Prior to the tournament there was a huge gamble on Tiger Woods winning all four majors this year. His odds of doing so were cut from 50/1 to 8/1 - a feat that would have cost William Hill millions. The bookiess now offer odds of 13/2 that Tiger Woods wins the three remaining majors and 5/2 that he fails to win any. The Masters was a roller coaster for the European challengers who after a number of good starts, all failed to mount a genuine challenge on the final day and William Hill are 4/9 that none of the remaining majors will be won by a European and 13/8 that at least one ends up in the hands of a European player. "We are pleased with the result but would have been ecstatic if Mickleson and Harrington had not squeaked in for the each way money. We now have a war chest to take on the Tiger in the remaining Majors of the year," said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams. |
