Green downs Remesy in playoff to win at Fontana

Golf Betting Lines

06/10/2007 - Vienna, Austria (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Richard Green bogeyed the final hole of the BA-CA Golf Open on Sunday to slip back to 16-under-par 268 and create a playoff with Jean-Francois Remesy, which he won.

Green closed with a one-under 70 Sunday, while Remesy fired a seven-under 64 to force the extra session. Remesy never had a piece of the lead until Green's bogey at the last.

In the playoff, the two returned to the par-five 18th at Fontana Golf Club where Green walked off with his first win since the 1997 Dubai Desert Classic.

"I've had that self-doubt in me for quite a long time," Green stated. "I've got myself into position and played three rounds great, but not four, so to get across the line is a huge relief. I was probably as nervous as I've ever been on the 18th green and I think that showed with the three putts. I was fortunate that I got into a playoff and still had a chance."

Chris Gane closed with a six-under 65 to end in a tie for third at 15-under- par 269. He was joined there by Michael Jonzon (66) and Miguel Angel Jimenez (67). Stephen Gallacher took sixth at minus-14 thanks to a closing 65.

Green was in trouble early. He found the rough off the tee at the par-four third, then three-putted his way to a double-bogey. That dropped him to 13- under, one clear of the field.

Jimenez responded with a hole-out eagle at the fifth to jump into the lead at 14-under.

Green atoned for his mistake with back-to-back birdies from the fifth. Shortly thereafter, the horns blew and everyone was taken off the course with lightning in the area. The weather delay lasted over two hours, even though it never rained at Fontana.

After the delay, Jimenez bogeyed the eighth, but birdied the par-five ninth. Green also birdied No. 9 to take a two-stroke lead to the back nine.

The Australian parred three in a row before a birdie on the 14th. As Green parred his next four holes, Remesy moved within one of the lead.

Remesy collected three birdies and a bogey on the front nine to make the turn at 11-under.

The Frenchman ran off five birdies in a six-hole span from the 11th to jump to 16-under. Remesy was within one of the lead, but could only par the final two holes to finish there.

"I was struggling towards the end because it's been a long time not being in that position," admitted Remesy, who missed 10 of 13 cuts before this event. "I did my best so I am pretty happy about what I've achieved after the last few months."

Green stumbled to a three-putt bogey from 12 feet on the par-five closing hole to force the playoff.

Graeme Storm and Steven Jeppesen shared seventh place at 13-under-par 271. Richard McEvoy, who entered the round three shots behind Green, struggled to a one-over 72. He was joined in ninth at minus-11 by Martin Erlandsson, David Higgins, Graeme McDowell and Tom Whitehouse.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
