The british open golf odds when haywire again at Day 2 of the British Open. Tom Watson appeared to be sliding back to reality when he dropped several shots on the front nine, but he rallied and strung a few birdies together, fighting back to 5-under and a tie for the lead.

Meanwhile, the news was bad for Tiger again; he hacked his way to a 74 and, barring a last-second miracle, will miss the cut. If you're a smart sportsbook betting management player, you followed our advice and avoided Tiger in the first place. Because of his driving woes, he was set up to score poorly at Turnberry from the start.

The prognosis remains the same for Tom Watson's British Open odds. He's tantalizing us by leading entering the weekend, but I'd be careful betting on his matchups. Greg Norman led after three rounds and disappointed many excited bettors on Sunday last year.

Of the remaining names, I like the veterans as opposed to the no-names. Jim Furyk is due and has the calm demeanor needed to win, as does Retief Goosen. Vijay Singh may finally have turned the corner in his knee surgery recovery, so he can't be counted out either.

Another name to consider for the weekend: Angel Cabrera. He's not the prettiest player, but he's underrated, always slipping under the radar. He quietly has two major championships and is in striking distance of the third. Don't forget about him, as he'll offer better value than the sports picks listed above him.
