Golf Betting Lines

07/21/2010 - Village of Pinehurst, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stroke play medalist Danielle Kang squeezed past 17-year-old Colombian Alejandra Cangrejo, 1-up, in the first round of match play Wednesday at the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship.

Kang, of Thousand Oaks, California, had a par on the par-5 18th hole at The Country Club of North Carolina. Cangrejo hit her tee shot into a tree and scored a double-bogey on the hole. Kang was rewarded with a 7:30 a.m. (et) tee time for a second-round encounter against Kelli Oride on Thursday. Oride, of Lihue, Hawaii, fought off Colins Bradshaw by winning the 19th hole.

There were a few upsets as Haley Andreas defeated Jaye Marie Green, 2 & 1, while Doris Chen squeezed past Jisoo Keel by the same count.

Kristen Park, the 2007 U.S. Girls' Junior champion, eased past Alexandra Newell, 4 & 3.

Mariko Tumangan of San Jose, California, had a hole-in-one and eased past Marissa Dodd, 8 & 6.

"There's a lot less pressure," said Tumangan. "The first and second days are nerve-wracking - you need to play well in order to qualify. But match play is fun. It's a whole different game."

The second and third rounds of match play are set for Thursday. The quarterfinal and semifinal matches will be played Friday, and the 36-hole championship final is slated for Saturday.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
