Chappell sets 36-hole mark on Nationwide Tour

Golf Betting Lines

07/09/2010 - Clarksburg, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Chappell shot an eight-under 63 to remain in the lead Friday at the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic, setting the Nationwide Tour's 36-hole scoring record in the process.

Chappell finished two rounds at 19-under 124, breaking the old record of 125 by a shot. His 19-under total also matched the tour record for most strokes under par after two rounds.

"I've played some good golf this year and I knew it was coming," said Chappell.

Keegan Bradley was on a 59 watch after playing his first 15 holes at 10-under, but he finished with three consecutive pars to shoot a 61 and break the course record at the Georgian Bay Club by one stroke.

Bradley moved to 16-under 127, three strokes behind Chappell, who also played the Georgian Bay course on Friday.

David Branshaw had an eight-under 64 at Raven Golf Club to move into third place at 13-under 130, while 2008 champion Justin Hicks (68) led three players tied at 11-under 132.

Both courses were used for the 36-hole pro-am on Thursday and Friday, but only the Georgian Bay Club will be used for the final two rounds.

That's unfortunate for Chappell. As well as he played at Georgian Bay on Friday -- he had eight birdies and 10 pars -- Chappell was even better during his first round on the Raven course.

He opened with a 61 there on Thursday, tying the course record on his 24th birthday.

How good has he been so far? Chappell has made more birdies (19) than pars (17) and is already just one stroke behind last year's winning score.

"For me the goal was to not make a bogey. That's always my Achilles' heel," he said. "I always make plenty of birdies and I knew if I could keep the blemishes off the card, things would take care of themselves."

Chappell broke the old 36-hole scoring record shared by Jason Gore and Webb Simpson. He is trying to become the first two-time winner on tour this season, having already captured the Fresh Express Classic in April.

"The lower you get, the harder it is to keep shooting lower because you've got to hit it closer to the hole," he said. "It's strictly the odds -- the further you are away from the hole the less you have a chance of making it."

Bradley has also played his first two rounds without a bogey as he chases his first career victory.

"It's definitely one of the best rounds I've ever had," said Bradley, who also carded a 61 in this year's BMW Charity Pro-Am. "The putter got extremely hot. From about number seven to 15 the hole looked as big as a trash can."

NOTES: The cut fell at six-under 137...137 matched the lowest score for a cut in tour history...Bobby Gates (67) and James Hahn (69) shared fourth place with Hicks...Chappell also set the 36-hole tournament scoring record...The previous mark of 130 was held by 2009 champion Roger Tambellini...Bradley bested the 62 shot by Garrett Osborn at Georgian Bay in 2008.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6  

The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.

Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com.  "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.

It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis.  It's like Week 1 of the NFL.  Pre-season means nada!

We do know the 24 finalists however.

Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24.  He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway.  He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. 

Brandon Rogers - Who?

Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition.  He should go a good distance.

Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was.  And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition.  He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice!  People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. 

"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks.  He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes.  But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.

A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”

Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. 

"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate.  "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past.  He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far.  Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."

Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) 

And the others:

Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter

The girls

"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis.  "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has.  The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive.  I think she will go far."

Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.

"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams.  Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth.  "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.

Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.

Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.

Although MySportsbook.com has listed Notre Dame as the 5-1 favorite to win thecollege football College Football betting, fans in Columbus do not need to cancel their tickets to Glendale just yet.  The Ohio State Buckeyes, listed right behind the Irish at 7-1, are also heavy favorites to win college football’s most coveted prize, while West Virginia, USC and the 2007 National Champion Texas Longhorns - all listed at 8-1 – are strong contenders as well.

MySportsbook.com has also posted gambling odds on the conference championships for the ACC, Big 12 and SEC.  In the ACC – it could be anyone’s title, particularly for the two schools from the Sunshine State.  Florida State and Miami, both listed at 2-1, are favored to win the ACC Championship Game odds, with the ‘Noles hoping to finish in the nation’s top 10 for the first time in five years, and the ‘Canes looking to avenge their 10-7 loss against FSU in last year’s ACC Championship betting.

Moving west to the Big 12, MySportsbook.com has betting lines listing Texas as 7-5 favorites to repeat as conference champions, even though the Longhorns lost their national championship-winning quarterback Vince Young to the NFL.  In the south, the Auburn Tigers – led by Heisman-hopeful senior running back Kenny Irons – have been given the best odds to win the SEC Championship odds at 5-2.
