2008 Open Championship Betting - Day 2

Despite the atrocious conditions, form held true on the first day of the 2008 Open Championship, as the likes of Graeme McDowell and Rocco Mediate surged to the top of the leaderboard.

However, with weather conditions set to deteriorate, there is always the chance that the 2008 Open Championship might degenerate into a golf lottery, which means punters will need to place smart bets to earn dividends from the tournament.

With 1st round results to refer to, 2nd round 3 ball betting offers punters the opportunity to place considered bets. Choice 3 balls for the day include the 3 ball featuring local hero Colin Montgomerie, Mike Weir and Boo Weekly. Weir is 11/8 favourite to lead this 3 ball after leading the 2008 Open Championship briefly during the 1st round, while Boo Weekley offers great odds at 9/4.

Punters can also bet on mythical 2nd round 2 balls during the second day of the 2008 Open Championship. Mythical 2 balls on offer include a match up between Ernie Els (5/6) and Vijay Singh (6/5), and Colin Montgomerie (11/8) against Lee Westwood (8/11).

Jim Furyk, Retief Goosen and Graeme McDowell currently top the betlive outright tournament winner betting markets. These markets offer punters the opportunity to cash in on some good odds on long-shot players as weather throws the leaderboard into disarray.
