Points Warns Par From Canyons

Golf Betting Lines

The 17-year-old birdied 17 on the way in to salvage her round.

 

At the par-three 13th, Ochoa hit a five-iron to six feet to set up another birdie. After a long delay on the 14th tee box, Ochoa found the fairway, knocked her second to four feet and rolled in her third consecutive birdie putt. She was six-under par, but that was short-lived as she bogeyed the par- five 15th.

 

Sorenstam, the two-time defending champion and a five-time winner of this event, bogeyed the second, but got the stroke back with a birdie at the par- five third.

 

The Swede broke into red figures with a three-foot birdie putt at the seventh. At the par-three eighth, Sorenstam drained a birdie putt from a similar length as the hole before and made the turn at minus-two.

 

For the first time in five years, Sorenstam is not a shoe-in to win Player of the Year honors, although a sixth title in this event would go a long way to closing the gap between herself and Ochoa.

 

Women's British Open champion Sherri Steinhauer and U.S. Women's Open runner- up Pat Hurst are tied for 10th at even-par 72.

 

The par-72 Summerlin Course and the par-71 TPC at Canyons were used for the first two rounds before the TPC at Summerlin takes over on the weekend.

 

Points flew out of the gate with a 26-foot birdie putt at the second and an eight-foot eagle putt at No. 3. He hit his approach stiff at the seventh and tapped in the short birdie putt.

 

Points' first and only mistake of the round came at the par-five 16th. He hammered a drive down the fairway, but was between clubs and hit a poor second that nearly fell into the water. Points was close enough to the pond he took off his shoes and socks, but did not hit his chip hard enough. Points chipped again, nearly holed it out, but missed a four-footer for par.

 

Points overcame the miscue at 16 with six-foot birdie putt at the par-three 17th and a two-footer for birdie at the last to grab first place.
