Golf Betting Lines

07/15/2010 - Maineville, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Peter Tomasulo continued his spectacular run of golf with a 10-under 62 on Thursday for the first-round lead of the inaugural Chiquita Classic.

Tomasulo won last week's Wayne Gretzky Classic after three straight birdies to end his final round gave him another 10-under par score. It was a 61 and it was vaulted him from 97th to ninth on the Nationwide Tour money list.

"It felt a lot like last Sunday," acknowledged Tomasulo. "I've never shot back-to-back rounds this low. I felt the momentum like this before. I just want to keep playing right now. I don't want to stop."

Tommy Gainey, who is fifth on the Nationwide Tour money list, shot an eight- under 64 and is second at the TPC River's Bend.

David McKenzie, Jesse Hutchins, Troy Kelly, Peter Gustafsson, Jason Gore and Justin Smith are knotted in third place at seven-under 65.

They are all chasing the hottest player on tour.

Tomasulo parred his first three holes, then caught fire. He birdied the next four in a row, but found trouble off the tee at the par-five eighth. Tomasulo hit a bad hybrid-club shot and ended up three-putting for bogey from close to 70 feet.

"I got a little excited and hit a bad tee shot on eight," admitted Tomasulo. "I calmed myself down and went on a good little run there."

Tomasulo birdied Nos. 9 and 10, then eagled the par-five 11th to get to seven- under par for the championship. He parred his next two and joined Gainey in first with a birdie at the par-four 14th.

Tomasulo birdied 16 and 17 to get to 10-under par. He had 12 feet for birdie at the par-five closing hole, but the putt stayed above ground.

"It feels great right now. I'm on a high," said Tomasulo. "I'm playing well, I'm seeing my lines really well. It gives me great momentum. I feel great over all my clubs and I want to keep trying to knock it close."

Brad Elder, Brice Garnett, Ron Whittaker, John Kimbell, Colt Knost and Chris Nallen are tied for ninth place at minus-six.

NOTES: Tomasulo's 62 was a new course record at TPC River's Bend...Of the 156 players in the field, 123 shot par or better in Thursday's first round...Chris Kirk, the leading money winner this year on the Nationwide Tour, shot a five- under 67 and is tied for 15th.
