2009 Open at Torrey Pines South Golf Club Betting Information

Bet 2009 US Open at gamblerspalace.com

June 15-21, 2009
at Bethpage State Park. Farmingdale, CA.

Golf's second major of the season is arguably its most demanding and challenging. The 2009 U.S. Open championship takes center
stage this June at Bethpage Black in New York where Tiger Woods, who won this tournament at Bethpage in 2002, will be looking to take home his fourth career and second straight U.S. Open crown.

In 2002, the Black Course at Bethpage State Park became the first municipally-owned golf course to host a U.S. Open. At the time, the 7,214-yard, par-70 layout, originally designed by A.W. Tillinghast and later given a major facelift from Rees Jones, was the longest in Open history. The parkland-style course more than proved itself as a major-championship venue, with only champion Tiger Woods finishing the 72-hole competition under par at 277 (three under). Some minor alterations have been for the 2009 U.S. Open, but the course should essentially feature the same challenging characteristics that the world’s best golfers faced seven years ago.

Last year Tiger Woods won the 2009 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in dramatic fashion by defeating Rocco Mediate in a 19-hole playoff. What was even more incredible was that it was later found out that Wood’s knee would require season-ending shortly following his victory.

The U.S. Open is open to any professional, or to any amateur with an up-to-date USGA Handicap Index not exceeding 1.4. Players (male or female) may obtain a place by being fully exempt or by competing successfully in qualifying. The field is 156 players.

Arguably the most difficult golf tournament in the world, the U.S. Open demands near perfection from its pro participants. From rugged rough to boorish bunkers, it's a golfer's worst nightmare come true. This is one of the most popular tournaments in all of golf and a real fan favorite.

These include the four major events - US Masters, US Open, British Open, and US PGA Championship - that attract golf fans and huge golf betting action around the world.
