One of the four major championships the US Open is held each year in June and is held at a different venue each year. In 2010 the event is being held at Pebble Beach.

Because the US Open follows on from the Masters, most players have found their form by this time so expect the cream to rise to the top of the field.

Betting on golf has become more and more popular over recent years which is partly down to the amount of live TV coverage it now enjoys. Betfair has also helped betting on Golf, as you can now bet in-running literally shot-by-shot right until the final putt is holed.

There are plenty of different bets available for golf betting. These include outright win, each way bets, top 5 finish, top 10 finish, to place the cut, to miss the cut and plenty more. Don't forget that many of the bookmakers will be offering promotions and Free Bets whilst the US Open is on so make sure you claim yours.
