Two Rounds Leaves Open Down Par

"Bogey-free round, so I am happy," Quinney exclaimed. "That was one of the easier 63s I've ever shot. After last week's playoff loss, that was a good way to rebound. I was relaxed and confident out there."

 

LaBelle also started on the second nine Thursday and he opened with consecutive birdies from the 10th. He carded birdies on 15 and 18 to make the turn in four-under.

 

"It was just a solid round all day. The key to my round is I played the holes that don't set up well for me smarter," LaBelle admitted. "My game has felt good most of the year. Anytime you've gone through 18 holes without a bogey, you know you've saved a few shots during the round."

 

Ken Duke, who won the Charity Pro-Am at The Cliffs, stands alongside Henrico County Open winner Matt Kuchar and five other players at minus-six.

 

"I never saw it. I didn't see the flag," admitted Woods, who won this title last year and in 2000, both at St. Andrews. "Just left of the TV towers was where I was aiming. I was trying to hold it on the wind. I hit it pretty good."

 

Woods stands at 12-under-par 132, which is two off the British Open 36-hole record set by Nick Faldo at Muirfield in 1992. He is three ahead of DiMarco, who fired his 65 before Woods got into the clubhouse.

 

Two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen eagled the 16th, bogeyed 17, but birdied the last to polish off a six-under 66. He is alone in third place at minus-eight.

 

Miguel Angel Jimenez (70) and Adam Scott (69) are knotted in fourth place at seven-under-par 137. Englishman Robert Rock carded his second consecutive, three-under 69 on Friday and is alone in sixth place at minus-six.

 

The No. 1 player in the world jump-started his round at the par-four eighth. He ran home a 60-foot birdie putt to reach seven-under par for the championship. Woods collected two birdies in a row from the 11th to get to minus-nine.

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview


“You play to win the game!”

Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.

The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.

The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.

Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?

Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.

New York Giants betting lines

Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.

Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.

Dallas Cowboys betting lines

Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.

The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.

Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.

Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.

Oakland Raiders betting lines

This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.

First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”

The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason. 

Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
