Wasylowich leads Canadian Tour Championship

Golf Betting Lines

08/26/2010 - St. Catharines, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kris Wasylowich fired an eight-under 62 Thursday to take the first-round lead at the Canadian Tour Championship.

Ryan Yip was a stroke off the lead at seven-under 63, while six-time tour winner Mike Grob opened with a 64 and Adam Hadwin shot a 65.

Thirteen more players were within five strokes of the lead at St. Catharines Golf & Country Club, including tour money leader Aaron Goldberg, who shot a three-under 67.

Wasylowich, a 30-year-old from Alberta, is chasing his first career win at the most lucrative event in tour history.

He scorched the course for eight birdies Thursday, including five on his last nine holes. Of course, he made his first birdie on his opening hole -- No. 10 -- by rolling in a 15-foot putt to get things going.

"I knew once I made that putt it was going to be a good day," said Wasylowich -- who could use just that.

He is making just his fourth start of the season, and two of the previous three outings didn't turn out well. Wasylowich made the cut just once in those tournaments, tying for ninth place at the Dakota Dunes Casino Open last month.

The $6,750 check he earned for that finish has Wasylowich sitting at 72nd on the money list.

This week's winner will earn $52,000.

NOTES: The tournament purse is $325,000 total, the largest in Canadian Tour history...Defending champion James Love opened with a one-over 71 and was tied for 59th place.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
