Wie Acquires Loar Against Thursday

Golf Betting Lines

"It did give me a bit of comfort the last couple of holes when I had a three- shot lead," Harrington admitted. "I knew I could go left all the way home and be safe. After that good par on 14, I knew I had it."

 

After his double-bogey on 11, Dredge bogeyed 13 and 17 to fall to minus-10, but a birdie at the last put him at 11-under.

 

"I was surprisingly calm," Loar said when he tied for the lead. "I started holing a couple of putts and all of a sudden, boom I was right there. I had a couple iffy little shots coming in though."

 

Wall opened with three straight birdies and turned at minus-11 thanks to birdies on seven and nine. Wall birdied 11 and 12 to get within one of the lead, but he bogeyed the next two holes to slide back down the leaderboard. He birdied 16 then bogeyed 17 to end at minus-11.

 

Jenkins finished the tournament at 10-under-par 134 for a one-shot victory over Champions Tour money leader Loren Roberts and Chip Beck, playing in his third event on the elder circuit.

 

The win was Jenkins' seventh on the Champions Tour and his first this season. His last victory came at last year's Allianz Championship.

 

Rancho Cucamonga, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Na posted a two-under 69 on Sunday and won the Mark Christopher Charity Classic by three shots. Competing for the first time in more than five months, and playing on his home course, Na finished at 16-under-par 268 following his third round in the 60s this week.

 

His win almost inevitable since opening with a course-record-tying 62 on Thursday, Na finished one shot shy of tying the tournament record of 267 held by four players.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
