2005 champion is the punters' choice as the Oakland Hills betting gets into swing.

Phil Mickelson is the clear favourite on Betfair for the USPGA Championshipwith just three days to go to the final major of the year.

The 38-year-old American has settled at [11.0] in the market having traded at a high of [30.0] - presumably in the pre-Tiger knee era - and a low of [6.4].

A host of major winners and top-ranked players are tucked in behind the 2005 champion with dual Open ????? Padraig Harrington the leader at [20.0].

Vijay Singh, who broke a relatively long winless streak with last weekend's WGC Bridgestone Invitational is next in the betting at [21.0]. Perennial major fancy Sergio Garcia sits alongside Jim Furyk at [25.0] with Lee Westwood a tickle back at [27.0].

A host of names sit further back in the betting including current US hotshot Anthony Kim at [30.0], Ernie Els ([32.0]) and Adam Scott ([38.0]).

The action gets underway at Oakland Hills at 6pm (BST), the winner's market will, of course, be operated in-running which usually means big fluctuations in odds as the players flourish or flounder on the Michigan course.
