Ryder Cup Top European Player Odds

The Ryder Cup Top European Player Odds has Sergio Garcia as favourite from three time Major winner, Padraig Harrington. With Nick Faldo's controversial pick, Ian Poulter expected to play a major role within the team, he too has been backed to finish top. He will need to as well, as there is a mounting propaganda brigade hoping that Poulter becomes the fall guy of the team. The anger surrounding his inclusion via the Faldo's wildcard pick has increased and there has been a clear negative wave of dismay from the golfing world, particularly as Ryder cup favourites and heroes, Darren Clarke and Colin Montgomerie were ignored.

It is exactly what the team could have done without as they go into the defence of the Ryder Cup trophy at the Valhalla course in Louisville, Kentucky. Faldo is unrepentant about his decision to include Poulter. He makes a valid point when he says that ‘Poults' is the highest ranked player in the world not to have been automatically selected, however, his critics simply say that other than his British Open runner up spot, Poulter has had only one top ten finish this year and that was back in January, while Clarke has won twice, including the week before last at the KLM Dutch Open, which he won in great style.

Colin Montgomerie should not have too many complaints, he has been poor for the last 2 years and did not look like he was improving enough for a wildcard pick. It is possibly the end of an era, where Montgomerie was never beaten in Ryder Cup singles. Top European Player odds are 5/1 Garcia, 11/2 Harrington, 7/1 Westwood, 9/1 Stenson, 10/1 Casey, 12/1 Karlsson, Rose, 16/1 Poulter, 18/1 Jiminez. 25/1 bar three.
