You read it people, SportsBetting.com just made betting on this year’s latest tournament on the golf course a little more interesting, offering a 50 percent match bonus for the enjoyment of their existing and potential clients (that’s you…) while you witness how the second major of the year transpire.

Can Tiger Woods win his first major of 2008 or will Sergio Garcia finally erase the distinction of being the ‘’best player in the world without a major?'’

What about Phil Mickelson? This could be his best chance to finally win the U.S. Open with Tiger Woods, probably his biggest obstacle, not having played competitive golf since The Masters.

Can he finally win his first U.S. Open title?

The 2008 U.S. Open will run from June 12 - 15 at the Torrey Pines in San Diego, California and hopefully, some of those questions will be answered.
