With Ricky Barnes leading the way at the 2009 US Open heading into what would normally by the final round, 2009 US Open odds have been updated at Sportsinteraction.com.

Interestingly enough it is not Ricky Barnes who was listed as the favorite heading into Sunday but rather Mike Weir, who was three down, but also the most prominent of the top three. Weir would pay out $325 for every $100 bet with a win.

Ricky Barnes, meanwhile, would pay out the same amount as Tiger Woods - $1000 for every $100 bet.

"That's a steal considering what Barnes had accomplished on Saturday," states Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com. Barnes set an all time record by ending the second round with a 36-hole total of 8-under-par 132.

Barnes took over the lead from Lucas Glover, who was now in 2^nd place and promised a payout of $400 for every $100 bet.

But one of the two highly touted favorites to win the 2009 US Open heading into the tournament is still in the thick of things: That being Phil Mickelson. He's only down tied in 12^th position compared to Tiger Woods in 34^th. Mickelson would pay out $900 for every $100 bet.
