Golf Betting Lines

Quinney, who was in the first group off in the morning, turned in five-under thanks to a birdie on the 17th. Around the turn, he birdied two of his first three holes. The 27-year-old drained back-to-back birdies from the par-four seventh to grab his piece of the lead.

 

The 31-year-old, who was in the first group off in the afternoon, also birdied the first and second to make it three in a row. After a par on the third, LaBelle ran home a 60-foot birdie putt on the fourth.

 

"It was just a solid round all day. The key to my round is I played the holes that don't set up well for me smarter," LaBelle admitted. "My game has felt good most of the year. Anytime you've gone through 18 holes without a bogey, you know you've saved a few shots during the round."

 

Ricky Barnes, the 2002 U.S. Amateur champion, posted a seven-under-par 65 on Thursday, He shares seventh place with Boo Weekley, Jeremy Anderson, Josh Broadaway, Cliff Kresge and Knoxville Open winner Hunter Haas.

 

Hoylake, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiger Woods holed out for an eagle from 205 yards out at the 14th hole Friday en route to a seven-under-par 65 and a three-shot lead during the second round of the British Open Championship at Royal Liverpool. Woods was tied for the lead with Chris DiMarco at nine-under par when he pulled a four-iron for his approach at 14. The ball landed, took a few hops then rolled into the hole for an eagle.

 

This was Woods' second important eagle in as many days at Royal Liverpool. On Thursday, he drained a 35-footer at the closing hole to get within one of the overnight lead.

 

The 65s posted by DiMarco and Woods represent a new course record at Royal Liverpool, which has not hosted a British Open Championship since 1967.

 

Miguel Angel Jimenez (70) and Adam Scott (69) are knotted in fourth place at seven-under-par 137. Englishman Robert Rock carded his second consecutive, three-under 69 on Friday and is alone in sixth place at minus-six.

 

At the 456-yard, par-four 14th, Woods found the fairway off the tee. His four- iron approach landed 15 feet short of the hole, hopped a few times, then rolled the last three feet into the jar for an eagle.

 

Woods, who missed his first cut in a major as a professional last month at the U.S. Open at Winged Foot, nearly holed a 40-foot birdie putt at 17, but made a small mess of the closing hole. At the par-five 18th, Woods pulled his drive left and was forced to lay up in the fairway. He hit an eight-iron 20 feet right of the hole, but missed the birdie putt.

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.
