BUICK INVITATIONAL BETTING TIPS: PHIL MICKELSON OR PADRAIG HARRINGTON

Things are certainly heating up at Paddy Power as the Buick Invitational Open is set to begin this week. At the current time, Phil Mickelson is the outright favourite to win this PGA event, listed at 10/1. Padraig Harrington is just a hairsbreath behind him with odds of 11/1. Camilo Villegas sits at 16/1, Donald Luke at 18/1 and Retief Goosen is sitting at an even 25/1. You'll see a number of familiar names on here, but it really looks like this one could be Phil Mickelson's tournament. One of the most interesting markets is the To Finish in the Top 10 field. Phil Mickelson is backed at an incredible 11/10 to finish in the top 10 while Padraig comes in at 5/4. This is a great way to ensure some value for your betting dollar. I'm backing Retief Goosen at 12/5, Davis Love at 11/4, Stuart Appleby at 5/1 and I'm going to have a bash on Jesper Parnevik at a very long 16/1. I'm backing Mickelson outright and this crew to finish top 10. There are also markets available on top Australia and New Zealand Player, as well as Top European Player. Aaron Baddeley leads the Aussie/NZ contingent at 9/2 while Harrington is the 5/4 favourite to be top European.
