Glover 100-1 for Open double

LUCAS Glover, as big as 280-1 on Betfair, proved to be a skinner for the bookies when he won the US Open at Bethpage.

But the odds-layers reckon he has little chance of a repeat in our Open Championship at Turnberry next month, the American being quoted at 100-1.

Tiger Woods is 11-4 favourite to win in Scotland, followed by Spain’s Sergio Garcia at 16-1 and Padraig Harrington - winner of the last two Opens but out of form - on 20-1.


NOW that the dust has settled on the ICC Twenty20, attention switches to the Ashes series, which starts in two weeks’ time.

Australia are 8-11, with England on 12-5 and the draw an 11-2. shot. These odds leave me bemused and I will be having another bet on England to beat a transitional Aussie side.


ANDREW Murray was only workmanlike in reaching round two of Wimbledon yesterday and has been pushed out to 11-4 to win the title.


Roger Federer, in action today, is a hot favourite at 8-11 and looks a certainty to me.

Serena and Venus Williams (5-2 and 11-4 respectively) dominate the women’s market.


THE Lions were narrowly beaten in the first rugby union Test against South Africa, so 11-4 about them winning the second game on Saturday looks extremely fair.
