South African is backed at the exchange's biggest price - [1000.0] - when pulling off an improbably victory to land home Open.
Richard Sterne was matched at huge prices to take the South African Open after coming back from the dead to win in his homeland for the second week in a row.
The 27-year-old was matched at [1000.0] (£2 traded) and [510.0] (£8 traded) before taking the tournament on a play-off from Northern Ireland's young tyro Gareth Maybin.
Sterne had a final round 66 to haul himself back into contention in a tournament where, suffering from a back injury, he had looked out of it.
Maybin, who got to 15-under, touched a low of [1.23] to win but missed an eight-foot birdie putt at the last to win the trophy.
Lee Westwood also traded odds-on, hitting [1.46] when sitting at the head of the field for much of the final day.
