Johnson out of PGA Championship playoff

Golf Betting Lines

08/15/2010 - Kohler, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dustin Johnson was given a two-stroke penalty after his round on Sunday and that knocked him out of a playoff for the PGA Championship.

"I don't know if I can describe it," Johnson told CBS' David Feherty Sunday. "Walking up there, seeing the shot, never once did it cross my mind it was a sand trap."

Johnson held a one-stroke lead on the 18th tee Sunday and pushed his drive into the gallery on the right. His ball landed in a small sandy patch and he grounded his club before pulling his shot well left of the green.

He pitched to seven feet and if he would have made it, he thought that would've been for the title. Johnson missed and thought he was headed to a playoff with Bubba Watson and Martin Kaymer.

"The only worse thing that could've happened is if I would have made that putt," Johnson said.

When Johnson walked off the green, he was greeted by a PGA official. Johnson and playing partner Nick Watney sat in the scorer's tent for several minutes before it was determined that Johnson was getting a two-stroke penalty for grounding his club.

"If it was up to me, I wouldn't have thought I was in a bunker, but it's not up to me," Johnson said.

"That was an area that was designed and built as a bunker," PGA official Mark Wilson said.

Johnson ended up with a one-over 73 and missed the playoff by two strokes.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
