Golf Betting Lines

07/17/2010 - St. Andrews, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A wind delay Friday forced the completion of the second round of the British Open into Saturday morning.

Louis Oosthuizen remained atop the leaderboard as he finished his five-under 67 on Friday.

Oosthuizen completed two rounds at 12-under-par 132, which matched the low 36- hole score for an Open Championship at St. Andrews. Nick Faldo and Greg Norman both posted 132 in 1990.

Mark Calcavecchia, the 1989 Open champion at Royal Troon, also carded a 67 to move into second place at seven-under-par 137.

Englishmen Paul Casey (69) and Lee Westwood (71) share third place at minus- six. They were joined there by Alejandro Canizares (71) and amateur Jin Jeong (70). Jeong was the only amateur to make the cut.

Three-time Open champion Tiger Woods birdied the 18th hole Friday to finish off a one-over 73. He shares 14th place at four-under-par 140.

First-round leader Rory McIlory stumbled to an eight-over 80 to drop into a tie for 38th at one-under-par 143. McIlroy opened with a 63 on Thursday, matching the lowest score in major championship history.

World No. 2 Phil Mickelson shot a 71 that left him at even-par 144 and tied for 43rd.

Miguel Angel Jimenez (67), 1996 British Open champion Tom Lehman (68), Ricky Barnes (71), Peter Hanson (73), U.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell (68), Retief Goosen (70) and Sean O'Hair (72) share seventh place at five-under-par 139. O'Hair was the only player to shoot par after the wind delay.

Stephen Tiley, who was in the last group out off the first tee Friday, stood at minus-six through 10 holes when play was stopped Friday evening. He returned Saturday morning and dropped seven strokes over his final eight holes to tumble to plus-one.

Tom Watson, who nearly won his sixth Open Championship last year, closed with a birdie at the 18th Friday in the final group to complete their round. However, his three-over 75 left him two strokes over the cut line.

NOTES: The cut line fell at two-over-par 146 and 77 players moved on to the weekend...Zach Johnson and Rickie Fowler, who came back from a first-round 79 to shoot five-under 67 in the second round, made the cut on the number...Among those that missed the final two rounds were Justin Rose, Mike Weir, 2002 Open champion Ernie Els, Davis Love III, Angel Cabrera, 2003 winner Ben Curtis, 2004 champ Todd Hamilton, K.J. Choi, Jim Furyk, two-time champion Padraig Harrington, three-time winner and six-time major titlist Faldo and 2001 champion David Duval.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
