Green stretches lead to three at Fontana

Golf Betting Lines

06/09/2007 - Vienna, Austria (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australian Richard Green extended his lead to three strokes through three rounds of the BA-CA Golf Open.

Green posted a four-under 67 Saturday at Fontana Golf Club to complete 54 holes at 15-under-par 198.

England's Richard McEvoy climbed into a second place at 12-under-par 201 thanks to a third-round 64. Miguel Angel Jimenez and Steven Jeppesen each shot 69 on Saturday and share third place at minus-11.

Green is on track for his first win since claiming his lone European Tour title at the 1997 Dubai Desert Classic. He got off to a steady start with eight straight pars.

Martin Erlandsson, who played in the final pairing with Green, birdied the third to join Green in the lead at 11-under. Erlandsson had several chances to grab the lead on his own, but could not convert.

The 36-year-old Green finally got on the board with a birdie on the par-five ninth. Around the turn, he rolled in consecutive nine-foot birdie putts from the 12th to move to 14-under, two clear of McEvoy.

Green parred his next four holes to remain there. At the par-five 18th, Green two-putted for birdie to finish three clear of the field as he has played the 18th at four-under through three rounds.

"I feel comfortable on the course, it suits the way I like to putt," admitted Green. "I'll be fairly anxious to win because it's been a long time, but I won't be desperate because I'm not going to put any undue pressure on myself. It's hard to put a finger on why I've not won again, but I do now have more self-belief."

McEvoy jumped from a share of 14th into second with a solid round. He tripped to a bogey on the second to open his round, but came back with birdies on three and four.

The Englishman turned in eight-under thanks to birdies at six and nine. Four more birdies on the back nine moved McEvoy into second place at 12-under.

"It's a bit tough at times when they are going out and winning tournaments, especially Luke (Donald), and you remember being at their standard, but it does give you the determination to do it," said McEvoy of his 2001 Walker Cup teammates Donald, Graeme McDowell, Nick Dougherty and Marc Warren.

McEvoy has had a tough start to his season as he has missed the cut in six of his first seven starts and eight of 11 overall.

Swedes Johan Skold and Michael Jonzon each posted seven-under 64s Saturday to move into a share of fifth place at 10-under-par 203. They were joined there by David Park (68).

Chris Gane (64), Jean-Francois Remesy (65), Gary Orr (66), Jarmo Sandelin (69), Shaun P. Webster (68) and Graeme Storm (69) are tied for eighth at minus-nine.

Erlandsson stumbled on the back nine with a bogey on 15 and a double-bogey at 16. He slid into a share of 14th at eight-under-par 205.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
