Miyazato still in front at Safeway Classic

Golf Betting Lines

08/21/2010 - North Plains, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ai Miyazato posted a five-under 67 on Saturday to stay atop the leaderboard after the second round of the Safeway Classic.

Miyazato, the first-round leader of this 54-hole event, finished two rounds at 11-under 133 and is three strokes ahead at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club. She will be in search of her fifth win this season alone and would move back to No. 1 in the world if she emerges victorious on Sunday.

Song-Hee Kim fired an eight-under 64 on Saturday and vaulted into a tie for second place with Na Yeon Choi, who had a five-under 67. The pair is knotted at eight-under 136.

There was another player at eight-under par, but things turned out poorly.

Hall of Famer Juli Inkster shot a five-under 67 in round two, but was disqualified for violating Rule 14-3/10, Use of a Training or Swing Aid During a Round.

She was using a weighted device on her club when she was taking practice swings on the 10th tee.

"I had a 30 minute wait and I needed to loosen up. It had no effect on my game whatsoever, but it is what it is. I'm very disappointed," said Inkster.

Miyazato first broke into red figures on Saturday with a birdie at the par- four second. She parred her next three holes, but caught fire before the end of her front nine.

At the par-four sixth, Miyazato rolled in an eight-foot birdie putt. She made it two in a row with a 15-footer at the seventh and was in the lead at nine- under par.

Miyazato closed her front nine with a five-foot birdie putt at the par-five ninth, the second of three consecutive par-five holes around the turn at Pumpkin Ridge.

Miyazato took advantage of the third par five in a row thanks to a two-putt birdie. She reached 11-under par, but trouble loomed immediately for the world No. 2.

She bogeyed the par-three 11th, a hole she birdied in round one, and landed in a greenside bunker at 12. Miyazato caught way too much ball from the sand and her bunker shot sailed over the green. She didn't reach the putting surface with her fourth shot and it looked like a big number was imminent. Miyazato chipped in for a tough, albeit unlikely bogey.

"I thought there would be more sand in the bunker, but then it was a bit less than I thought," she said of her bunker shot on 12. "It was kind of too clean, because I thought that there was more sand underneath. It was really lucky I think."

After two pars, Miyazato got back on track. She hit her third 10 feet right of the flag at the par-five 15th and holed her birdie putt. One hole later, Miyazato spun her tee ball back to six feet and cashed in on the birdie chance.

She had a good look at birdie at the short, par-four 17th, but her six-footer stayed above ground. Miyazato parred the last to keep her spot atop the leaderboard.

"I just try to take it one shot at a time and I think I did really well controlling myself in between shots as well," said Miyazato.

World No. 1 Cristie Kerr (67) and former world No. 1 Jiyai Shin (68) are knotted in fourth place at minus-seven.

Ji Young Oh (64), Stacy Lewis (67), Eun-Hee Ji (69) and Jee Young Lee (71) share sixth place at six-under 138.

NOTES: If any of the top-five players in the world - Kerr, Miyazato, Shin, Suzann Pettersen or Yani Tseng - wins this week, they would assume the top spot...The 36-hole cut fell at three-over par and last year's winner M.J. Hur, Morgan Pressel and Paula Creamer missed the mark.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
