Professional sports handicappers at Touthouse.com are looking forward to providing their daily clients insight in who to ”bet on” in this situation.
Phil Mickelson +160
Tiger Woods -185
(If you bet $100 on Phil Mickelson to shoot a lower score than Woods on Sunday, you would win $160, in addition to getting your $100 wager back. If you bet on Woods, you would have to risk $185 to win $100 and receive your $185 back.)
Woods had another strong round Saturday, shooting 70, but he needed something miraculous to happen to get back in the hunt to win the tournament.
He’s never won any of his 14 major championships when trailing after 54 holes, and he’ll likely need a huge comeback and poor performances by the likes of Kenny Perry, Angel Cabrera, and Chad Campbell to have a chance Sunday.
Two-time Masters winner Mickelson was in a similar spot. He birdied all four of the par-fives and finished with a 71, giving Lefty a glimmer of hope heading to the final round but still a huge longshot to win it all.
There was plenty of time on Saturday morning for Woods and Mickelson to play their way into the mix, but Masters history suggested the odds were stacked against them. Only twice has someone outside the top five going into the weekend come back to win.
