Local Time Joins Birdie For Wilkinson

Golf Betting Lines

Waugh birdied the first three holes at the start of her round. She came back with birdies at five and seven as she made the turn at five-under.

 

Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Corey Pavin, the 1995 U.S. Open winner, established a new PGA Tour record on Thursday when posted a front-nine, eight- under-par 26 in the first round of the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee. "I've never done anything like that before," said Pavin, who finished with a course-record-tying, nine-under-par 61. "It was pretty exciting for me. It was amazing."

 

The round was suspended at close to 6:00 p.m. (et) Thursday as heavy rain forced a weather delay of nearly four hours. The first round will resume at 8:00 a.m. Friday morning.

 

Less than half of the field completed their first rounds with several players yet to tee off.

 

At the fifth, Pavin hit a six-iron to 30 feet and converted that long birdie putt. He collected his sixth birdie in a row at the par-five sixth when he wedged his third to four feet.

 

"I kind of messed up seven, didn't I?" joked Pavin.

 

Pavin did not let the par bother him as he knocked a seven-iron to 15 feet to set up birdie at the eighth. He closed the front nine with another birdie, this one from eight feet.

 

Pavin was now nine-under par and two birdies in the final two holes would get him to golf's magical number of 59.

 

He hit a poor drive at 17, but made par. Needing an eagle on the par-five 18th for a sub-60 round, Pavin drove into the rough and had 269 yards to the flag. He could not get home in two and had to hole a five-footer to save par.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
