Champions Tour Helps Tournament Over Place

Golf Betting Lines

"It did give me a bit of comfort the last couple of holes when I had a three- shot lead," Harrington admitted. "I knew I could go left all the way home and be safe. After that good par on 14, I knew I had it."

 

With a chance to win the Order of Merit for the first time, he said "it looks like I'll be there" at the Mallorca Classic in two weeks.

 

Loar flew up the leaderboard with five birdies in a six-hole stretch from the fifth to grab a share of the lead with Dredge and Harrington at 14-under. However, Loar bogeyed the 11th and stumbled to two more bogeys down the stretch to end in a share of second.

 

Peter Hanson was joined by Casey in sixth place at 10-under-par 278. Henrik Stenson, Lee Westwood, Paul Broadhurst, Simon Dyson, Johan Edfors, James Kingston and Soren Kjeldsen shared 10th at minus-nine.

 

Jenkins finished the tournament at 10-under-par 134 for a one-shot victory over Champions Tour money leader Loren Roberts and Chip Beck, playing in his third event on the elder circuit.

 

The win was Jenkins' seventh on the Champions Tour and his first this season. His last victory came at last year's Allianz Championship.

 

Last week's winner at the Greater Hickory Classic, Andy Bean, and Jim Ahern shared sixth place at minus-five. Raymond Floyd, Gil Morgan, Scott Hoch and Brad Bryant tied for eighth at four-under-par 140.

 

His win almost inevitable since opening with a course-record-tying 62 on Thursday, Na finished one shot shy of tying the tournament record of 267 held by four players.

 

Chris Tidland fired a five-under 66 to move into a tie for second place with Jeff Quinney (71) at 13-under 271. Grant Waite was one shot further back at 272 following a 71.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
