Golf odds should be exciting on the Valero Texas Open that gets underway on Thursday, May 14th with the first two rounds televised by The Golf Channel. Weekend coverage of this golf betting odds tournament will be provided by CBS television.
Golf last season saw Zach Johnson come through in the clutch to win the Valero Texas Open. Johnson had a 62 in the third round and a 64 on Sunday to win by two shots in golf betting odds over Charlie Wi, Mark Wilson and Tim Wilkinson. Rory Sabbatini collapsed after leading in golf odds after the third round to finish seven shots back.
The Valero Texas Open goes all the way back to 1922 and is one of the oldest events on the PGA Tour. It is always played in San Antonio and usually features low scoring golf . The tournament has some great history as in 1940 Byron Nelson defeated Ben Hogan in a playoff.
Golf history shows that Arnold Palmer and Justin Leonard are the only 3-time winners of this event. Leonard won in golf just two years ago in San Antonio. Leonard always seems to be in contention in his home state.
Low scoring has been a given at the Valero Texas Open. In 2003 it was Tommy Armour III winning in golf odds, setting a record with a total of 254, or 26 under par.
We know that the last two winners of this event in golf betting odds were Johnson and Leonard but who else has won this decade? Golf odds history tells us that the Eric Axley was the winner in 2006 while Robert Gamez won in 2005. The winner in 2003 was Armour while Loren Roberts won in 2002 and Leonard won in 2000 and in 2001. There is no doubt that Johnson and Leonard will be popular choices to win the event this week.
Golf betting odds on the Texas Valero Open should be exciting to follow with a number of contenders. The low scoring that is almost always the case in San Antonio means players will need to make a lot of birdies to stay in contention in golf odds.
