Here are the latest odds
It's U.S. Open week, and odds continue to change for who is expected to win this second major championship of 2013.
The last time we looked he was a 7/2 favorite and then moved to a 9/2 favorite after his play at Memorial, and it looks like the final numbers will have Woods at 4/1.
Some odds we like? Phil Mickelson at 20/1 doesn't seem like a bad value after his play at the St. Jude, and I don't hate Dustin Johnson at 40/1 considering he got a good warm-up last week as well.
What value do you see here? Odds are after the jump.
ODDS TO WIN:

Those in bold will be my picks for a few e/w bets
They're having a laugh with Rory McIlroy at 20/1.
I would make Rory a strong favourite to miss the cut.
Manassero playing well at the moment and worth a each way bet @ 60/1
Will also put a few on Luke Donald, Jason Day,GMac and Schwartzel.
QuoteHaas 80/1
Day 40/1
Olesen 100/1
Dufner 40/1
McDowell 25/1
Fill your boots ;)
I think it's an absolute fookin' lottery.
Iv given up trying to predict who will win golf tournaments. About 30 of those lads could win it without any eyebrows being raise.
Will go for Ricky Fowler and Dustin Johnson.
Read in paper that course is "short" so in theory the whambangers should be reigned in by the more skilful short iron players.

Yep. A class golfer imvho who one day will swallow up a major at his ease. I have been wrong about him though for quiet a while now but still think he is worth a 40/1 flutter. His short game is very good, if only he could only do away with his "one nightmare hole "he does in every major so far.

Don't get me wrong I am not questioning your choice more an observation about the course and the shorter hitter and in the same breath you backing DJ. I have backed him in the past, you might remember USPGA 2010 and a bunker incident! I was nearly crying!

No probs GK. I remember it well as I do his slice in the last round of last year's British Open. Even I would have been embarassed at that shot.
Still will persevere with him.
Still hurting from backing Cabrera to win the US Masters earlier this year.

I'd say that hurt all right. Adam Scott holding his nerve? You'd have gotten generous odds on that.
Just cause the golf heads are in this thread - tickets went on sale yesterday for Ryder Cup practice days for 2014, plus the lottery for match day tickets opened too (not drawn until July).
Paddy Power are paying 7 places but bet has to be placed on mobile.
Good spot Minder
I'm going Kj 125/1
Zach J 80/1
Henrik 70/1
Tim Clarke 90/1
Matteo Manso 70/1
colsaerts is a good each way bet as I think is wee Louis. worth a wee flyer may be Thorbjorn Olesen, and if you can get it Gavin Hall the US amateur to make the cut..
Big Darren at 300 looks good. That means he's lost 3 stone.

You have had the last bit of goodness from Darren.
Weather is going to play a huge part in the weekend. If it pours as expected the likes of McIlroy and Johnston have a great chance as the fairways will be slower and ball wont run into the rough which is supposed to be dire.
My few for an interest
Mickelson
Gmac
Ryan Moore
Carl Pettersson
Zach Johnson
David Lingmerth top 20 10/1
Irish amateur Kevin Phelan -1 through 10

It would be worse if he didnt care.
My concern would be his plan to address his lack of form. He needs to enter more tournaments, and learn how to putt well when under pressure.

Agreed, he is 23 years of age for fick sake. He is going to show a bit of immaturity and petulance, we all have at that age, he is just showing it in the public eye.
So he broke a club, compare that to the antics of some the superstars in premier league or even the great tiger woods.
Its one of the irish worse trats that we hate to see our own do well!!!!!
He really is turning into a bit of an arsehole. I'll be glad when he plays for GB at the Olympics!

I can't stand the fcuker. Don't know why.
Great finish
Delighted for him. Always liked him.
Montgomery reminding everyone that McDowell and McIlroy are not British. Woo-hoo!

In fairness I think I saw Dufner launch his club in the creek at a stage . . . Imagine what it would be like for an average 15 handicapper trying to go round that!! You'd do a lot worse shit than McIlroy or Dufner got up to!
in case it was ever in doubt ignore any predictions I make relating to golf...
Quotecolsaerts is a good each way bet as I think is wee Louis. worth a wee flyer may be Thorbjorn Olesen, and if you can get it Gavin Hall the US amateur to make the cut..
shite, shite, shite and shite...
just to be clear colsearts was 10th. Louis didn't even play, olesen was 18 over after 2 rounds (great time to try and flatten out your golf swing thorbjorn!) and Hall didn't make the cut.
