Golf Betting Lines

08/05/2010 - Wichita, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Davidson fired an eight-under 63 Thursday to take a one-stroke lead after one round of the Wichita Open.

Davidson has made just five starts this year with a tie for seventh his best finish. He has never won on the Nationwide Tour.

Scott Gutschewski, who is 19th on the Nationwide Tour money list, posted a seven-under 64 in round one. He was joined in second place by Steven Bowditch, Dan Buchner and Roberto Castro.

Davidson played the front nine on the North Course at Crestview Country Club first on Thursday. He posted birdies on the third and sixth. He made the turn at minus-four after back-to-back birdies from the eighth.

Around the turn, Davidson parred the first four holes before flying up the leaderboard.

Davidson started a birdie run at the par-five 14th. He came right back with a birdie on the 15th and made it three in a row as he birdied No. 16. After a par on 17, Davidson birdied the last to lead by one after the opening round.

"I'm not overly long off the tee and this course is not wide open, so any course that rewards accuracy over length is good for me," admitted Davidson, who will sleep on the lead for the first time in his tour career. "Obviously it was a good round. I drove the ball really well today."

Gutschewski, a two-time winner on the Nationwide Tour, was on 59 watch after nine holes, but quickly cooled off.

He started with birdies on 11 and 12. Gutschewski bogeyed the 13th, but responded with three consecutive birdies from the 14th to get to minus-four.

Gutschewski made eagle on the 18th to post a six-under 30 on his opening nine. On the front side, he moved to seven-under with a birdie at the second. However, Gutschewski parred his final seven holes to share second place.

"It was a good round. A good start," said Gutschewski, who is playing with a heavy heart after the death of his grandmother on Tuesday.

Bowditch and Castro both carded bogey-free rounds that included seven birdies. Castro had six birdies in his first 10 holes, but one over the last eight.

Buchner played the back nine first and birdied six of those nine holes and seven of his first 10 overall. After getting to minus-eight with a birdie on the seventh, Buchner bogeyed the ninth, his last, to share second.

Jhonattan Vegas is one of four players tied for sixth at minus-six. He was the 18-, 36- and 54-hole leader here last year before ending in a share of fourth place.

NOTES: Last week's winner Martin Piller, carded a four-under 67 and is tied for 21st...Tommy Gainey, who is No. 2 on the tour's money list is tied for 36th at minus-three, one stroke behind Nos. 3, 4 and 6 -- Piller, Chris Kirk and Bobby Gates...Kevin Chappell, who is fifth on the money list, is tied for 10th at five-under 66.
