Karlsson Thursday Highlight Smash Down Harrington

Golf Betting Lines

Cadiz, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Spain's Jose Manuel Lara had six birdies and shot a five-under 66 on Thursday to take the first-round lead at the Volvo Masters, the final event on the European Tour schedule. Niclas Fasth of Sweden, Australian Richard Green and Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell are tied for second place at four-under 67. Johan Edfors of Sweden and Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain are one shot further back at 68.

 

Seeking his first Harry Vardon Trophy, current Order of Merit leader Paul Casey struggled through illness on Day 1 and opened poorly with a five-over 76.

 

Tied for 43rd place, the Englishman acknowledged the importance of the Order of Merit race and admitted its relevance in his decision not to withdraw from the event.

 

Casey ended David Howell's bid for an unprecedented wire-to-wire Order of Merit title when he bested a world-class field at the HSBC World Match Play Championship last month.

 

Now, he can only be overtaken by three players this week: the Irishman Harrington, fellow Englishman Howell and Robert Karlsson of Sweden.

 

"The damage is that I played well and didn't score," said Harrington, who joined Casey in the round's final pairing. "I could have played awful and shot a better score.

 

Howell carded a one-under 70 and finished the day tied for 14th. He is still battling a shoulder injury that has adversely facilitated his drop to third place in the Order of Merit rankings.

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.
