Tour Card Birdie Highlight Salvage Down Places

Golf Betting Lines

"Sometimes you feel really good about a shot and I did with that. I hit the same shot earlier in the round on seven and it ended up really well," admitted Fasth. "So that was the same shot again, it felt great and I'm really proud of that one. To follow up with the birdie there, that felt really good."

 

Fasth didn't make it easy on himself down the stretch, but he closed with four straight pars to secure the win. He needed to get up and down for par on each of the last two holes and did just that.

 

Garcia never threatened the lead, but was able to take second thanks to three birdies and a bogey.

 

That move meant David Drysdale was the last man out as he finished 119th for the second straight year. He does have a chance to secure his tour card for next year through the Challenge Tour. If Drysdale cannot do it there, he will need to go through Qualifying School to try for his 2007 tour card.

 

Sergio Garcia moved into ninth position, bumping Geoff Ogilvy to 10th, and Padraig Harrington slipped into 11th, knocking Henrik Stenson to 12th.

 

David Toms remained 17th, Colin Montgomerie slipped two spaces to 18th, Jose Maria Olazabal moved up one spot into 19th and Chris DiMarco dipped two places to 20th.

 

Stellenbosch, South Africa (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Richard Scott fired a three- under 69 and Andrew Parr had a two-under 70 on Thursday, leading Canada to the first-round lead at the World Amateur Team Championship. This biennial event is conducted by the International Golf Federation, which comprises the national governing bodies of golf in more than 100 countries.

 

The five-under-par 139 total from Scott and Parr on Thursday left the Canadians two shots clear of the second-place Netherlands team. Teammate James Love's one-over 73 was excluded.

 

Wil Besseling joined Scott for the lowest round of the day, also firing a three-under 69 to lead the Netherlands team to its 141 total. Tim Sluiter had an even-par 72, while Joost Luiten's two-over 74 was dropped.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
