The Ryder Cup opens with a titanic match up between, in the blue corner, the celtic twosome of Colin Montgomerie and home boy, Padraig Harrington. Verses, in the red,white and blue corner, world number 1&2, Tiger Woods and Slim Jim Furyk.
Two years ago at Oakland Hills in the opening fourballs, Monty and Harry beat Woods and Mickleson, 2&1, a win that set the tone for the rest of the Ryder Cup.
Let's get to the nitty gritty, I like the Europeans , they knew that Woods/Furyk would be paired in the opening tie and this is the match up they wanted.
In all Ryder Cup matches todate, Woods and Furyk have won 13 out of a possible 35 points (37%), Monty and Harrington 29 from 44 (66%). Why should the US pairing be big odds on ? It makes little sense to me and is based purely on reputation.
4 points Montgomerie/Harrington to beat Woods/Furyk 2.88 betfair .
Good Luck.
