Top US Ryder Cup Player Odds
The Top US Ryder Player Cup Odds in this Ryder Cup betting match has Phil Mickelson as favourite to be top performer. Ryder Cup stalwart, Jim Furyk is next in the player betting in a team that was announced yesterday by the US Ryder Cup Captain, Paul Azinger. In many ways the US team is similarly made up to the European side, with a several solid experienced players with three ‘rookies', in the form of, Hunter Mahan, JB Holmes and Steve Stricker. One difference however is that the US wildcard picks were hardly contentious and Tiger Woods aside, it is looking like the strongest US team that could be fielded.
Azinger has been clever enough to select, JB Holmes who is a Louisville, Kentucky, home based player and one who can guarantee huge home support playing on his home course. It was also quite shrewd of Azinger to pick Hunter Mahan after the young American had made several disparaging remarks about Ryder Cup status. Mahan was genuinely sorry for his comments and now should be well motivated and fully supportive of his Captain when he takes to the field.

The American media have already jumped on the European selection controversy, they will undoubtedly be putting the Nick Faldo and Ian Poulter ‘friendship' selection to the fore and will turn up the volume whenever Poulter takes to the field. Top US player odds are: 9/2 Mickelson, 5/1 Furyk, 15/2 Kim, Leonard, 8/1 Cink, Perry, Stricker, 10/1 Mahan, 18/1 Curtis, 14/1 Weekly, 16/1 Campbell, 18/1 Holmes.
In light of the fact that JB Holmes is a home player, his odds of 18/1 suggest that the Bookies may have missed a trick and he is well worth a free bet in this particular market. Paddy Power
