Chappell sets 36-hole mark on Nationwide Tour

Golf Betting Lines

07/09/2010 - Clarksburg, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Chappell shot an eight-under 63 to remain in the lead Friday at the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic, setting the Nationwide Tour's 36-hole scoring record in the process.

Chappell finished two rounds at 19-under 124, breaking the old record of 125 by a shot. His 19-under total also matched the tour record for most strokes under par after two rounds.

"I've played some good golf this year and I knew it was coming," said Chappell.

Keegan Bradley was on a 59 watch after playing his first 15 holes at 10-under, but he finished with three consecutive pars to shoot a 61 and break the course record at the Georgian Bay Club by one stroke.

Bradley moved to 16-under 127, three strokes behind Chappell, who also played the Georgian Bay course on Friday.

David Branshaw had an eight-under 64 at Raven Golf Club to move into third place at 13-under 130, while 2008 champion Justin Hicks (68) led three players tied at 11-under 132.

Both courses were used for the 36-hole pro-am on Thursday and Friday, but only the Georgian Bay Club will be used for the final two rounds.

That's unfortunate for Chappell. As well as he played at Georgian Bay on Friday -- he had eight birdies and 10 pars -- Chappell was even better during his first round on the Raven course.

He opened with a 61 there on Thursday, tying the course record on his 24th birthday.

How good has he been so far? Chappell has made more birdies (19) than pars (17) and is already just one stroke behind last year's winning score.

"For me the goal was to not make a bogey. That's always my Achilles' heel," he said. "I always make plenty of birdies and I knew if I could keep the blemishes off the card, things would take care of themselves."

Chappell broke the old 36-hole scoring record shared by Jason Gore and Webb Simpson. He is trying to become the first two-time winner on tour this season, having already captured the Fresh Express Classic in April.

"The lower you get, the harder it is to keep shooting lower because you've got to hit it closer to the hole," he said. "It's strictly the odds -- the further you are away from the hole the less you have a chance of making it."

Bradley has also played his first two rounds without a bogey as he chases his first career victory.

"It's definitely one of the best rounds I've ever had," said Bradley, who also carded a 61 in this year's BMW Charity Pro-Am. "The putter got extremely hot. From about number seven to 15 the hole looked as big as a trash can."

NOTES: The cut fell at six-under 137...137 matched the lowest score for a cut in tour history...Bobby Gates (67) and James Hahn (69) shared fourth place with Hicks...Chappell also set the 36-hole tournament scoring record...The previous mark of 130 was held by 2009 champion Roger Tambellini...Bradley bested the 62 shot by Garrett Osborn at Georgian Bay in 2008.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
