Bookmakers mistake costs them $2.1 million
Apparently they thought it was a "lock"
 The Irish bookmaking firm Paddy Power was so certain Tiger Woods would win the PGA Championship that it paid out $2.1 million in winnings to Woods' backers before Woods teed off in Saturday's third round. The firm has made early payouts before, and Woods' four-shot lead prompted it to try the strategy again -- which should yield in free publicity what it cost in payoffs to bettors. "It takes a special kind of dimwit to turn what should have been our best-ever golf result into our worst,'' the firm said in a news release Sunday night. "Paddy Power punters are obviously the big winners here and have made like bandits getting paid out on Tiger as a winner. Our only saving grace is that [Irishman Padraig] Harrington didn't do the business, thank God!'' Those who favored Yang made out even better. His pre-tournament odds with Paddy Power were 150-1, and he was 16-1 going into Sunday's final round.
