Creamer still tied for lead at SBS Open

Golf Betting Lines

02/17/2007 - Oahu, HI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paula Creamer and Sherri Steinhauer both shot two- under 70 Friday to remain tied for the lead after two rounds of the SBS Open.

Creamer and Steinhauer, part of a three-way tie for the lead after the first round, were joined by Morgan Pressel at seven-under-par 137. Pressel tied for the round of the day with a four-under 68.

Hee-Won Han had a three-under 69 and was alone in fourth place at six-under 138. Pat Hurst (68), Julieta Granada (71) and Janice Moodie (70) were tied for fifth at five-under 139.

One shot further back were the No. 2 and 3 players in the world: Lorena Ochoa and Karrie Webb. Ochoa shot a 69 and Webb had a 70 at Turtle Bay Resort. They were joined in eighth place by Janice Moodie (70).

In all, there are 16 players within five shots of the lead heading into Saturday's final round.

Creamer got to seven-under par with an 10-foot birdie putt at No. 9, her second birdie on the front nine. She ran into trouble with back-to-back bogeys from the 11th, but got both shots back with strong wedge shots.

At the 14th, she knocked a 54-degree wedge within four feet to set up birdie, and at the 18th she hit a 58-degree wedge to six feet for a closing birdie.

"It is difficult with all of the wind," Creamer said. "You have to land balls short."

After going winless last season, the eighth-ranked Creamer is looking for her first title since breaking through for a pair of victories in 2005, when she was the LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year.

"I think that I've kind of overcome that whole let's try to win and win and win. I just need to let it come to me," said Creamer.

"Last year was a lot of...trying to force things to do it. I just need to go out and play like I've been playing. That is what I've realized, so we'll see what goes on tomorrow."

Steinhauer, the reigning Women's British Open champion, mixed six birdies with four bogeys in her second round. She was at eight-under after posting back- to-back birdies at the 13th and 14th, but dropped back with a bogey on the 15th.

The highlight of her round was a 15-foot birdie putt at No. 9, which came two holes after she three-putted from 60 feet for bogey at No. 7.

"I would have liked to eliminate the bogeys, but I played a lot of solid holes," said Steinhauer.

Pressel, the 2005 U.S. Women's Amateur champion, is still looking for her first LPGA Tour win. She came within inches of holding the lead alone when a chip for birdie at the 18th ended at the edge of the cup.

"I never put myself into too much trouble today, which was nice," said Pressel, who had five birdies with just one bogey.

Because the tournament runs Thursday-Saturday, the 36-hole cut came at the end of Friday's round and fell at four-over 148. World No. 4 Cristie Kerr (149) and defending champion Joo Mi Kim (151) were among the players missing the weekend.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
