-hole lead in such an event.

World number 110 Yang, with just one previous win in the United States to his name, landed his second in style, first overturning a two-shot lead and then eagling the par-four 14th hole to move in front before holding his nerve down the stretch to seal victory at seven under par with a two-under round of 70.

Tiger was 7/4 at the start of the year to end 2009 without any majors while the four outsiders who won the four big ones this year of Cabrera at the US Masters (125/1), Glover at the US Open (175/1), Cink at The Open (150/1) and Yang at the USPGA (150/1) would have returned the incredible odds of 505,000,000/1 (505 million to 1).

Sky Bet now make Yang 5/1 joint favourite together with his compatriot KJ Choi to take the next major title won by an Asian golfer.

Rising star Ryo Ishikawa, already a three-time Japanese Tour winner, is a 13/2 shot to be the next Asian major winner. And it's 16/1 that a major in 2010 goes to an Asian player.

Sky Bet's John Rhodes said: "With Asians completely dominant on the LPGA, and E-H Ji recently winning the US Women's Open, it was no surprise that sooner or later their success would spread to the men's game and YE Yang's victory in the PGA Championship is bound to create a surge in men's golf in Asia."
