Round Joins Tiebreaker Down Under-par

Golf Betting Lines

That tied the two countries at 10-under-par 566.

 

This marked the second instance when the tiebreaker system was used. In 2002, Australia beat Thailand using the first criteria.

 

Colombia moved up eight places on Saturday with an eight-under 136, the lowest final-round team total in championship history. They finished third at nine- under-par 567.

 

The United States of America only managed a two-over 146 in the final round and came in ninth at two-under-par 574.

 

"This is my sixth win on the LPGA Tour, but I have never won by this much," Han admitted. "When I got to the 15th hole, actually after the ninth hole, I played pretty comfortable. I thought I played pretty good today and I'm very happy about the win."

 

The trio ended one shot behind D'Alessio, who had a two-under 70 to take solo second place at nine-under-par 207. D'Alessio got off to a poor start, but had three birdies on her back nine.

 

Sunday, she posted her first birdie at the second hole, then four straight from the fourth. Han three-putted for bogey on the ninth and made the turn at 13-under.

 

Her birdie at the 17th, from 10 feet out, was her second this week at the 145- yard par-three, Asia's only true island green.

 

"I kept trying to make birdies on the back nine," said Han. "I got bogeys on 16 and 18, but I played pretty comfortable when I knew I was up by five or six shots."

 

World No. 4 Cristie Kerr, the highest-ranked player in the field, shot a two- under 70 and shared sixth place with Carin Koch (68), Brittany Lang (70) and Christina Kim (73) at seven-under 209.

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview


“You play to win the game!”

Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.

The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.

The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.

Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?

Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.

New York Giants betting lines

Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.

Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.

Dallas Cowboys betting lines

Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.

The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.

Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.

Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.

Oakland Raiders betting lines

This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.

First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”

The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason. 

Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
