Golf Betting Lines

Bowden overcame a triple-bogey at the 10th hole thanks to a mistake by his caddy. He finished with his second consecutive three-under 69 and is alone in second at minus-six.

 

Tom Johnson, Jarrod Lyle and Michael Sim are all five-under par, but have yet to complete their second rounds.

 

On the second nine, Stadler reached five-under par for the championship with a birdie at the second. He recorded birdies at the par-five sixth and the par- four eighth to move into the lead.

 

But it meant a lot for Stadler to play well this week, because he has not played well lately. After his win in Boise, Stadler missed the cut in his last two starts.

 

"I really didn't know what to expect," acknowledged Stadler. "I wasn't hitting it very good coming in. Thankfully, it's kind of like a light switch for me. It's either good or bad."

 

"I'd rather him learn that here as opposed to going out on the regular tour and costing me the U.S. Open or something," said Bowden, who is second on the money list and also going to the PGA Tour in 2007. "We took it on the chin as a team right there."

 

Chonburi, Thailand (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Far from home, Nicole Castrale is nearing her first LPGA win. Castrale, a Southern California native, fired a four-under 68 on Saturday to take a two-shot lead over Hee-Won Han heading into the final round of the Honda LPGA Thailand.

 

"I can play well and possibly not win," she said about Sunday. "Hopefully that doesn't happen, but hopefully I play well and see what happens. That is all I can really do."

 

Castrale, 27, turned professional in 2001 but hasn't played much on the LPGA Tour. She won back-to-back tournaments on the Futures Tour in 2005 and finished fourth on the money list to earn her exempt status for this year's LPGA season.

 

Saturday, Castrale successfully negotiated lakes, rivers and considerable elevation change at the challenging par-72 layout to record six birdies and two bogeys.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
