Golf Betting Lines

08/20/2010 - Sunriver, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.A. Weibring carded his second straight five- under 67 to take a two-stroke lead at the halfway point of the Tradition.

Weibring completed 36 holes of the season's fourth major at 10-under-par 134.

Tom Lehman, who shared the first-round lead with Weibring, posted a three- under 69 and is alone in second at minus-eight.

Bob Tway carded a five-under 67 to move into a share of third place at seven- under 137. He stands alongside Jay Don Blake (68), 2008 winner Fred Funk (69) and two-time champion Gil Morgan (69).

Weibring rolled in a birdie effort from just outside 15 feet on the first to get his round going. After four straight pars, he kicked in a short birdie putt on the sixth at the Crosswater Club at Sunriver Resort.

The five-time winner on the Champions Tour made it two in a row as he converted a 12-footer for birdie on the seventh to move to eight-under.

Weibring parred five consecutive holes from the eighth. At the par-three 13th, he rolled in a downhill 15-foot birdie try. Two holes later, he drained an 18- footer for birdie to climb to 10-under.

At the 17th, Weibring three-putted for bogey as his lead fell two strokes. However, he recovered that lost stroke at the last, where he converted a birdie putt from 20 feet out to finish two clear of Lehman.

"It was a bit cool this morning, but it warmed up nicely," Weibring said. "I got off to a good to start. I played some nice shots. I putted very well today and that was the key. I made two or three good par putts."

Lehman, the 2006 U.S. Ryder Cup captain, started his round with a birdie on the second. He gave that stroke back when he tripped to a bogey on the par- four eighth.

After five straight pars around the turn, Lehman rolled in back-to-back birdie efforts from the 14th to move to seven-under. On the par-three 17th, Lehman found sand off the tee, but holed out for birdie to end two back.

"Today was a really difficult day for me because I started out playing so well, but wasn't making any putts," Lehman explained. "I was hitting good putts and they were not going in. I was really starting to lose my patience."

Bernhard Langer (69) and Jay Haas (65) are tied for seventh place at six- under-par 138.

Langer is trying to join Gary Player as the only two men in Champions Tour history to win three straight major championships. Player did so in 1987-88 when he won the last two majors in '87 and the first one in '88.

NOTES: Weibring has won all three times he held the 36-hole lead, but all three of those events were 54-hole tournaments...Weibring hasn't won since the 2008 Senior Players Championship...Haas had the low round of the day with his seven-under 65...Defending champion Mike Reid carded a three-under 69 to get to plus-four through two rounds.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
