Bowditch, Thompson share lead in Nebraska
Golf Betting Lines
07/29/2010 - Omaha, NE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Steven Bowditch and Kyle Thompson fired rounds of eight-under 63 Thursday to share the lead after one round of the Cox Classic.
Bowditch claimed his lone tour win in his homeland of Australia at the 2005 Jacob's Creek Open, while Thompson won twice during the 2007 season.
Scott Gardiner, Kevin Chappell and Matt Marshall share third place at minus- seven.
Chris Kirk, who stands third on the Nationwide Tour money list, opened with a six-under 65 and is tied for sixth at Champions Run.
Bowditch parred his first five holes, then birdied the sixth. He gave that stroke right back with a bogey on the seventh. Bowditch caught fire from there.
The Australian birdied the eighth and ninth to turn in two-under. After a birdie on the 11th, Bowditch reeled off back-to-back birdies from the 13th to move to five-under.
Bowditch birdied the 16th and followed with birdies on 17 and 18 to be the first in the clubhouse at minus-eight and to match his career-low round on the Nationwide Tour.
"To be honest, I played the best I've played in the last four or five years last week, I just couldn't get the putts in," said Bowditch, who tied for 17th last week at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational. "It wasn't so much about making the putts, but I was missing the momentum putts as well."
Thompson started on the back nine Friday and opened with a birdie on the par- five 10th. He parred his next five holes before posting birdies on the 16th and 17th.
After four consecutive pars around the turn, Thompson poured in four straight birdie efforts from the fourth to move within one of Bowditch's lead. Thompson grabbed a share of the lead with a birdie on the par-four ninth, his last.
"I never thought this course was that easy and every year guys are shooting 59s and 60s and here I am shooting two- or three-under and feeling like I played okay," stated Bowditch, who missed the cut in five of his first six starts this year.
"It's just fun again. I've struggled on this course in the past, so to play like this today was a lot of fun."
Kirk was joined in sixth at minus-six by Brandt Jobe, Hunter Haas, Ewan Porter, Aaron Watkins, Berry Henson, Ray Beaufils and amateur Morgan Hoffmann, who tied for ninth last week.
NOTES: Bowditch last fired a 63 in the final round of the 2005 New Zealand PGA Championship...Last week's winner, D.J. Brigman, struggled to a one-over 72 that left him tied for 121st...Also at plus-one is leading money winner Jamie Lovemark.

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.
