10/26/2007 - Mallorca, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robert-Jan Derksen and Jean-Francois Lucquin both fired rounds of five-under 65 Friday to move into a share of the lead during the second round of the Mallorca Classic.
Derksen and Lucquin share the top spot on the leaderboard at nine-under-par 131. Peter Lawrie (68) and Mads Vibe-Hastrup (66) are tied for third at minus- six.
Defending champion Niclas Fasth, who led after the first round, managed an even-par 70 in round two.
Fasth was joined in a share of fifth by Thongchai Jaidee, Sam Little, as well as Alastair Forsyth, who is through seven holes of his second round.
The second round was suspended due to darkness. The start of the round was delayed as the first round was completed earlier Friday after storms halted play on Thursday.
The second round is scheduled to resume Saturday at 8:45 a.m. local time with the third round to follow. Players will go off split tees in threesomes for round three.
Derksen played the back nine first and opened with back-to-back birdies from the 10th to move to minus-six. After dropping a shot on the 14th, Derksen birdie the 15th at Pula Golf Club.
The two-time European Tour winner tripped to another bogey at the 16th to slip to minus-five. Derksen parred three straight around the turn before catching fire.
Derksen ran home a birdie effort on the par-three second and came right back with a birdie on No. 3. He parred the next three before consecutive birdies from the seventh got him in at minus-nine.
"If the tour gave out awards for consistency it would be great, but unfortunately it doesn't work like that," said Derksen, who has missed just three cuts in 27 starts this year. "I've been very consistent all season and to top it off with a win would be great."
Lucquin, who owns just three top-10s all year, was steady throughout his round. He carded his first birdie on the second and came back with another birdie at the par-four fifth.
The Frenchman ran off eight straight pars from the par-five sixth. Lucquin moved to minus-seven with a birdie on the 14th.
Lucquin made it two straight as he also converted a birdie at 15. For the second straight round, he birdied the 18th and that gave him a share of the lead.
Carl Suneson fired a six-under 64 to move into a share of ninth at four-under- par 136. He was joined there by Barry Lane, Francesco Molinari and Marcel Siem, all three of whom shot 68 Friday. Also at minus-four are Graeme Storm, who is through nine holes, and Andrew McLardy, who completed five holes of round two.
Sergio Garcia, who hasn't finished outside the top two here in the last three years, is one of eight players tied for 15th at minus-three. Garcia has completed nine holes of his second round.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
