Golf British Open Championship: forget six

Forget the Joy of Six - Paddy Power is once again offering a Magnificent SEVEN places on this year's Open Championship.

Whilst some bookmakers offer just five places on the biggest golf betting event of the year Paddy Power are again leading the way down the fairway to payout on the first seven players at the top of the final leaderboard. With Tiger Woods in fine form after his win at the AT&T National over the weekend the world number one is just 2/1 to win at Turnberry next week, which if the betting is to be believed could make the each way odds to seven places that Paddy Power are offering all the more valuable. The spokesman for the bookie told to Ecobika Sports Beting: "In this day and age it's crazy that bookies try to get away with offering five places for The Open - why would you sign for a bogey when you've been offered a birdie? Golf has thrown up so many surprise winners in the last few years that punters need a run for their money at the majors so it will be interesting to see which of the other bookies follow us down the fairway with this offer."
