LAS VEGAS HILTON RELEASES ODDS, MAKES TSENG 2011 U.S. WOMEN'S OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP FAVORITE

YANI TSENG

In the city where gambling is king, one Las Vegas sportsbook knows exactly who the queen of women's golf is at the moment.

The Las Vegas Hilton sports book, the leading oddsmaker in Sin City, released its odds Tuesday and, to no surprise, made star Yani Tseng the favorite to win this week's 2011 U.S. Women's Open Championship at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Co.

Tseng, who most recently won the Wegmans LPGA Championship in Pittsford, N.Y., opened as the 4-1 favorite to win another major championship and complete her quest for the career Grand Slam.

American star Cristie Kerr, currently ranked No. 2 in the Rolex world rankings behind Tseng, is the second betting choice at 13-2, followed by Norway's Suzann Pettersen at 10-1 odds. Defending U.S. Women's Open champion Paula Creamer, along with South Korean standouts I.K. Kim and Jiyai Shin, sit at 15-1 as tournament action commences Thursday in the Rocky Mountain region.

Here's a look at all odds, including head-to-head wagering between players, at the Las Vegas Hilton sportsbook:
