Third Round With Birdie Maintenance

Golf Betting Lines

The Dane tallied three birdies in his first six holes, but bogeyed the seventh, a hole he has made five on in each of the first three rounds of the tournament.

 

Bjorn recovered with a birdie at nine, a hole he has birdied each of the first three rounds. He parred the first three holes on the second nine, then birdied No. 13.

 

Now Bjorn has a shot to win at the same venue as his first win on the European Tour.

 

Ernie Els, a two-time winner of this tournament, shot a four-under 67 on Saturday. He is tied for 10th place with Jamie Donaldson (71), Mark Foster (68) and Charl Schwartzel (72). The group is knotted at seven-under-par 206.

 

Roberts began the third round in a tie for 15th place after the second round -- suspended due to inclement weather on Friday -- was completed in the morning.

 

It was also his first Champions Tour title after winning eight times on the PGA Tour.

 

He made a run at the U.S. Senior Open last week with a record-setting 62 in the third round, then shot 73 on Sunday to finish tied for eighth.

 

Saturday, Roberts began making a move with back-to-back birdies to begin his third round. He added birdies at the fifth and seventh holes to make the turn at 10-under, then collected another birdie at the 10th.

 

Brad Bryant and Quigley share third place at 11-under-par 205 after both shot 68 in the third round.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
