Congratulations to Zach Johnson on winning the 2007 US Masters.

Well, I had my first online sports book bet, placed on Tiger Woods. I placed my bet part way through the third round as Tiger was back from the pack and the odds had slightly improved so I stood to make a fair return for my wager.

I used Victor Chandler (VC Bet) to place the bet. I created an online account in a matter of minutes and then deposited my funds. Placing the bet was also very easy. I just navigated to the Golf section, the Masters had its own area and then I selected Tiger to win.

Here is a summarized report from the Masters.org website. Please follow this link for the full report.

Johnson, a 31-year-old Iowan, played the round of his life at Augusta National Golf Club.Challenged by some of the game’s greatest champions, among them four-time winner Tiger Woods and two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, Johnson relied on his skill, guile and heart to shoot a final round three-under-par 69 for a 289 total, and a two-shot victory in the Masters....In a final day that saw six golfers lead at some point, Johnson took the lead alone for the first time with a birdie at the 13th hole. He laid up his second shot on the par 5 hole, hit an approach in ideal position, and made the 10-foot putt....“I could tell from the fans what was going on. At the 14th hole, (Green) said we’ve got a 2-shot lead.”...Sabbatini said of Johnson’s round, “That’s phenomenal … under the circumstances, that’s just great golf.”“It just goes to prove that if you focus on what you’re doing and you don’t think ahead, you’re going to be fine,” Sabbatini said.

Oh well, heres looking forward to the next golf competition for me to bet on!.
