Woods, who is from Phoenix, won the first two holes with pars and was at least 2-up the rest of the way. She won the fourth with a par and the sixth with a birdie to go 4-up.

 

Defending champion Emily Tubert was a 4 & 2 winner over Mandi Morrow. Tubert will face Harin Lee in round two on Thursday. Last year's runner-up Lisa McCloskey fell 2 & 1 to Catherine Dolan.

 

Sally Watson. who played on the Great Britain and Ireland Curtis Cup team last year, earned a 2 & 1 win Wednesday.

 

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The PGA Tour announced several changes to the Bob Hope event in La Quinta, California, including a different name and format. Starting in 2012, the event formerly known as the Bob Hope Classic will be called The Humana Challenge. The tour, Humana and the William J. Clinton Foundation entered into an eight-year agreement.

 

"Humana, the Clinton Foundation and the PGA Tour will work together to promote health and well-being in order to positively impact people's behavior and improve their quality of life," said PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem.

 

The number of courses in the rotation was trimmed as well. LaQuinta Country Club, PGA West Nicklaus Private Course and PGA West Palmer Private will remain part of the tournament, but SilverRock Resort was dropped.

 

Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australian Richard Green and Englishman Graeme Storm both posted rounds of six-under 65 on Thursday to share the first-round lead of the Open de France. George Coetzee got to seven-under par, but bogeyed 15 and 17 to shoot a five- under 66. He is tied for third place with Thorbjorn Olesen and James Morrison at Le Golf National.

 

World No. 4 Martin Kaymer carded a respectable even-par 71, but the man he beat in a playoff last year for the PGA Championship fared slightly worse on Thursday.

 

Green parred his first two holes, then rattled off back-to-back birdies at the third and fourth holes. He parred the next four, but caught fired around, and after, the turn.

 

The Aussie birdied nine and 10 to reach four-under par. Green parred No. 11, but recorded three consecutive birdies from the 12th to get into the lead at seven-under par.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
