Second Round Warns Island For Championship

Golf Betting Lines

He wasted little time in breaking into red figures with a birdie at the first and a birdie at the par-five fourth. He added another birdie at seven, but dropped a shot a nine, his first bogey since his fourth hole in Friday's second round.

 

Snedeker owned a four-shot lead, but back-to-back bogeys at 13 and 14 tightened up the contest. Kuchar, a former winner on the PGA Tour, was even through nine holes, but three back-nine birdies, including one at 17, got Kuchar within one.

 

Snedeker birdied the 17th hole to extend his lead to two. He parred his final hole and will be in position to secure his PGA Tour card for next year as he will surely finish inside the requisite top 20 on the money list.

 

Andrew Buckle and Craig Bowden both shot rounds of four-under 68 and are tied for fifth place at nine-under-par 207.

 

John Merrick, who shared second place after the second round, only managed an even-par 72 on Saturday. He is knotted in seventh place with Chris Parra, who posted a two-under 70 in the third round, at minus-eight.

 

Following back-to-back wins by Lorena Ochoa, the LPGA Tour is in Asia for the first of three consecutive tournaments on the continent.

 

The 145-yard, par-three 17th at Amata Spring Country Club is Asia's only island green. Both of the co-leaders escaped with par there in the first round.

 

Forty-three players in a field of 60 shot par or better Friday while negotiating lakes, rivers and considerable elevation change at the challenging par-72 layout.

 

Some of them performed better than others.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
