Should Thomas Bjorn or Tom Lewis end up winning The Open Championship 2011, the payout odds would be 200 to 1 or greater.
Danish veteran Thomas Bjorn sat atop the leadership board with 200 to 1 odds of winning The Championship. Amateur Tom Lewis was next on the leaderboard with odds of 250 to 1.
Bjorn, 40, fired a five-under 65 on Thursday morning and was joined late in the day by the 20-year-old Lewis.
Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez was next atop the leaderboard and had odds of winning The Open Championship at 150 to 1.
Favorite to win, Rory McIlroy was far down the leaderboard and presented no threat coming into Day 2.
The odds noted here were likely slashed by the time you are reading this, but the payouts should still be substantial assuming either golfer hangs on for another grueling three days.
