The 2011 Bob Hope Classic Six-Pack

Okay, let’s send out a cheery congrats to Mark Wilson for capturing his third PGA Tour victory.  Had you been keen on him and laid down a $5 wager, that five spot would have turned into $1,250!  That’s right, in some European books, Mr. Wilson was an astonishing 250:1 odds of winning.
