Golf Betting: 2008 U.S. Open Results
Writing by bettingfool on Monday, 16 of June , 2008 at 10:30 am
We ain’t done yet. The 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines is going to a playoff. Tiger Woods birdied the 18th hole Sunday to tie Rocco Mediate at minus-1 for the tournament; they’ll play another 18 holes on Monday starting at noon Eastern.
Woods was the –400 favorite at press time, casting a huge shadow over Mediate at +275. But how much longer can Tiger compete on his recently scoped left knee? “I took some things to kind of relieve that,” Woods told the Associated Press after sinking his 12-foot birdie on 18.
Mediate is the No. 126 golfer on the PGA Tour’s money list. That ranking is about to go up substantially. He’s 45 years old, with five career Tour victories – most recently the 2002 Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic. This would be Mediate’s first major championship. He’s been quite consistent thus far: 69-71-72-71 in the first four rounds. Woods is 72-68-70-73 with four double-bogeys compared to one for Mediate.
