Alstom Open de France Betting

The Open de France is the oldest national open remaining on the European Tour and it boasts some top names as the players look to play their way into form ahead of the British Open Championship.

It takes place each year during late June at the Le Golf National in Paris, France, and it has become an extremely prestigious event - boasting one of the leading prize funds on the golf tour and it uses a qualifying format that is similar to that used in the British Open.

It makes for a great betting spectacle as so many of the top players from the tour compete and it could help you take a look at who is in form and who is struggling ahead of placing your ante-post bet for the Open. While you might just find an outsider whose odds take your fancy with so much golf to come over the next few months.

Previous winners of the Open de France include Miguel Angel Jimenez and Pablo Larrazabal, while some top names have gone close in the past but fallen just short - Padraig Harrington finished runner up in 2006 before going on to win the 2007 and 2008 British Opens, while Lee Westwood, Soren Hansen and Francesco Molinari have also finished second in recent years.
