Birdie Putt Place Salvage Name From Par-five

Golf Betting Lines

Bowden was even par for his opening nine holes with two bogeys and two birdies. He started the second nine with a six-foot eagle putt on the par-five 10th.

 

Bowden closed a run of three straight birdies on the 17th. That got him to 14- under as he closed with a par on the last to end alongside Armour.

 

"I've been playing good golf all year long, but I'm surprised to be in the picture. Realistically, I thought I had no shot after the first round," Bowden said of his opening 70.

 

Deane Pappas and Brad Adamonis each shot 66 to move into a share of seventh at 12-under-par 201. They were joined there by Brendon De Jonge (68), Andrew Johnson (68), John Mallinger (70), Bryce Molder (69) and Peter Tomasulo (67).

 

Grand Blanc, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiger Woods posted his third consecutive round of six-under-par 66 on Saturday to move two clear of the field after three rounds of the Buick Open. He stands at 18-under-par 198 at Warwick Hills Country Club. If Woods heads into the winner's circle (he has won 35 out of 38 times on the PGA Tour with at least a share of the 54-hole lead), he will collect PGA Tour victory No. 50. He would become the seventh man to accomplish the feat, but would be the youngest to do it at the age of 30.

 

Standing in Woods' way on Sunday will be Scott Verplank, Lucas Glover and Robert Allenby, all of whom shot 66s on Saturday and are knotted at 16-under- par 200.

 

"We all have to earn our way," said Glover. "It's up to us to get there. We all want to play. Captain Lehman can make up his mind on the next two. If we earn it, we'll be stronger when we get over there."

 

Before they start figuring Ryder Cup points, there's the matter of trying to catch the No. 1 player in the world.

 

Woods bogeyed his second hole, but atoned for the dropped stroke with back-to- back birdies from the third. He parred three straight, but rolled in a 25- footer for birdie at the eighth. That got Woods to 14-under par, but he trailed Vaughn Taylor by two.

 

Several players grabbed a share of first throughout the back nine, but Woods once again distanced himself. At the par-five 13th, Woods two-putted for a birdie to get to minus-16 and take the lead, but Glover and Verplank already got into the clubhouse at the same number by the time Woods made it to the 14th tee.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

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."

Big 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
