What are 2011 european golf betting picks?

Question

European golf events are the most important and famous betting events among the betting circles. I would like to know, what are the latest 2011, european golf betting picks?

Answer 1

Martin Kaymer and Lee Westwood are tied atop the list with 8/1 odds to win the tournament.

Kaymer will be playing in his first tournament of the 2011 season. The German hasn’t been on the links since November, when he finished 13th at the Dubai World Championship. Kaymer is as capable as anyone of hitting a hot streak, even without playing on a weekly basis; he earned three straight wins in August, September and October despite not playing a single tournament in between.

Westwood also hasn’t played since November, when he finished the season very impressively. The Englishman picked up a second-place finish at the HSBC Champions before notching a third-place effort at the Dubai World Championship. In fact, Westwood has finished third or better in three of his last five tournaments. He’s missed the Top 20 just once in his last nine tourneys, so Westwood is expected to be hanging around all weekend.

Like Westwood, Rory McIlroy enjoyed a very promising finish to the 2010 season. The Northern Ireland native has 11/1 odds to win the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, and it’s easy to see why. He finished fifth, sixth and fifth in his final three tournaments of the year, which gives McIlroy seven Top-10 finishes in his last 10 tournaments. Five of them included Top-5 finishes, though he was left without a victory.

Paul Casey is right behind with 12/1 golf odds to win. The Englishman wrapped up 2010 with back-to-back sixth-place finishes. He’s now hit the Top-6 in three of his last five outings.

Graeme McDowell and Ian Poulter round out the top competitors at this weekend’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. Each have 14/1 odds to win.
