Birdie Putt On Summerlin Canyons

Golf Betting Lines

The 17-year-old birdied 17 on the way in to salvage her round.

 

Ochoa birdied the 10th, then parred No. 11. At the 12th, Ochoa two-putted from close to 50 feet for a birdie, which got her to four-under par and tied for the lead at the time.

 

Sorenstam, the two-time defending champion and a five-time winner of this event, bogeyed the second, but got the stroke back with a birdie at the par- five third.

 

The Swede broke into red figures with a three-foot birdie putt at the seventh. At the par-three eighth, Sorenstam drained a birdie putt from a similar length as the hole before and made the turn at minus-two.

 

For the first time in five years, Sorenstam is not a shoe-in to win Player of the Year honors, although a sixth title in this event would go a long way to closing the gap between herself and Ochoa.

 

Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.A. Points fired an eight-under 64 on Friday at the TPC at Summerlin Course to cruise into the lead during the second round of the Frys.com Open. He stands at 14-under-par 129 and is two ahead of the field. The second round was suspended due to darkness after a rain delay during the round knocked the schedule back. The players will return at 10:16 a.m. (et) Saturday to complete the second round with the third round scheduled to begin 90 minutes later.

 

The par-72 Summerlin Course and the par-71 TPC at Canyons were used for the first two rounds before the TPC at Summerlin takes over on the weekend.

 

Points flew out of the gate with a 26-foot birdie putt at the second and an eight-foot eagle putt at No. 3. He hit his approach stiff at the seventh and tapped in the short birdie putt.

 

Points' first and only mistake of the round came at the par-five 16th. He hammered a drive down the fairway, but was between clubs and hit a poor second that nearly fell into the water. Points was close enough to the pond he took off his shoes and socks, but did not hit his chip hard enough. Points chipped again, nearly holed it out, but missed a four-footer for par.

 

Points overcame the miscue at 16 with six-foot birdie putt at the par-three 17th and a two-footer for birdie at the last to grab first place.

 

Points is in serious jeopardy of losing his PGA Tour card unless he turns it on down the stretch. He stands 164th on the tour's money list and needs a push to crack the top-125.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
