Golf Betting Lines
07/18/2010 -
Winnipeg, MB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - American Aaron Goldberg fired a five-under 66
on Sunday to win the Canadian Tour's Players Cup by one shot.
Goldberg finished four rounds on the Pine Ridge course at 11-under 273 for his
first tour win.
The victory netted the 24-year-old Californian a spot in next week's Canadian
Open, a PGA Tour event.
Canada's Jim Rutledge also had a 66 to take second place at 10-under 274.
Americans Mike Grob and Rob Grube both shot 68s to finish third and fourth,
respectively, at 275 and 276.
The third round was completed Sunday morning because of a five-hour weather
delay on Saturday that pushed the tournament back.
NOTES: Goldberg earned $48,000 for the victory, the top prize on the Canadian
Tour so far this season, and vaulted to the top of the money list.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
