Golf Betting Lines

12/03/2011 - LaQuinta, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Will Claxton shot a two-under 70 on Saturday to keep his two-stroke lead after four rounds of PGA Tour Q School.

Claxton started the tournament with a 64 and has held at least a piece of the lead since. He ended 72 holes at 15-under-par 273.

Marco Dawson, in his 11th appearance at Q School, fired a five-under 67 to climb into second place at 13-under 275. He has earned his card five times via this event, the last time in 2006.

Seung-yul Noh (72) and Harris English (70) are tied for third at minus-11. Noh was challenging for the lead, but bogeyed 17 and quadruple-bogeyed 18 to drop five strokes. English won this year on the Nationwide Tour as an amateur, but has never appeared in a PGA Tour event.

Bobby Gates, who finished 126th on the PGA Tour money list in 2011, ended 72 holes at 10-under 278 after tripping to a 73 on Saturday.

Brett Wetterich, who won the Byron Nelson Championship in 2006, and 2002 PGA Champion Rich Beem both were in position to regain their tour cards entering the fourth round.

Wetterich faltered to a 13-over 85 and tumbled from a tie for ninth into a share of 125th. Beem struggled to an eight-over 80 and slid from a share of 33rd into a tie for 102nd. Wetterich is plus-five, while Beem is plus-three.

With two rounds to go, five-under par is the number players need to be at to be inside the top 25, which will give them their PGA Tour card for 2012.

The next number of finishers nearest 50 after the Qualifying Tournament will earn fully exempt Nationwide Tour cards for 2012 and the remainder of the field will receive conditional Nationwide Tour status.

The field has now played two rounds apiece on the Nicklaus Tournament Course and TPC Stadium Course at PGA West. Everyone will play both courses one more time. The leaders will play the Stadium Course in round five and the Nicklaus Tournament Course in round six on Monday.

Claxton had a steady round. He opened with a birdie on the second and moved to 15-under with a birdie on the par-five seventh on the Nicklaus Tournament Course.

Claxton tripped to a bogey on the ninth, but atoned for that error with a birdie on the par-three 12th. Claxton parred out to end at minus-15.

Dawson had a bogey-free round with three birdies in a four-hole span from the fourth. Around the turn, he also birdied 11 and 14 to move within two of Claxton.

NOTES: Claxton has one previous PGA Tour start at the 2011 Transitions Championship, where he tied for 67th...Dawson and Ryan Yip shared low round of the day honors with their 67s...Andre Stolz and Matt McQuillan withdrew after the third round, while Nate Smith and Cliff Kresge withdrew during the fourth round.

NFL Football Sports Betting

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.

New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.

His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.

HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.

The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.

RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.

First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.

The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.

These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.

New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
