Birdie Putt Feet Recall Claim Over Canyons

Golf Betting Lines

Ochoa, who last week won in her native Mexico, started nicely with two birdies in her first three holes, including a seven-footer at the third. She did not record another birdie on the front nine and made the turn at two-under-par 34.

 

At the par-three 13th, Ochoa hit a five-iron to six feet to set up another birdie. After a long delay on the 14th tee box, Ochoa found the fairway, knocked her second to four feet and rolled in her third consecutive birdie putt. She was six-under par, but that was short-lived as she bogeyed the par- five 15th.

 

She parred out to stay in a tie for the lead.

 

The Swede broke into red figures with a three-foot birdie putt at the seventh. At the par-three eighth, Sorenstam drained a birdie putt from a similar length as the hole before and made the turn at minus-two.

 

The other contenders for Player of the Year are under par as well. Karrie Webb, second on the money list, and Cristie Kerr joined LPGA Champion Se Ri Pak in a tie for seventh at one-under-par 71.

 

Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.A. Points fired an eight-under 64 on Friday at the TPC at Summerlin Course to cruise into the lead during the second round of the Frys.com Open. He stands at 14-under-par 129 and is two ahead of the field. The second round was suspended due to darkness after a rain delay during the round knocked the schedule back. The players will return at 10:16 a.m. (et) Saturday to complete the second round with the third round scheduled to begin 90 minutes later.

 

The par-72 Summerlin Course and the par-71 TPC at Canyons were used for the first two rounds before the TPC at Summerlin takes over on the weekend.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
