William Hill said that after Phil won the PGA on 200\/1 odds, the book opened him at 85\/1 for the US Open. Due to large amounts of wagers, he\u2019s down to 45\/1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere will be a seven-figure liability on him when this kicks off. He\u2019s really close to leading in dollars, only [Brooks] Koepka has more. Tickets, it\u2019s not even close, he\u2019s got the most,\u201d revealed Nick Bogdanovich, director of trading for William Hill US.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the only bigger liability in a recent golf major was when Tiger [Woods] was coming back from all those injuries and won the [2019] Masters,\u201d Bogdanovich added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At BetMGM, the book says Mickelson is responsible for 9.9 percent of the money wagered. Only Jon Rahm has more at 10.5 percent. In terms of tickets, Mickelson\u2019s name is on six percent of the slips, trailing only Koepka at 6.2 percent.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Golf analysts, however, aren\u2019t sold on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/phil-mickelson-talks-sports-betting-45k-wager-on-him-winning-us-open\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mickelson winning<\/a> the US Open, which would cap off the career grand slam for the veteran.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d put his chances at extremely slim,\u201d opined Golf.com Senior Editor Sean Zak. \u201cLightning struck once at Kiawah.
