Christine Song two clear at LPGA Q School

Golf Betting Lines

12/01/2011 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Christine Song managed a two-under 70 on Thursday to grab a two-stroke lead after two rounds of the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament.

Song's 70 matched the low round of the day as scores went soaring in windy conditions. She finished 36 holes at eight-under-par 136.

Amateur Stephanie Kono is still alone in second place as she posted a one- under 71 in round two. Kono, a senior at UCLA, finished two rounds at minus- six.

Those two have taken control of the tournament as the three players tied for third place are four shots behind Kono.

Jennie Lee (71), Jacqui Concolino (72) and Rebecca Durham (71) share third place two-under-par 142. Six more players are tied at minus-one as just 11 players finished two rounds in red figures.

LPGA Q School is played over five rounds and two courses. For the first four rounds, golf rotates over the Champions Course and Legends Course at LPGA International.

There will be a cut after 72 holes for the low 70 and ties. The final round will take place at the Champions Course, then it gets really interesting.

The low 40 and ties receive LPGA Tour membership for 2012. For the remaining players who make the cut, they will earn some type of status on the Futures Tour.

Song started her round on the first tee at the Legends Course. She birdied the second and fifth, before stumbling to her only bogey of the day at the sixth.

After six straight pars around the turn, Song converted a birdie try at the 13th. She parred the last five to finish two clear of Kono.

"The wind was tough today and when it was blowing, it was really blowing," Song said.

Kono, who was three groups after Song off the first tee, opened with four pars in a row. She converted a birdie chance at the fifth, but bogeyed the next two holes.

She erased those mistakes by pouring in three straight birdies from the eighth. Kono fell back to even-par for her round with bogeys at 12 and 17. However, she birdied the last to shoot 71.

"The wind picked up on the back nine, where it was definitely a two-club wind at times," Kono stated. "This is not an easy course and with the wind, it's a beast. Even-par is a really good score here."

NOTES: With the breezy conditions Thursday, there was four players that shot two-under 70, while 22 players shot 80 or worse...Whitney Neuhauser struggled to an 82 and tumbled from a share of fifth into a tie for 83rd for one of the biggest drops on the leaderboard...Birdie Kim, the 2005 U.S. Women's Open champion, tripped to a seven-over 79 and slid into a tie for 83rd at plus- seven...Reigning U.S. Women's Amateur champion Danielle Kang stumbled to a 78 to fall from a tie for 25th into share of 64th.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
