Golf Betting Lines

07/21/2010 - Village of Pinehurst, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stroke play medalist Danielle Kang squeezed past 17-year-old Colombian Alejandra Cangrejo, 1-up, in the first round of match play Wednesday at the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship.

Kang, of Thousand Oaks, California, had a par on the par-5 18th hole at The Country Club of North Carolina. Cangrejo hit her tee shot into a tree and scored a double-bogey on the hole. Kang was rewarded with a 7:30 a.m. (et) tee time for a second-round encounter against Kelli Oride on Thursday. Oride, of Lihue, Hawaii, fought off Colins Bradshaw by winning the 19th hole.

There were a few upsets as Haley Andreas defeated Jaye Marie Green, 2 & 1, while Doris Chen squeezed past Jisoo Keel by the same count.

Kristen Park, the 2007 U.S. Girls' Junior champion, eased past Alexandra Newell, 4 & 3.

Mariko Tumangan of San Jose, California, had a hole-in-one and eased past Marissa Dodd, 8 & 6.

"There's a lot less pressure," said Tumangan. "The first and second days are nerve-wracking - you need to play well in order to qualify. But match play is fun. It's a whole different game."

The second and third rounds of match play are set for Thursday. The quarterfinal and semifinal matches will be played Friday, and the 36-hole championship final is slated for Saturday.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
