Golf Betting Lines

07/17/2010 - St. Andrews, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A wind delay Friday forced the completion of the second round of the British Open into Saturday morning.

Louis Oosthuizen remained atop the leaderboard as he finished his five-under 67 on Friday.

Oosthuizen completed two rounds at 12-under-par 132, which matched the low 36- hole score for an Open Championship at St. Andrews. Nick Faldo and Greg Norman both posted 132 in 1990.

Mark Calcavecchia, the 1989 Open champion at Royal Troon, also carded a 67 to move into second place at seven-under-par 137.

Englishmen Paul Casey (69) and Lee Westwood (71) share third place at minus- six. They were joined there by Alejandro Canizares (71) and amateur Jin Jeong (70). Jeong was the only amateur to make the cut.

Three-time Open champion Tiger Woods birdied the 18th hole Friday to finish off a one-over 73. He shares 14th place at four-under-par 140.

First-round leader Rory McIlory stumbled to an eight-over 80 to drop into a tie for 38th at one-under-par 143. McIlroy opened with a 63 on Thursday, matching the lowest score in major championship history.

World No. 2 Phil Mickelson shot a 71 that left him at even-par 144 and tied for 43rd.

Miguel Angel Jimenez (67), 1996 British Open champion Tom Lehman (68), Ricky Barnes (71), Peter Hanson (73), U.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell (68), Retief Goosen (70) and Sean O'Hair (72) share seventh place at five-under-par 139. O'Hair was the only player to shoot par after the wind delay.

Stephen Tiley, who was in the last group out off the first tee Friday, stood at minus-six through 10 holes when play was stopped Friday evening. He returned Saturday morning and dropped seven strokes over his final eight holes to tumble to plus-one.

Tom Watson, who nearly won his sixth Open Championship last year, closed with a birdie at the 18th Friday in the final group to complete their round. However, his three-over 75 left him two strokes over the cut line.

NOTES: The cut line fell at two-over-par 146 and 77 players moved on to the weekend...Zach Johnson and Rickie Fowler, who came back from a first-round 79 to shoot five-under 67 in the second round, made the cut on the number...Among those that missed the final two rounds were Justin Rose, Mike Weir, 2002 Open champion Ernie Els, Davis Love III, Angel Cabrera, 2003 winner Ben Curtis, 2004 champ Todd Hamilton, K.J. Choi, Jim Furyk, two-time champion Padraig Harrington, three-time winner and six-time major titlist Faldo and 2001 champion David Duval.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
