Golf Betting Lines

07/03/2009 - Edmonton, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brady Stockton posted a three-under 69 Friday to remain a co-leader after two rounds of the Edmonton Open.

Stockton, who shared the first-round lead with Robert Gates, completed 36 holes at 10-under-par 134. He was joined in the lead by Graham DeLaet and Jim Rutledge, who both shot 67 for the second straight day.

Hugo Leon also carded a five-under 67 and is alone in fourth at minus-eight. Gates tumbled into a tie for 25th at minus-four after stumbling to a three- over 75 on Friday.

Stockton birdied the first, but gave that stroke back with a bogey on the third. He rebounded with a birdie on the par-three fourth.

After birdies on eight and nine, Stockton faltered to a double-bogey on the par-four 11th. He recovered those lost strokes with birdies on 14 and 15. Stockton bogeyed the par-five 17th at Glendale Golf and Country Club, but birdied the last to share the second-round lead.

DeLaet ran off three birdies in a four-hole stretch from the 12th before tripping to a bogey on the 17th. Around the turn, he poured in three straight birdies from the first to jump to 10-under. He parred his final six holes to end there.

Rutledge, who played alongside DeLaet, birdied the 11th and 12th, but dropped a shot on 13. He birdied the 17th and around the turn moved to minus-eight with a birdie on the first.

He bogeyed the fourth, then birdied five and six. After a bogey on eight, Rutledge eagled the par-five ninth, his last, to finish at minus-10.

Barrett Jarosch (67), Yohann Benson (67), George Coetzee (70), Garrett Sapp (70) and Liam Kendregan (71) share fifth place at seven-under-par 137.

The cut line fell at one-under-par 143 with 70 players moving on to the weekend. Defending champion John Ellis made the cut on the number.

Big 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
