Haas At Holes Championship

Golf Betting Lines

Jhonattan Vegas, Dean Wilson, Joe Ogilvie and Kyle Stanley posted three-under 67s in the morning and share third place. Vegas posted the lone bogey-free round of the day.

 

Scott, who earned his seventh PGA Tour win last year at the Texas Open, parred the first two holes before rolling in a 20-footer for birdie on the third. He made it two in a row with a 25-foot birdie putt on No. 4.

 

At the par-four 10th, Scott's drive found the right rough, and his second made it to the right fringe. However, he three-putted for bogey from there to slip back to minus-two.

 

Scott, who has missed four cuts in 10 starts this season, hit a stellar tee shot on the par-three 14th to two feet and kicked that in for birdie. At the 18th, Scott hit sand-wedge to 15 feet and converted that putt for birdie to get in at minus-four.

 

Haas caught fire in the middle of the back nine, his opening nine on Thursday. After three pars to open his round, Haas drained a 16-footer for birdie on the 13th.

 

Haas carded five straight pars around the turn. He converted a 15-footer for birdie on the fourth to move to minus-five. At the seventh, his tee ball missed the fairway well left, but he had a clear shot to the green.

 

"I just really focused on keeping the ball below the hole and getting the ball in play," Haas stated. "And to be honest, the holes I didn't get it in play, I hit great shots out of the rough and ended up making birdie off one of them, so that kind of helps."

 

Bandon, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cheyenne Woods put on a near-record performance, besting Alex Stewart, 8 & 7, to reach the quarterfinals of the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship. Woods, the niece of Tiger Woods, nearly matched the 9 & 7 posted four different times in tournament history, with the last coming in 2006. She moved on to face Annie Park, who beat Julie Yang, 1-up, at Bandon Dunes' Bandon Trails course.

 

Defending champion Emily Tubert was knocked out by Brianna Do, 1-up. Tubert led as late as the 13th hole before surrendering the lead and eventually the match.

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview


“You play to win the game!”

Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.

The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.

The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.

Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?

Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.

New York Giants betting lines

Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.

Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.

Dallas Cowboys betting lines

Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.

The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.

Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.

Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.

Oakland Raiders betting lines

This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.

First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”

The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason. 

Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
