The US Open wagering is usually unique but this season it will be extra unique as the 2010 edition of the US Open Golf Championships will be held at Pebble Beach. This event and this golf course have a quite unique relationship, as any sports wagering buff who has ever bet on US Open probabilities understands. In fact, there is no doubt that Pebble Beach would be its location of choice if the US Open wagering contest were to ever decide on a perpetual site instead of the traditional rotation between top courses.

The US Open wagering event holds a special place in the hearts and minds of all golf wagering lovers. It’s undeniably the most difficult of any of the Majors and in several years the most difficult layout of any tournament on the golf wagering calendar.

With its huge vistas of the rugged Pacific Coast line and its magnificent signature holes, this year Pebble Beach will be as gorgeous and breathtaking as ever.

But do not be fooled by what you see. This is still the toughest course layout of the year, and this is still the US Open wagering contest. Besides being as difficult as ever, Pebble Beach will play especially difficult during the US Open wagering tournament as the tee boxes will be moved back, pin placements extended and the competitors will need to cover 7,040 yards in 18 holes following the Arnold Palmer makeovers.

As soon as you combine the possibility for wind gust to spray balls in all directions and that sort of distance with a links style course layout there is extremely little margin for error.

Of course when you’re speaking about that sort of distance it likes the lengthy ball hitters and basically takes the European-style participants from the golf wagering hunt.

It’s little shock that Tiger Woods is the US Open probabilities favorite at 6:1. And it’s also no shocker that world #2 Phil Mickelson is 2nd in the US Open probabilities at roughly 7:1. These 2 men are clearly the best participants on earth and part of an elite group that is both lengthy enough off the tee and accurate enough with their wedges to master the Pebble Beach course.

Even so, the possibility for catastrophe is so high that just a few poor shots may undo their US Open wagering championship hopes and that leaves a lot of space for a dark horse contender to come up in this year’s wagering.

The US Open this year will be held from June 17-20. It’s the first time to be played at the lovely Pebble Beach Golf Links since 2000, however the fifth time that it will be held there. It’s also going to be the first year to test a new rule on grooves. Grooves in clubs must have less volume and more rounded edges in the new rules, in an effort to limit the amount of spin. The concept is to pressure the player to concentrate more on keeping the ball in the fairway than driving it long. Whether this new rule has any influence at all on the US Open remains to be seen.
