Ryder Cup Day One Odds

The Ryder Cup Day one odds in the latest Ryder Cup betting has Nick Faldo's European favourites to take an early advantage over the USA. Over the last three tournaments, the Europeans have held an advantage after the first day and Faldo is determined that his players do so again. So concerned were the Americans about the first day format that they used their home prerogative to change the first morning session from the fourballs to the foursomes in the hope that the Europeans will not gain an early advantage. There has been much speculation about what players will be used in this first session, but it is likely that Faldo will go with Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington and Lee Westwood as the lead players in at least three of the morning matches. Faldo has also hinted that he would like all his 12 players to have a run out on the first day.

It is clear that the European team is in confident mood, and that they will be looking to emulate the 5-3 lead that they held over the Americans after the first day in 2006. Garcia has only ever been in a losing pair in four previous Ryder Cup appearances and he is clearly the player the Americans want to avoid. He has been in great from leading up to the Ryder Cup and it is little wonder why he heads the betting in the top European Player odds. Lee Westwood too has a great Ryder Cup record and provided he has overcome his bout of illness he should also be a big fear factor for the Americans. Padraig Harrington, outside of Tiger Woods is the best in the world right now and his new found status will also have a huge bearing on an American team that contains six ‘rookies'. Day One odds are: Evens Europe, 11/8 and 5/1 draw.
