Golf Betting Lines
08/03/2008 -
Berkshire, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ji-Yai Shin fired a six-under 66 on
Sunday to earn her first major championship at the Women's British Open at
Sunningdale Golf Club.
Shin, 20, plays primarily on the Korean LPGA Tour so this was not just her
first major title, but her first victory on the LPGA Tour. She finished at 18-
under 270 to win by three.
Yani Tseng also shot a six-under 66 on Sunday to take second at 15-under 273.
Overnight leader Yuri Fudoh traded the lead in the final round with several
players, but was ultimately done in by a bogey at the ninth. She only managed
a one-under 71 on Sunday and tied for third place with Eun-Hee Ji, who carded
a 67. The pair came in at 14-under 274.
Ai Miyazato also shared first on Sunday, but finished with a two-under 70. She
was fifth at minus-13, one shot better than former U.S. Women's Open champion
Cristie Kerr, who also posted a 70 on Sunday.
Last year's winner Lorena Ochoa inched close to the lead, but never truly
threatened. She ended up with a three-under 69 and shared seventh with Momoko
Ueda, who also had a 69, at 11-under 277.
Annika Sorenstam, the 2003 winner, played in what is expected to be her final
major championship. The Swede, who stated she was walking away from
competitive golf at the end of the year, polished off her major career with a
birdie at her last hole for a four-under 68 and a share of 24th place at
minus-six.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
