Price fires 63 to lead Boeing Classic

Golf Betting Lines

08/27/2010 - Snoqualmie, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nick Price had two scoring bursts Friday en route to a nine-under 63 and the first-round lead of the Boeing Classic.

Price, who has already won twice this season, posted his low round of the year.

Tom Pernice, Jr. is one stroke back at minus-eight and is alone in second place. Champions Tour leading money winner Bernhard Langer, who turned 53 on Friday, and Hal Sutton share third place at six-under 66.

Mark Wiebe and Gil Morgan are tied for fifth at minus-five.

Defending champion Loren Roberts and local favorite Fred Couples are among six players that share seventh at four-under 68.

Price's first scoring burst started on No. 1 at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. He birdied each of the first four holes to jump up the leaderboard.

After stumbling to a bogey on the fifth, Price came right back with a birdie on the sixth. He cruised around the turn with five straight pars.

Price started his next birdie run at the 12th. He followed with another birdie on 13 to get to six-under. Price then drained three straight birdies from the 15th to move past Pernice for the lead.

Pernice started his round on the back nine and carded his first birdie on the 12th. He eagled the 15th and turned in minus-four thanks to a birdie at the 18th.

The 50-year-old made another eagle on the first, then parred his next four holes. Pernice birdied the sixth and eighth to finish at minus-eight.

Roberts and Couples were joined at minus-four by Tommy Armour III, Jeff Sluman, Russ Cochran and Bruce Fleisher.

Fred Funk, who won the Tradition last week, is one stroke further back at minus-three.

NOTES: Couples is looking for a win in his hometown, and he if manages to earn the victory on Sunday, he would be the first Champions Tour player to win his hometown since Bruce Lietzke won the 2002 TD Waterhouse Championship in Kansas City...Tom Kite, the only two-time winner of this event, stumbled to a five- over 77, which left him tied for 73rd...In the five-year history of the Boeing Classic, no first-round leaders/co-leaders have gone on to win...Andy Bean withdrew after eight holes.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
