This has been a quite interesting season for golf wagering at the online sportsbook and if the final two Majors of the season prove to be even half as intriguing as the Masters and the US Open Champion wagering then sports wagering fanatics do not want to miss out.

After Phil Mickelson's awesome finish at Augusta and now Graeme McDowell's magnificent finish on top of the US Open champion probabilities the only certainty in the golf wagering thus far this in the Majors has been uncertainty.

The British Open is just around the corner and Players Championship in August and that leaves plenty of time for McDowell to relish his Open championship wagering win – his first Major ever. It was a excellent performance on a quite tough course with conditions steadily worsening as the final round played out. The wind at Pebble Beach is infamously unpredictable and on Sunday, the final day of the Open Championship probabilities competition it reared its ugly head.

McDowell was calm and collected as he played out the final 18 holes and entered the team house as the 2010 US Open champion wagering champ while others in the field including the top two golfers (Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson) on earth struggled to close the competition. McDowell earned the US Open by 1 stroke. He became the first European to win the US Open since Tony Jacklin in 1970. Since Andy North in 1985, his ultimate round was the greatest score by a US Open champion.

A native of the gusty north coast of Ireland, the breeze presented little issue for McDowell, or at least he handled the challenge much a lot better than the remainder of the golf wagering field. Scores grew on the final day of event and no golfer ended the golf wagering Major under par. McDowell came best with a 4-round total score of Even Par following a final round of 74.

Sunday was set up for a quite spectacular finish and crowning of the new US Open Championship wagering champ but for all intents and purposes the final round did not deliver. In a party on top of the leader board that consisted of heavyweights like Woods, Mickelson and Ernie Els, none of these major name competitors challenged and McDowell simply went out and played more or less mistake free golf on his way to hoisting the trophy.

Woods was poised to end six months of negative publicity over a shattered personal life. But then he bogeyed 5 of his first 10 holes and took himself out of contention with a 75.

Els had a short share of the lead on the front 9 but came apart along the coastal holes - such as 1 stretch of bogey-double bogey-bogey - and never quite rebounded.

Mickelson, with another excellent chance to end a career of disappointment at the US Open, even for 4th with Woods, missing a shot to supplant Woods at No 1 on earth.

Frenchman Greg Havret came out of nowhere to complete second at +1, Els third at +2 and Woods and Mickelson both ended +3 in the US Open champion probabilities match.
