Scores are sure to be low at White Sulphur Springs at the outset of July, when some of the best golfers in the world get together for one of the growing events on the PGA Tour Schedule. Join us at Bankroll Sports as we try to beat the Greenbrier Classic odds in one of the last prep events for the 2012 British Open!

2012 Greenbrier Classic Predictions & Info
2012 Greenbrier Classic Dates: Thursday, July 5th – Sunday, July 8th, 2012
2012 Greenbrier Classic Location: The Old White TPC, White Sulphur Springs, WV
Defending Greenbrier Classic Winner: Scott Stallings
2012 Greenbrier Classic TV Coverage – Network: Golf Channel, CBS

It isn’t all that often that we see a golfer come out of nowhere against a relatively strong field to win a tournament on the PGA Tour odds, but that’s what happened last year when the Greenbrier title was taken by Scott Stallings (Defending Greenbrier Classic Champion, Greenbrier Classic Odds: 175 to 1 5Dimes Sportsbook). Of course, the 2011 edition of this tournament wasn’t nearly as popular as it will be this year, as now, it serves as a great prep tourney for the British Open, which is only a couple weeks down the line from here. This is also now a part of the FedEx Cup, which a number of golfers take quite seriously as we head towards the back end of the PGA Tour campaign. Still, Stallings is going to be back, and he is going to be doing so after taking his first, and only PGA Tour title last year here in West Virginia after winning a thrilling three-man playoff.

This figures to be one of the last tournaments that Tiger Woods (The Greenbrier Classic PGA Odds: 3.60 @ 5 Dimes Sportsbook) is going to play before getting ready for the third major of the year. This is actually going to be the first time that Woods has played at the Greenbrier Classic, but there are a number of golfers that can say just that with the tournament now taking place in July and not in August. Woods didn’t play all that well at the Masters or at the US Open, but he is really coming around once again to being one of the best golfers in the world. The scores are expected to be awfully low here at the Greenbrier Classic, knowing that a 59 was shot here just two years ago, when it took a -22 score to get the job done. Woods was able to win a tournament like this at the Arnold Palmer Invitational this year, and if he can figure out how to shoot four rounds in the high-60s to low-70s, there’s no reason to think that he can’t compete for the title in his first go around at the Old White TPC, especially after last week’s remarkable run for another tournament championship.

This is also a tournament that we are expecting Phil Mickelson (Odds to Win Greenbrier Classic: 20 to 1 @ 5Dimes Sportsbook) to perform well at. Mickelson was here last year, but he was one of the few big names to partake in the event. Lefty actually missed the cut, shooting a 70 and a 73 in the first two rounds. Of course, as we came to find out, Mickelson was in the midst of a great run at the major tournaments, finishing second at the British Open and then finishing tied for 19th at the PGA Championship, so one might consider this to be quite the spot for him to open up once again. Mickelson is in a similar spot now, except that he is coming right off of the US Open and headed across the pond, and not the other way around with the trip to the PGA still coming months down the road. It feels like quite some time since Mickelson’s last win at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, but since that point, he has come close and finished in the Top 10 a whopping four other times, including finishing third at this year’s Masters.

It was a rough month of June for Zach Johnson (Odds to Win The Greenbrier Classic: 20 to 1 @ 5Dimes Sportsbook), but this could be the spot where he turns things around this year. Johnson didn’t make the cut at the FedEx St. Jude Classic to start his month, and he followed that up with some disastrous rounds at the US Open, finishing at +11. This is going to be the first time that Johnson plays at the Greenbrier in his career, and we can count on him for what should be some low scores, as he finally gets those rounds back in the 60s on a more consistent basis. This could be a golfer that is a bit of a longshot on the PGA odds to make a case at heading to the winner’s circle this week.
