| Golf Betting Preview: South African Open |
For the best odds on this great golfing event and all of the other golfing events around the globe stop by online sportsbook Bet Phoenix and check out the action. The European Tour remains in South Africa this week for the South African Open Championship at Serengeti Golf Club in Ekurhuleni. Ernie Els defends the title, he edged out his countryman Retief Goosen by a single shot last time out. It's the second time the South African Open has appeared on the 2011 European Tour schedule. The 2010 tournament, contested last December and won by Ernie Els, was the second event counting towards the 2011 Race to Dubai. This is one of the oldest events to feature on the European Tour. The first South African Open was contested as an exhibition tournament in 1893 and last year was the 100th staging of the competition. The great South African golfers of the last 75 years have made this tournament their own. Bobby Locke won nine times between 1935 and 1955 before Gary Player took over, winning 13 times from 1956 to 1981. Other South African Major winners - Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Trevor Immelman have all lifted the trophy. Last year's tournament at Durban Country Club was a thriller, with the four top-ranked South Africans claiming the top four positions. Ernie Els took the victory by just one shot from Retief Goosen, with Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel in third and fourth places. Oosthuizen and Schwartzel aren't on the start sheet this time out as they're doing battle for the Omega Mission Hills World Cup in China. Both Els and Goosen will be competing, however, together with a strong contingent of home players, including last week's winner of the Alfred Dunhill Championship - Garth Mulroy. Opened for play in 2009, the Serengeti Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus design laid out attractively across the grassland. Water is a feature on a number of holes, particularly on the run for home. Now this course will host the greatest event this weekend and provide plenty of great golf to watch and wager on at Bet Phoenix!
