Els among leaders at suspended PGA
Golf Betting Lines
08/12/2010 -
Kohler, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ernie Els is one of five co-leaders at four-
under par during Thursday's suspended first round of the PGA Championship at
Whistling Straits.
Els, Matt Kuchar and Nick Watney are in the middle of their first rounds,
while Bubba Watson and Italy's Francesco Molinari are in the clubhouse at
four-under-par 68.
Tiger Woods birdied his last hole on Thursday to shoot a one-under 71.
Woods, a four-time PGA Champion, failed to break par in any of his four rounds
last week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, a tournament he won seven
times, and posted his worst finish as a professional.
Thursday was certainly a different story in the last major of the season and
Woods is already close to the lead.
"That's the way it goes. I mean, everyone has bad weeks," said Woods. "Welcome
to golf. It is what it is. Guys shoot 59 and don't win. Fickle game."
Jason Day, the young Australian who won this year's Byron Nelson, Ryan Moore
and Charles Howell III each carded three-under 69s. Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano,
Darren Clarke and Simon Khan are three-under and will be back Friday morning
to finish the first round.
A three-hour, 10-minute fog delay at the start set the tournament back. The
morning wave of players finished round one, but the afternoon group will have
to return to the course Friday morning to complete it.
Phil Mickelson was in the afternoon wave of tee times and birdied his last two
holes before the horn sounded to stop play. The 2005 PGA Champion is one-under
through 11 holes.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
