Green leads by one at halfway stage in Austria

Golf Betting Lines

06/08/2007 - Vienna, Austria (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australian Richard Green posted a six-under 65 Friday to take a one-stroke lead after two rounds of the BA-CA Golf Open at Fontana Golf Club.

Green completed 36 holes at 11-under-par 131. Martin Erlandsson remained in second place as he shot a three-under 68 to get to minus-10.

Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez (65) is tied for third place at nine-under-par 133 with Swedes Steven Jeppesen (66) and Pelle Edberg (66).

Green got off to a flying start with three birdies over the first four holes. After a pair of pars, he gave a shot back with a bogey on the par-three seventh.

The 36-year-old Green rebounded with birdies on eight and nine to grab a piece of the lead at minus-nine. After pars on the next two holes, he birdied the 12th from eight feet out to move one clear of the field.

Green slipped back into a share of the lead with a bogey at 14. He bounced back with a birdie on 15 and closed with a two-putt birdie on the par-five 18th to end at 11-under.

"I decided to take Robert Karlsson's advice last year and came to Fontana for the first time, played well and fell in love with the place," Green said. "The course fits my game well, just as Robert predicted. I feel very comfortable, its almost like playing at home."

Green is looking to snap a 10-year winless drought as his last title came at the 1997 Dubai Desert Classic.

"I've got to lift that monkey off my back," admitted Green. "I won the Australian Masters in 2004, which was a great achievement, but I would really love to win on the European Tour again. It's been 10 years since Dubai and I will certainly keep trying."

Erlandsson stumbled out of the gate with a bogey on the 10th. He atoned for that mistake with birdies at 12 and 15. He dropped another stroke at 17 to make the turn at minus-seven.

The Swede, who missed seven straight cuts to open the season, caught fire around the turn. He birdied the first, then three straight birdies from the third gave him the lead at 11-under.

Erlandsson, however, tripped to back-to-back bogeys from the sixth to drop back to nine-under. He birdied the ninth, his last, to end one back.

Garry Houston matched the course record with his eight-under 63 Friday. He jumped into a share of sixth place at seven-under-par 135 with David Park, Jarmo Sandelin and Graeme Storm. France's Gregory Havret stands alongside Shaun P. Webster, Richard Finch and Tom Whitehouse in 10th at minus-six.

The cut line fell at even-par 142 with 68 players advancing to the weekend. Among those missing the cut were Darren Clarke and 2006 champion Markus Brier at 143, as well as Costantino Rocca (145) and Colin Montgomerie (147).

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview


“You play to win the game!”

Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.

The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.

The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.

Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?

Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.

New York Giants betting lines

Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.

Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.

Dallas Cowboys betting lines

Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.

The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.

Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.

Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.

Oakland Raiders betting lines

This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.

First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”

The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason. 

Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
