Watney is likely to go off the shortest priced American at the 2011 Open
Odds: [36.0]
Last five Opens: 7/27/-/35/-
Following his second victory of the season at Aronimink, his odds are in freefall and in all likelihood, Watney will start this year's Open as the shortest priced American. Formerly best-known as the man who threw away a substantial final round lead in the 2010 USPGA, Nick has made significant progress this season and currently tops the PGA Tour rankings. Given that he is clearly a man on the up, his first three cracks at the Open are a source of much hope, with nothing worse than 35th place. If conditions are easy and scoring low, Watney's combination of long, straight driving and putting brilliance could be just the ticket.
