Buick Open 2008 Odds

The Buick Open 2007 was a close finish, with the first 15 players all within three shots of each other. Bateman took the cup with his first PGA Tour victory, ending with a birdie on the last hole and breaking a four-way tie. Bateman’s winning score was the highest since Singh (15 under) won his first of three Buick Opens in 1997. Brian Bateman will be defending his title again in the 2008 Buick Open.

Buick Open 2008 Betting

Betting on golf is more popular than ever before, largely due to Tiger Woods popularising the game. Even players themselves place bets while on the course. With the arrival of pay-channel TV, which brought international golf tournaments into the foreground, it became easier to place bets and to monitor the progress of favourite players.
