Birdie Putt Warns Feet From Place

Golf Betting Lines

Ochoa, who last week won in her native Mexico, started nicely with two birdies in her first three holes, including a seven-footer at the third. She did not record another birdie on the front nine and made the turn at two-under-par 34.

 

Ochoa birdied the 10th, then parred No. 11. At the 12th, Ochoa two-putted from close to 50 feet for a birdie, which got her to four-under par and tied for the lead at the time.

 

Sorenstam, the two-time defending champion and a five-time winner of this event, bogeyed the second, but got the stroke back with a birdie at the par- five third.

 

The Swede broke into red figures with a three-foot birdie putt at the seventh. At the par-three eighth, Sorenstam drained a birdie putt from a similar length as the hole before and made the turn at minus-two.

 

The other contenders for Player of the Year are under par as well. Karrie Webb, second on the money list, and Cristie Kerr joined LPGA Champion Se Ri Pak in a tie for seventh at one-under-par 71.

 

Women's British Open champion Sherri Steinhauer and U.S. Women's Open runner- up Pat Hurst are tied for 10th at even-par 72.

 

Todd Fischer and Tom Pernice, Jr. both shot 65s at Summerlin on Friday and are tied for second place with Aaron Baddeley. The young Australian, who earned his first PGA Tour victory earlier this year at The Heritage, was tied for the lead with Points until a disastrous double-bogey at 18. He carded a six-under 65 at The Canyons and joined Fischer and Pernice at minus-12.

 

Points flew out of the gate with a 26-foot birdie putt at the second and an eight-foot eagle putt at No. 3. He hit his approach stiff at the seventh and tapped in the short birdie putt.

 

He continued his strong play on the second nine as he parred his first three holes on the back side. At the par-five 13th, Points tapped in a short birdie putt, then sank a six-footer at the 14th to reach 13-under par for the championship.

 

Points overcame the miscue at 16 with six-foot birdie putt at the par-three 17th and a two-footer for birdie at the last to grab first place.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.

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.
