US Open Betting Action Back at Pebble Beach and at SBG. The US is full of amazing golf courses, some of the best on the planet to be sure, but there is only course that seems fit to host the US Open betting action and that, of course, is Pebble Beach.
It’s been a while since the US Opens odds action was contested at this classic golf resort but and it’s high time that the crown jewel event of golf betting returned to its rightful home. The US Open betting action rotates to new locations every year as with all the Majors –aside from the Masters- and Pebble Beach has been a mainstay in the golf betting rotation since its inception.
Pebble Beach is such an iconic location that it’s not easily surpassed in terms of sheer beauty and difficulty when it comes to host courses for the US Open odds action. And because of these traits there is probably no other course in golf betting that is so closely associated with, or that defines, the US Open betting action the way Pebble Beach does.
As most golf betting fans know the US Open is one of the most difficult –if not the most difficult- golf wagering event in the world. As opposed to the British Open that can play very difficult if weather conditions are ugly, but quite easily due to the relatively short hole distances, there is almost no occasion in which the US Open odds contest is easy.
Weather generally plays a role in the US Open betting and this is especially the case at the seaside Pebble Beach course has gusts of wind of the mighty Pacific that can make this course a hellish nightmare for even the best players in the golf betting odds. But because of the course selection and the placement of the tee blocks and the pins, even in clam weather US Open odds hosting courses are difficult even without the weather component.
European golfers tend to do poorly in the US Open betting based on the length of the courses and Pebble Beach will be no different. This year’s course will play over 7,000 yards and unless you can drive the ball 300 yards off the tees you’ll be at a severe disadvantage in the golf betting odds.
This definitely gives long-driving American players the advantage in the US Open betting odds, but that’s only half the battle as the short game also comes into play at Pebble Beach.
