Oosthuizen four ahead at the turn

Golf Betting Lines

07/18/2010 - St. Andrews, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - South African Louis Oosthuizen rolled in an eagle putt on the ninth hole Sunday to take a four-stroke lead to the back nine in the final round of the British Open Championship.

Oosthuizen, who is in contention for the first time in a major championship, has played a steady round so far in the final pairing with Paul Casey.

The 27-year-old Oosthuizen parred his first seven holes to maintain his lead. However, he stumbled to a bogey on the eighth to slip to 14-under.

Oosthuizen atoned for that mistake by pouring in an eagle effort on the ninth to get to minus-16. His lead could have dipped to two, but instead was four.

Casey came up short of the second green and was unable to save par from there. The Englishman was suddenly five back.

After three straight pars, Casey got that stroke back with a two-putt birdie on No. 6. He parred seven and eight, and was within three after Oosthuizen's bogey at the eighth.

Casey two-putted for birdie on No. 9, but lost a stroke to the leader and made the turn at 12-under par.

Not only was Casey not making a move on Oosthuizen, but the final six players combined for six birdies and an eagle on the front nine.

With three-quarters of the field finished, only seven players posted rounds in the 60s, with Rickie Fowler and Alvaro Quiros both carding 67s for the low round of the day.

Football Betting Lines

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
