South Africa In Thailand Bowden

Golf Betting Lines

Bowden overcame a triple-bogey at the 10th hole thanks to a mistake by his caddy. He finished with his second consecutive three-under 69 and is alone in second at minus-six.

 

Stadler began on the back nine Friday and broke into red figures with a birdie at the par-five 11th. He added birdies at the 14th and 17th holes to make the turn at three-under 33.

 

On the second nine, Stadler reached five-under par for the championship with a birdie at the second. He recorded birdies at the par-five sixth and the par- four eighth to move into the lead.

 

With his two victories, Stadler ranks seventh on the Nationwide Tour money list and is virtually assured a spot on the PGA Tour next year for finishing inside the top-20.

 

Bowden was cruising along with three birdies on his front nine. When he reached the par-four 10th, Bowden was in the same bunker as playing partner Steve LeBrun. After LeBrun hit his shot, Bowden's caddy raked the area where LeBrun hit which constituted a penalty as testing the area before he played the shot.

 

Two strokes was the penalty and Bowden fell all the way down to three-under par for the tournament. He tallied birdies at 12, 13 and 15 to move into second.

 

She is 11-under-par 133 through two rounds at Amata Spring Country Club, which is hosting the first-ever LPGA event in Thailand.

 

"I can play well and possibly not win," she said about Sunday. "Hopefully that doesn't happen, but hopefully I play well and see what happens. That is all I can really do."

 

Castrale, 27, turned professional in 2001 but hasn't played much on the LPGA Tour. She won back-to-back tournaments on the Futures Tour in 2005 and finished fourth on the money list to earn her exempt status for this year's LPGA season.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
