Saturday Morning Adds Woods With Kelly

Golf Betting Lines

Kelly came back at the par-three 11th when his tee ball ran to three feet. He converted the birdie try to close the gap to three. With Pavin consistently making pars, Kelly had to take advantage of his best birdie opportunities.

 

At the par-five 15th, Pavin could only make a par, but Kelly, who ripped a drive almost through the fairway, reached the green in two. His 35-foot eagle putt did not fall, but he tapped in for birdie and found himself two behind with three to play.

 

Neither player could make birdie, but that was fine for Pavin as he walked off with the win.

 

Annika Sorenstam tied for eighth place Saturday, but remained No. 1 overall again.

 

Mi Hyun Kim moved into 10th position, bumping Ai Miyazato to 11th. After that, Se Ri Pak, Hee-Won Han, Pat Hurst, Shiho Ohyama, Morgan Pressel, Natalie Gulbis, Seon-Hwa Lee, Brittany Lang and Sakura Yokomine rounded out the to 20.

 

Grand Blanc, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiger Woods bogeyed his first hole after the re-start Saturday morning and fell one shot behind leader Brett Quigley at the Buick Open. Two weeks after winning the British Open, Woods stands at 12-under-par 132 through two rounds at Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club.

 

Quigley carded a six-under 66 on Friday to get to 13-under-par 131. He was one of the few players with afternoon tee times to complete his second round Friday.

 

Players who didn't complete their second rounds Friday returned to the course at 8 a.m. (et) Saturday. The third round began at 11:13 a.m. with threesomes teeing off on No. 1 and No. 10.

 

Jim Furyk leads a group of seven players who share seventh place at minus-10.

Big 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.


Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
