Golf Betting Lines

08/09/2008 - Bloomfield Hills Township, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Play has been suspended due to inclement weather during the third round of the PGA Championship at the South Course at Oakland Hills.

All players were brought in off the course, generally signifying the delay is expected to last a little while.

Heavy rain hammered the course and thunder and lightning are in the area. This is the second stoppage of the championship. Play was halted for one hour, 25 minutes during Thursday's first round.

Thunderstorms are in the forecast all day Saturday and the greens are already starting to puddle.

The final pairing of leader J.B. Holmes and Charlie Wi have yet to tee off in the third round. Three other groups have yet to complete a hole.

Ben Curtis, the 2003 British Open champion, and Justin Rose are tied for second with Wi at even-par 140.

Andres Romero held a share of the lead when play was suspended on Thursday, but a bogey on the 18th hole Friday morning dropped him out of the first-round lead.

He shot an eight-over 78 in round two to fall down the leaderboard, but Romero fired the lowest round of the championship on Saturday with a five-under 65. He has vaulted into a tie for eighth place at two-over 212.

Steve Flesch is two-under through five holes of round three and is tied for fifth at plus-one. David Toms, the 2001 PGA Champion, and Henrik Stenson are also at plus-one, but have yet to register a score on Saturday.

Phil Mickelson, the 2005 PGA Champion, will have a six-foot eagle putt at the sixth hole when play resumes. He is even-par through five holes and at plus- three for the championship.

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.
