Second Round Sparks Snedeker Over Lpga

Golf Betting Lines

Snedeker, who won this year's Scholarship America Showdown and lost in a playoff at the Chattanooga Classic, appeared to be in good shape as he brought a three-stroke lead into round three.

 

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.

 

Among the unique features of this event -- the first LPGA tournament held in Thailand -- is a true island green, where players are ferried by boat to their balls.

 

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.

 

Stacy Prammanasudh, whose father was born in Thailand, opened with an even-par 72 and is tied for 35th place.

 

Aree Song returned to her home country and shot a two-over 74 to end the day tied for 48th place.

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.

MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
