Golf Betting Lines

11/18/2008 - Coral Springs, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - John Morse posted a five-under 67 Tuesday to take a one-shot lead after the opening round of the Champions Tour National Qualifying Tournament.

Morse split time between the PGA and Nationwide Tours in 2008 before playing in his first Champions Tour event at the Principal Charity Classic.

Mark W. Johnson, the 2005 Toshiba Seniors Classic winner, and Steve Thomas share second place at minus-four at the TPC at Eagle Trace.

Robert Thompson is alone in fourth at three-under-par 69, while Kirk Hanefeld and Mike San Filippo are tied for fifth at two-under 70.

Morse opened with a bogey on the first, but rebounded with birdies at four and six. He turned in minus-one, then moved up the leaderboard with consecutive birdies at 10 and 11.

The 50-year-old, who won once on the PGA and Nationwide Tours, parred five in a row from the 12th. Morse then birdied the 17th and 18th to grab first place after the first of four rounds.

Johnson played the back nine first. He notched two birdies and two bogeys over his first seven holes. He drained back-to-back birdie tries from the 17th and again from the fourth to move to minus-four.

After a bogey at six, Johnson bounced back to birdie the seventh.

Thomas birdied three of the first five holes, but faltered to a bogey at six. He recovered that lost stroke with a birdie on the eighth. Thomas parred nine of the last 10 holes to go with a birdie on 15 that got him to minus-four.

Three former winners on the PGA Tour - Jay Don Blake, David Ogrin and Russ Cochran - headline a group tied at one-under-par 71. They were joined there by Jon Fiedler, Jim Chancey, Juan Quiros, Jack Ferenz, Mitch Adams and Mark Balen.

James Mason and Ron Streck, both former winners on the Champions Tour, are among 10 players tied at even-par 72.

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.
