If you would have told me last week that Lucas Glover was one of your golf betting picks to win the US Open, I would have laughed right square in your face. But there he was on Monday, holding on down the stretch to win the 109th US Open that was plagued by rain throughout the week.

This is Glover’s second win on the Tour, and he’s known as a solid player, but it took a lot of guts to fend off the likes of Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, who both made late charges but were let down by their putters. David Duval, who handicapping software didn’t even have listed as one of the sports picks to win the Open, finished two shots back. Ricky Barnes, who broke the 36-hole record at the Open, shot a miserable 76 to give the tournament away. The Mickelson story would have been nice and all, and he played way better than I thought he was, but Glover is here to prove that sometimes, it pays to go against your offshore sportsbook.
