Creamer leads by three at suspended Women's Open

Golf Betting Lines

07/10/2010 - Oakmont, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paula Creamer was one-under par through 13 holes of the third round Saturday when play was halted for the day at the U.S. Women's Open due to darkness.

Creamer was atop the leaderboard at minus-one and was three shots clear of Wendy Ward. Creamer, an eight-time winner on the LPGA Tour, is in search of her first major championship title.

Ward is also minus-one for her round and stands at plus-two through 17 holes of the third round.

The championship was playing catch up all day after inclement weather halted action on Friday and forced the second round to be completed earlier Saturday.

Once the second round was completed, players went off the first and 10th tees in threesomes. More than half the field managed to complete round three before darkness fell at Oakmont Country Club.

Creamer and Sakura Yokomine shared the lead when the second round was completed earlier Saturday.

Suzann Pettersen is alone in third at plus-three. Fifteen-year-old Alexis Thompson is the leader in the clubhouse at four-over-par 217. She carded a one-under 70 in the third round.

Thompson was joined in fourth place by Amy Yang (15 holes) and Brittany Lang (14 holes).

Creamer started her third round with three straight pars and that allowed her to take a one-shot lead at even-par, as Yokomine fell apart early in the third round.

The 23-year-old Creamer birdied the par-five fourth to move one ahead of Lang, who had birdied the second and fourth to gain a share of the lead. After a pair of pars, Creamer tripped to a bogey on the seventh, but was two clear of Lang, who bogeyed three of four holes from the fifth.

Creamer got back to minus-one with a birdie on the par-four 10th. She moved to two-under with a birdie on the long par-five 12th, a hole which she had bogeyed the first two rounds.

At the par-three 13th, Creamer faltered to a bogey in the waning light and that was her last hole of the day.

Creamer hasn't won a major, but has won several of the LPGA Tour's bigger events. She claimed the 2005 Evian Masters, the Tournament of Champions in 2007 and the 2008 Samsung World Championship.

The win at the Samsung stands as Creamer's last LPGA Tour victory as she has battled a thumb injury through most of last year and the earlier part of this season as well.

In fact, this is just Creamer fifth start of the year and fourth since having surgery on her injured left thumb.

Natalie Gulbis and Jeong Jang, who are both through 17 holes, are tied for seventh place at plus-five. They stand alongside In-Kyung Kim (16 holes) and Christina Kim (14 holes).

Karrie Webb (73), Na Yeon Choi (72) and Jiyai Shin (72) are tied for 11th at six-over-par 219. Stacy Lewis, Sophie Gustafson, Cristie Kerr and Yokomine also stand at plus-six with holes remaining in their third rounds.

NOTES: The third round is slated to resume at 8:00 a.m. (et) Sunday with the final round to follow at approximately 10:20 a.m....Defending champion Eun-Hee Ji is tied for 34th at 12-over par...Ji is plus-two through 13 holes of the third round...Amateur Kelli Shean, who shared second place after the first round, has struggled ever since...Shean has tumbled into 64th place at plus-19 after shooting a 12-over 83 in round three.

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.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
