Delahoussaye leads by two in Canada

Golf Betting Lines

07/22/2010 - Etobicoke, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brent Delahoussaye fired an eight-under 62 Thursday to take the lead after the opening round of the Canadian Open.

Delahoussaye's 62 at St. George's Golf & Country Club matched the tournament's 18-hole scoring record. Leonard Thompson, Andy Bean and Greg Norman all shot 62 at Glen Abbey, while Hunter Mahan also carded a 62 at Angus Glen North.

"I am shocked. I mean I knew I was playing well, and I didn't even really know how many under I was at one point," Delahoussaye admitted. "I just kind of kept going and kept trying to make birdies. I am a little shocked that it's the tournament record and the course record."

Vance Veazey and Brock Mackenzie both shot six-under 64 and share second place. Hunter Mahan headlines a group of nine players tied for third at minus- five.

With a slightly different setup this week, players are starting on the first and ninth tees at St. George's.

Delahoussaye started his round on the ninth and reached the green in two with a three-iron and drained the eagle effort. Delahoussaye came right back with a short birdie putt on the 10th to quickly get to minus-three.

The 28-year-old birdied the 12th, but gave that stroke right back with a three-putt bogey on the 13th. After three straight pars, he birdied the 17th to head to the front nine at minus-four.

Delahoussaye got within one of the lead with a birdie on the second. He poured in three consecutive birdies from the fifth to jump into the lead.

"The key was hitting fairways. I figured the rough was going to be thick, after my practice round," Delahoussaye stated. "I just figured if I could keep it in the fairway I could still get it around the greens. I hit a lot of fairways today and the putter got hot. I made a bunch of putts, to be honest."

Delahoussaye hasn't had a lot of success this year on the PGA Tour, as he has made just three cuts in nine tries and his best finish was a share of 53rd at the Byron Nelson Championship. That stands as his best career PGA Tour finish.

"I've played bad all year, to be honest," Delahoussaye said. "I've been hitting it well, but I was just getting in my own way."

Veazey also started on the ninth and he got his round going right there with a birdie. He rolled in a 15-foot birdie effort on the 11th and followed with another birdie on the 12th.

The 45-year-old, who has won four Nationwide Tour events, parred the final six holes of his opening side.

Veazey sank an eight-foot birdie effort at the first and followed with a 15- footer at the second. He tripped to a bogey at the third, but erased that mistake with a 20-foot birdie effort at the sixth.

Veazey closed with a birdie on the eighth to get in at minus-six.

"The putter was the key ingredient to the score. You have to hit good shots into the greens because they have slope," Veazey said. "I had a lot of good looks today with the putter. So I think that's the key to playing well here is obviously putting it in the fairway, and then you have got to make putts."

Mackenzie was even-par through six holes with a pair of birdies and bogeys. He birdied the eighth and followed with an eagle on No. 9. Mackenzie birdied 10 and 11 to get to five-under. His final birdie was on the 16th.

Mahan was joined in fourth at five-under 65 by Rich Barcelo, Dean Wilson, Daniel Chopra, Charley Hoffman, Jimmy Walker, Spencer Levin, Steve Wheatcroft and Brian Stuard.

NOTES: Veazey's 64 matched his career-low round on the PGA Tour...Defending champion Nathan Green is tied for 37th after opening with a two-under 68...World No. 8 Paul Casey, the highest ranked player in the field, also carded a 68...Robert Garrigus and Brian Davis withdrew after their rounds.

Football Betting Sportsbook Accepts Credit Cards

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.

As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.

Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds

The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.

Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).

But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.

Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.

Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1

Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2

New York Giants - 9 - 2

Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).

Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.

So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.

And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.

They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.

Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.

But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.

Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.

Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.

Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.

Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?

Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.

In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.

Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.

Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.

The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.

The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
