Harrington Helps Beck On Member OF Ian Woosnam

Golf Betting Lines

Simon Khan (71), Hennie Otto (71), Simon Dyson (75), Nick Dougherty (71), Anthony Wall (69) and another member of Ian Woosnam's victorious Ryder Cup team, Henrik Stenson (71), share ninth place at six-under-par 209.

 

Mitch Adcock, a sponsor's exemption who was tied with Roberts after Friday's first round, managed a three-under 69 and is alone in fourth place at eight- under-par 136.

 

Adcock moved one ahead with a seven-foot birdie putt at the ninth, but Jenkins matched him in first with a long birdie putt at the 10th. Adcock once again forged ahead with a 12-footer for birdie at 12, but things changed at the 13th.

 

Jenkins rolled in a 17-foot birdie putt at 13, while Adcock made a mess of the hole en route to a bogey. Jenkins was now one ahead, but Roberts was making a move.

 

Both Roberts and Jenkins birdied the 15th and 17th holes. Jenkins' 17-footer at 17 boosted him to 10-under par. Jenkins had 31 feet for birdie at the last, but two-putted for par. Roberts again had a makable birdie try from 13 feet at the last, but missed.

 

While two of the members of the final group were duking it out, Beck steadily climbed up the board. He birdied three and four, but it was his play on the back nine that vaulted him into contention.

 

"It's a big horse race here," said Beck, looking for his first win since 1992. "I'm just so thankful to have the opportunity to play golf again. It's like heaven on earth."

 

"I've hit some good irons this week and I'm putting well. I'm seeing the line well" said Jenkins. "It's gratifying to play a round without a bogey."

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.
