Latest British Open Betting: Oosthuizen Leads but the Tiger Prowls

Louis Oosthuizen, a relatively unknown South African golfer, incredibly leads the Open Golf Championship by five shots at the halfway stage on the ‘Old Course’ at St Andrews. The South African fired a 67 to go with his 65 scored on the first day, looking like the only man in the tournament who was not affected by the almost gale force winds that dominated play in the second round. Bet365 Bookmakers make him the 3/1 favourite to win his first ‘Major’, but ominously they have world number one, Tiger Woods, next best at 5/1, despite him being 8 shots adrift.

Englishmen, Lee Westwood and Paul Casey are very well placed on 6 under to mount serious challenges, but know that they must start well and avoid dropping shots early on their third rounds today. Westwood looked particularly good in the second round and can consider himself unlucky that he did not finish a good four shots off better than he actually did. Westwood looks a good bet to be on to us with odds of 11/2 to win the tournament, while Casey is at 9/1.

Free Open Championship Golf Bet From Bet365

Rory McIlroy, favourite after the first round, following his new course record of 63, slipped out of immediate contention with a disastrous 80 in the second round, leaving him on 1 under and eleven off the lead. Amazingly it was the first time McIlroy had ever shot worse than 69 at St Andrews, but he knows he does have the game to mount a comeback and at 40/1 with bet365 he still might be worth each way consideration.

Another player who has crept into contention is McIlroy’s compatriot, Graeme McDowell, the new US Open Champion. He moved steadily into five under par after an outstanding round of 68, which has earned him a quote of 14/1 from Bet365.com to win a second ‘major’ of the season.
