Golf Betting Lines

07/26/2007 - Lakewood, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kimberly Kim and Mina Harigae each won a pair of matches Wednesday to advance at the U.S. Girls' Junior.

Kim, the reigning U.S. Women's Amateur champion, topped Amy Ruengmateekhun, 4 & 3 in the first round of match play and then topped Tessa Teachman, 5 & 3 in the second round. In that second match, Kim won four straight holes to wipe out a three-hole deficit and then won two consecutive holes, nine and 10, to take a big lead.

Harigae, who won this year's U.S. Women's Amateur PubLinks, breezed past Jaclyn Jansen, 6 & 4 and then beat Jennifer Song, 4 & 3 in round two.

Attempting to become just the sixth golfer to win two USGA championships in the same year, Harigae didn't trail in her match with Jansen and then finished off Song, the low amateur at this year's U.S. Women's Open.

Alexis Thompson, who at the age of 12 was the youngest player to ever compete in the U.S. Women's Open, beat Brittany Henderson, 5 & 4 in the first round, but then fell to Stephanie Kono, 3 & 2 in the second round.

Mary Michael Maggio, Maria Uribe, Kristen Park, Stacey Kim, Haley Sanders, Tessa The, Sarah Brown, Demi Frances Runas, Mitsuki Katahira, Michelle Shin, Ayaka Kaneko, Tiffany Lua and Sue Kim also advanced to the third round.

The third and quarterfinal rounds will be Thursday. The semifinal matches are slated for Friday and the 36-hole championship is Saturday.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
