Champions Tour Into Lead Thursday

Golf Betting Lines

"It did give me a bit of comfort the last couple of holes when I had a three- shot lead," Harrington admitted. "I knew I could go left all the way home and be safe. After that good par on 14, I knew I had it."

 

With a chance to win the Order of Merit for the first time, he said "it looks like I'll be there" at the Mallorca Classic in two weeks.

 

Loar flew up the leaderboard with five birdies in a six-hole stretch from the fifth to grab a share of the lead with Dredge and Harrington at 14-under. However, Loar bogeyed the 11th and stumbled to two more bogeys down the stretch to end in a share of second.

 

Peter Hanson was joined by Casey in sixth place at 10-under-par 278. Henrik Stenson, Lee Westwood, Paul Broadhurst, Simon Dyson, Johan Edfors, James Kingston and Soren Kjeldsen shared 10th at minus-nine.

 

Jenkins finished the tournament at 10-under-par 134 for a one-shot victory over Champions Tour money leader Loren Roberts and Chip Beck, playing in his third event on the elder circuit.

 

The win was Jenkins' seventh on the Champions Tour and his first this season. His last victory came at last year's Allianz Championship.

 

Rancho Cucamonga, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Na posted a two-under 69 on Sunday and won the Mark Christopher Charity Classic by three shots. Competing for the first time in more than five months, and playing on his home course, Na finished at 16-under-par 268 following his third round in the 60s this week.

 

His win almost inevitable since opening with a course-record-tying 62 on Thursday, Na finished one shot shy of tying the tournament record of 267 held by four players.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
