Pavin Helps Woods At No.

Golf Betting Lines

From there, both players made pars despite having decent looks at birdie putts. Pavin holed a seven-foot par putt at the 10th that he did not think was going in, but maintained his four-stroke advantage.

 

At the par-five 15th, Pavin could only make a par, but Kelly, who ripped a drive almost through the fairway, reached the green in two. His 35-foot eagle putt did not fall, but he tapped in for birdie and found himself two behind with three to play.

 

Neither player could make birdie, but that was fine for Pavin as he walked off with the win.

 

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - With her third victory of the season Saturday at the Evian Masters, Karrie Webb bumped Lorena Ochoa from the top of the LPGA Tour money list and also snatched her No. 3 position in the Rolex Women's World Rankings. Webb, now a 33-time winner on the LPGA Tour, also won the first major of the year, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, and the Michelob Ultra Open. Sunday, she beat 16-year-old Michelle Wie and two-time Evian Masters champion Laura Davies by one shot.

 

After Wie, Webb and Ochoa, Paula Creamer remained fifth and was again followed by Cristie Kerr, Juli Inkster, Yuri Fudoh and Jeong Jang, who will defend her Women's British Open title this week.

 

Tied with Quigley overnight at 13-under, Woods, the 2002 champion, bogeyed the par-five 16th Saturday morning to slide back.

 

Quigley carded a six-under 66 on Friday to get to 13-under-par 131. He was one of the few players with afternoon tee times to complete his second round Friday.

 

Two-time defending champion Vijay Singh -- the only three-time winner ever at this event -- went one-under on five holes Saturday morning and leads a group of four players who are tied for third place.

 

Jim Furyk leads a group of seven players who share seventh place at minus-10.

 

When play was completed Saturday, the cut line fell at three-under. Among those who will miss the weekend are Chris DiMarco, who finished second to Woods at Royal Liverpool, and David Toms.

 

Inkster, who led after each of the first two rounds, took a step back in her quest for the Super Career Grand Slam, stumbling to two double-bogeys and two bogeys on the way to a 74.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
