2011 British Open Odds, Predictions, Free Picks and Tips – Favorites, Bets and Lines to Win the British Open at Royal St George’s Golf Club: Early vegas odds to win the 2011 British Open at the Royal St George’s Golf Club in Sandwich, Kent, England on the PGA Tour beginning July 14th have been posted at the vegas and online sportsbooks and the oddsmakers in Las Vegas and at online bookmaker SBG Global have made Rory McIlroy the 6/1 favorite to win.
While the U.S. Open is the arguably the most coveted major for American golfers, the British Open is the crown jewel for European players. Thanks in part to Mother Nature, it is also one of the most difficult tournaments on any continent. From high winds that blow balls off greens and fairways to rain showers that cause delays, the British Open is often as much about conquering the elements as it is about conquering the course.
Speaking of the course, this year’s tournament will be played at Royal St. George’s, beginning July 15. Bunkers and rough abound this challenging course that will almost certainly keep scores near the par mark and keep the top contenders separated by only a few strokes. Solid play with irons and putters will probably trump driving distance in this tournament, and playing damage control will be key for whichever golfer ultimately hoists the Claret Jug.
The Favorites – 2011 British Open Betting Odds and Predictions
After his epic collapse at the Masters, everyone was waiting to see how Rory McIlroy would bounce back in his next major. Well, he bounced back to the tune of a dominating victory in the U.S. Open, and McIlroy is now a favorite to win the British Open and every other major for the foreseeable future. McIlroy could be golf’s next superstar, and he could add to his growing legend next week at Royal St. George’s.
Lee Westwood holds the unwelcomed distinction of being the best golfer in the world without a win in a major tournament. That being said, he has been close on numerous occasions. In his last seven majors, Westwood has finished among the top three five times. It is only a matter of time before he finally breaks through.
Potential Sleepers – 2011 British Open Betting Lines and Free Picks
He is the No. 1 golfer in the world coming into the British Open, and Luke Donald has the playing style to handle St. George’s. He is a conservative golfer, and he is one of the best at using his irons to avoid trouble and create makeable putts. At a course with plenty of traps, his low-risk approach could lead him to victory.
Martin Kaymer has emerged as one of the top putters on tour, and his ability to get the job done on the greens could pay huge dividends at the British Open. At a course like St. George’s, the tournament figures to be close from start to finish. Kaymer’s ability to capitalize with his putter could separate him from the rest of the field down the stretch.
Considering what he has been able to accomplish in the last two majors, it is tough to ignore Jason Day. After a surprising second-place finish at the Masters, he delivered another runner-up performance at the U.S. Open. Day seems to play his best on the biggest stages, and the momentum could put him in contention for a British Open win.
Golfers to Avoid – 2011 British Open Betting Odds and Free Tips
While he has flashed his talent throughout his career, Sergio Garcia has never been able to put together four strong rounds during a major tournament. This unfortunate has been especially true in past British Opens. Garcia is a player that tends to show up near the top of the leaderboard early before fading down the stretch.
While Tiger Woods has been away, Phil Mickelson was supposed to be in the driver’s seat to win a couple of majors. Instead, he struggled at the Masters and the U.S. Open. Now, he heads to the British Open – a tournament where he has struggled throughout his career. Mickelson has just a single top-10 finish in the British Open, and he probably won’t be a threat come Sunday.
