Open de France Alstom Golf Odds and Picks

Most European golf players who played in the US Open a few weeks ago at Bethpage Black, have returned back across the pond and are getting ready for the next Major Golf tournament, the British Open or as it’s known to most citizens of England, “The Open” which will be played at The Ailsa Course at Turnberry on July 16th to 19th.

However, before we get to “The Open”, most of the top European Golfers will be taking part in the 2009 French Open known as the “Open de France Alstom”.

Here are the current odds on favorites to win the French Open this weekend. Ian Poulter is the early favorite at +1415 odds, meaning if you wagered $100 on Poulter to win and should he win the event, you would net a profit of $1415 in your Sports betting account.

Ron Raymond’s Golf Prediction:

Gold Golf Pick: Ian Poulter +1415
Silver Golf Pick: Miguel Angel Jimenez +3050
Bronze Golf Pick: Angel Cabrera +2550
