First Round Beats Birdie At Birdies

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.

 

He rolled in a 35-foot birdie putt at the first, then kicked in a short birdie putt at two that was less than a foot from the hole. Pavin hit a seven-iron to three feet to set up birdie at the par-three third, then made it four in a row when he drained another long putt, this time from 38 feet at the fourth.

 

Things fell apart after that. At the par-three seventh, Pavin had a look at birdie, but could not hole the putt.

 

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.

 

Things cooled off considerably for Pavin on the back nine. He didn't have nearly as many good looks at birdie, but at the 16th Pavin hit a wedge to eight feet and sank the birdie putt.

 

Pavin did, matching Steve Lowery's course record from 1999.

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.
