04/30/2009 - Girona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Soren Hansen established a new course record Thursday with a nine-under 63 and grabbed the first-round lead of the Spanish Open.
Thomas Levet shot an eight-under 64 and is alone in second place at the Stadium Course at PGA Golf Catalunya.
Spain's Jose Manuel Lara and Callum Macaulay are knotted in third place at minus-seven.
Hansen's new course record looks even more remarkable if you consider the fact that he opened the championship with a double-bogey six at the very first hole.
It didn't take Hansen long to atone for the error at one. He birdied the par- four second and two-putted for a birdie at the 531-yard, par-five third.
"I think it was important that after I holed a good one on the second hole for birdie and then I followed it up with a nice shot into the par-five third," admitted Hansen.
The Ryder Cupper parred his next three, but went on another birdie run, starting at the par-five seventh. Hansen birdied eight and nine and made the turn at three-under 33.
On the second nine, Hansen parred his first two, but made eagle at the par- five 12th. At five-under par, Hansen was near the top of the leaderboard, but it was his play late in Thursday's opening round that secured him the top spot.
Hansen birdied three in a row from the 14th to match Levet at eight-under par. Hansen birdied the par-four finishing hole to grab sole possession of the first-round lead.
"I played well I must admit," said Hansen. "Had a lot of birdies after a rough start with the double-bogey, but then I played fantastic from there.
"It just seemed like I was rolling the ball nicely. If I put it on the green, there was always a chance. A few of them went in so that was nice. I played unbelievable."
Levet began on the 10th tee and rattled off four birdies on his opening nine. He tallied back-to-back birdies at two and three, then eagled the par-five seventh to get in at minus-eight.
Jarmo Sandelin and Chris Wood share fifth place at six-under 66, followed by Alejandro Canizares, Luis Claverie, Jan-Are Larsen, Charl Schwartzel and Marcel Sim, who are knotted in seventh at minus-five.
Defending champion Peter Lawrie shot a four-under 68 on Thursday and is part of a large group tied for 12th place. Paul Lawrie, the 1999 Open Champion, is also at minus-four.
Miguel Angel Jimenez carded a three-under 69, while European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie only managed an even-par 72.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

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."
