Golf Betting Blog: Outsiders take home the winnings

What sport do you see two guys with a combined age of 96 chasing down a 23-year-old? There can't be many.

After over five months on the sidelines, Chris Wood (150/1) finished solo 4th and his place money wasn't the only prize he took home this week.

His hole-in-one at 14 saw him walk away with a £100,000 BMW, the fifth slam dunk of the week. The most on Tour since 2006. Insurance policies were made for weeks like this.

And we have to mention Colin Montgomerie (10/1) on his Senior PGA Championship victory, his 3rd major on the senior circuit. Let's take a look at the numbers: regular majors record (0-for-72). Senior majors record (3-for-10). Oh Monty.
